Botanical description
Clematis is known as clematis, or vine. There are about 300 species worldwide, differing in color, shape and size. Modern classification defines large-, medium- and small-flowered.
Shoots
Stems grow from dormant buds or roots at the base. Most varieties cling to supports and reach more than 4 m (some grow up to 5-8 m).

House conditions
Clematis do well indoors. Miniature plants do not exceed 1.5 m in height. For comfortable growth, the plant needs space and proper care.
Humidity indicators
Plants do not tolerate very wet soil. The roots are protected from rotting by a special mound.
Room humidity is no less important. A poorly ventilated room provokes the spread of fungal infections.
For abundant flowering, it is recommended to make a short drop in temperature to -6°C.
Lighting
Potted weed grows in a well-lit place, protected from direct sunlight to avoid burns.The plant is exposed to the sun for at least 7 hours.
If the container is dark, wrap it with film or a rag to avoid overheating the soil.
Where to keep
In spring and summer, the home bush feels great in any room and on the balcony. For the winter, it is put away on a glazed balcony, warehouse, or left in the hall at temperatures up to 8°C. At high temperatures the buds will not open.

Home care
Domestic clematis bloom less profusely, but delight with their flowers longer. Slow-growing varieties are chosen as ornamental houseplants.
Priming
The soil for home growing should be loose, airy, and not too dry. If natural soil is used, it should be slightly alkaline or neutral. The soil is prepared a year before planting the sprout.
The drainage layer includes a mixture of earth, sand and humus in a ratio of 1:1:1.
Tara
Even the decorative variety has a powerful root system. The flower pot is selected from 20 liters in volume, high, diameter 45 cm.
Wooden boxes, ceramic, concrete pots or large plastic containers should have a tray for watering and feeding the plant. For air circulation, 3-5 holes are made in the soil.
Watering
Household clematis is watered more often than street ones. The liquid is introduced from below, through a special tray.
The first year after planting, 2 waterings in 7 days (30 liters per bush) are sufficient.In the third year, watering is reduced to 1 per week. In hot weather, plants are watered more often.
Spraying
When processing clematis at home, gentle biological products are used. Fitosporin and Glyocladin are used for diseases.
Against pests - Fitovem. The product eliminates spider mites, which often infect home bushes. To enhance the effect, pour onion peel infusion.
Fertilizer
During the flowering period, the vine is fertilized with compost or granules. Fertilizers for roses are introduced once every 2 months. Additionally, a product rich in potassium is added.
For the winter, clematis is fertilized with ash, which will strengthen the plant and prepare the plant for flowering.
Trimming
- At the end of autumn, the vines are pruned according to crop groups.
- The 1st group is pruned only after flowering, no more than a third. The remaining stems are covered.
- In the 2nd, the stems are cut in the fall, up to three nodes. During flowering, only young branches are pruned and covered with special material.
- The 3rd group is pruned during the flowering period, then in late autumn. Covered with non-woven material.
Transfer
Clematis develops very quickly and does not like frequent transplants. In the 2nd year after planting, a container of 45-50 liters is selected for it. In the 4th year, the plant is planted in open ground for natural restoration.
Rest period
- Preparation for winter takes place in late autumn. The indoor ornamental plant sleeps until the first warm weather.
- Growing in open ground
- When growing clematis in open ground, it is necessary to take into account the composition of the soil, climatic conditions and a number of other factors.
Choosing a place
The clematis does not like frequent movements, so it is necessary to determine a suitable place in advance. The plant can grow in one place for about 20 years.
Clematis grow in partial shade or sunny areas, well protected from the wind.
- Soil
- Clematis is very capricious in relation to the soil. The soil is slightly alkaline, neutral or slightly acidic.
- The first shoots will take root well in light, drained soil, located as far as possible from groundwater.
- When digging a hole, it is important to put gravel or small brick on the bottom. Fill it with a compacted mixture of peat and humus with the addition of 250 g of wood ash.
- Planting dates
In the southern regions (Kuban, Caucasus), plants will take root better in early April. In central Russia (Moscow), planting occurs in mid-April.
In Siberia and the Urals, planting occurs in early May.
In spring, planting occurs before flowering begins — the third ten days of April — early May (depending on the region).
In autumn, when the intensive growth of green mass has ceased, but the roots are still growing. The plant needs 1.5 to 2 months to strengthen before the onset of frost. If early frosts occur, Clematis is transferred to a pot.
Watering
The plant is watered into the hole, without touching the leaves, so as not to provoke the development of a fungal infection and wilting.When growing clematis in open ground, it is necessary to take into account the composition of the soil, climatic conditions and a number of other factors.
Selecting a location
Lozinka does not like to move frequently, so it is necessary to determine a suitable place in advance. The plant can grow in one place for about 20 years.

Landing dates
In the southern regions (Kuban, Caucasus), plants will take root better in early April.
In central Russia (Moscow), planting occurs in mid-April.
In Siberia and the Urals they are planted in early May.
Landing
In spring, planting is carried out before flowering begins - the third ten days of April - early May (depending on the region).
In autumn, when the intensive growth of green mass has stopped, but the roots are still growing. The plant needs 1.5 - 2 months to strengthen before the onset of frost. If early frosts set in, Clematis is transferred to a pot.
Watering
The plant is watered into the hole without touching the leaves, so as not to provoke the development of a fungal infection and wilting.
Young bushes are watered once a week, 5 liters per plant. Adults - once every two weeks, 10 liters per bush.
Fertilizer
At the beginning of flowering, the tree trunk circle is fertilized with ammonium nitrate (1 tablespoon per 10 l) or urea (up to 8 g). Growth stimulating drugs will be used. After 10 days, the fertilizer is repeated.
After two weeks of rest, combined fertilizers are applied and repeated for the second flowering.
In the fall, they are treated with a 0.5% phosphorus-potassium solution to increase frost resistance and accelerate the development of shoots.
Before wintering, add a solution of superphosphate with sulfate (1 tbsp.per 10 liters of water per 1 adult bush).
Trimming by groups
Each variety of grapevine belongs to a specific pruning group. They differ in timing and cut-off level.
1 group
The stems of the bush are removed after flowering, in July. Weak or broken branches are cut off to a height of at least 1.5 m.
These include:
Knyazhiki Group;
Mountain clematis;
Orientalis Group;
Montana.
2nd group
Pruned after the first flowering (old branches), at the end of the season (all vines up to 1 m).
Groups of this type include:
Lugnosa;
Florida;
Patens (some varieties).
3 group
The stems are heavily pruned in the fall. The entire bush up to 30-50 cm is removed.
The group includes:
Jacquemin;
- Oriental;
- Texensis;
Viticella;
Straight.
Supports
Strongly growing clematis need a supporting structure.
Tomato variety Sanka: description and characteristics, reviews and photos
The best material for supporting flowering clematis: chain-link mesh, metal perforation, wooden picket fence, metal tubes.
The supports can have different shapes and sizes, but are selected based on the height of the shoots.They are buried deeply (up to 500 cm), reinforced with soil or concrete.
Dormant period
The final processing of clematis occurs in late autumn. Before the first warming, the plant falls asleep.
Preparing for winter
To prepare clematis for winter, it is necessary to carry out proper agricultural preparation.
The main stage is fertilization. The last feeding contains potassium and phosphorus, carried out in early September. In central Russia, at the end of September, a mixture of ash (250 g) and sand (250 g) is scattered.
The bushes are watered exclusively under the root until the end of October, the soil is loosened.
At the beginning of November, shoots are removed from the 2nd and 3rd pruning groups (partially or completely).
The next stage is hilling. The soil is enriched with humus or compost, a mound of 10-15 cm is created.
Young and frost-resistant vines are covered with mulch or a special cloth.
Spring processing
With the onset of warmth, the covers are carefully removed. This is done in several stages to prepare the plant for sunlight.The plant and soil are sprayed with copper sulfate or Bordeaux mixture (1%).
The excess is cut off, the branches are distributed and tied to a support. The 1st group undergoes sanitary pruning - diseased, damaged branches and inflorescences are removed.
In bushes of the 2nd group, last year's vines up to 1.5 m are removed. Then they undergo sanitary pruning. Bushes of the 3rd group are pruned completely to 20 cm from the ground.
In rainy weather, the bushes are not watered, only loosened. If rains are rare, water once a week. In dry spring, watering is carried out once every 5 days. The roots of an adult clematis are watered with 30-50 liters per bush.
Fertilizer is administered three times. The first is at the end of April, mineral fertilizer with nitrogen is introduced. For example, ammonium nitrate (20 g per 1 bucket of water), urea or dry fertilizer. The latter are scattered around the bush and into the soil. Liquid fertilizer is poured at the base of the stem.
The second feeding is introduced a week later. Organic fertilizer is used - chicken manure (1:20), horse and cow manure (1:10).
The third stage of feeding is complex.Rich in minerals, add 2 weeks after the second.
As a preventive measure against diseases and bacteria, remove all weeds on the site in the spring, as well as broken branches, fallen leaves and dried fruits.
Features of caring for a first-year plant
Young clematis is planted in pre-fertilized soil or soil, so it does not need additional fertilizers. The first year, one bush takes 2 buckets of water per week. After watering, the soil is loosened to prevent stagnation of liquid. With the strengthening of the roots, loosening is stopped.
The plant must be mulched, the soil must be cleared of weeds.
If one shoot has grown, it is pinched to stimulate the lateral stems. The buds of the first year are cut off. The growing branches are tied to the supporting structure.
For the winter, the stems are cut to the first bud at the base, covered from the cold. Reproduction
Many gardeners independently propagate clematis for their plots. The popularity of the variety has led to variability in reproduction.Rich in minerals, added 2 weeks after the second.
As a preventive measure against diseases and bacteria, in the spring, remove all weeds on the site, as well as broken branches, fallen leaves and dried fruits.
Features of caring for a plant in the first year
Young clematis is planted in pre-fertilized soil or soil, and therefore does not require additional fertilizers. The first year, one bush needs 2 buckets of water per week. After watering, the soil is loosened to prevent stagnation of liquid. As the roots become stronger, loosening stops.
The plant must be mulched and the soil must be cleared of weeds.
If one shoot has grown, it is pinched to stimulate the lateral stems.The buds of the first year are cut off. Growing branches are tied to the supporting structure.
For winter, the stems are cut to the first bud at the base and protected from the cold.
Reproduction
Many gardeners grow clematis for their own plot. The popularity of the variety has led to variability in reproduction.
For propagation, young green and woody two-year-old cuttings are taken. Spring breeding takes place in May. Take cuttings of the 1st and 2nd pruning groups.
Summer cuttings have a high survival rate, up to 95%. For propagation, cuttings of strong bushes are taken during flowering. They are planted in a soft substrate made from a mixture of compost, peat and sand.
The cuttings are placed in disinfected soil at an angle, up to the internode.
Autumn propagation is carried out on two-year-old shoots. Prepared cuttings are planted in the ground 1.5-2 months before the cold weather.
In conditions of early frosts, cuttings are stored in boxes at temperatures up to 3°C in a dark room. In spring they are planted in open ground.
Dividing the bush
Reproduction is carried out on five-year-old clematis. Shrubs are watered abundantly and dug around the circumference.
Using pruning shears, cut the stems down to 25-30 cm, and remove the leaves completely. The root system is cleared of soil and washed. The roots are divided into 3 parts, maintaining branches with shoots.
The separated roots are immersed in a solution that stimulates growth for 3-4 hours.
By layering
One of the available types of reproduction. They take root at the end of May.
Dig holes to a depth of 9 cm, next to an adult bush. A shoot is planted, the shoots at the internodes are attached to the soil with sticks, and covered with earth. The whip is placed 20 cm above the soil. The earth is slightly moistened.
When young shoots appear, the holes are filled up. During the summer, the soil is moistened as it dries, and complex fertilizing is introduced. For the winter they cover themselves with spruce branches.
Vaccinations
Difficult to root varieties are propagated by grafting. The process is carried out outdoors in June-August.
The rootstock is 2-year-old seedlings or roots of wild shrubs (Chinese, grape, burning). To obtain the necessary roots, wild varieties are grown in 3-liter boxes. The finished roots are washed and trimmed to 20 cm.
The vaccine is administered in two ways:
Split. The top of the root is cut and a cutting is applied. Tie tightly.
Butt. A longitudinal slit is cut from the base of the kidney. The root is also cut to 3 cm. They are applied to each other and wrapped.
They grow in a greenhouse, covered with film at temperatures up to 20°C. The regrown sprouts are pinched at a height of 15 cm and unwound. Planted to a depth of 30 cm.
Seeds
This method is used in selection. Hybrid and selection varieties are not suitable for propagation by seeds. Autumn sowing - large and medium seeds are placed in open ground to a depth of 5-7 cm.
Sowing in spring is carried out with seeds of any size. Medium and large seeds are prepared in advance (kept at temperatures up to 20°C, then at 4-6°C).
Planting material is kept for several days in water at room temperature. Add stimulants (Zircon). The solution is changed after 5 hours.
- The next stage is oxygen saturation of the liquid in which the seeds are located.
- Pests
- Perennial clematis is regularly attacked by insects. They carry diseases, completely destroying the variety. It is important to immediately recognize the type of pest and prevent it.
Beet aphid
The insect lays eggs in the fall. In spring it feeds on sap from leaves and shoots. The sticky liquid secreted by aphids destroys the leaves. The pest attacks in colonies and lives on the underside of the leaf.
A clear sign of aphids are ants. They carry fragile, hatched insects.They feed on their secretions.
A small group of insects can be eliminated with water pressure. Ladybugs or wasps are placed on the leaves. You can attract birds.
Special preparations are used - the insecticide Fitoverm (2 ml per 1 liter of water), or folk remedies - tincture of tomato leaves, horseradish or wormwood. Spray the leaves and stems generously.
For prevention, garlic or onions are planted nearby. The pungent smell will repel pests. Before flowering, spray with fungicidal preparations.
Snails
Insects eat greens with the onset of warm nights. When they reach the kidneys, the snails cause growth to stop. A fungal virus penetrates the bite site.
To combat snails, baits (fallen leaves, weeds) with poisoned granules are used.After the soil has died, it is necessary to clear it of debris and burn it.
An alternative option is to treat the above-ground stems with a solution of ammonia (2 tbsp. per 1 liter of water).
To prevent a snail invasion, it is important to clear the soil of debris in a timely manner.
Nematodes
Roundworms damage the root system and the base of the shoots. After which they affect the leaves. Infected clematis stop developing, the leaves decrease. For plants planted this year, an attack by nematodes is fatal.
There is no targeted remedy for the destruction of roundworms. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully examine the roots of the plant before planting and treat them with hot water, above 60 ° C.
Quarantine is maintained in the soil where the nematodes developed.Calendula and marigolds planted next to the bushes prevent the appearance of harmful insects.
Spider mite
The pest is active during the summer drought. It covers the entire above-ground part of the shoots with cobwebs. The leaves become speckled with yellow, become covered with cobwebs and dry out.
Removing a tick is not easy. The web is sprayed with gentle agents - Fitoverm, Bitoxibacillin. A heavily infected plant is treated with chemicals - Actellik or Anti-Mite (1 ml of the drug per 1 liter of water). The wrong proportion will burn the plant and damage the soil.
Preventive measures are carried out with folk remedies - garlic infusion (200 g per 10 l), dishwashing liquid (after spraying, cover with polyethylene for at least 3 days).
Night owl
A large dark red moth lays eggs on leaves. There are about 70 larvae in one clutch. Voracious green or brown caterpillars chew through the stems and eat all the vegetation.
For the winter, insects bury themselves under the plant and wrap themselves in a cocoon.
During the flowering period, gentle biological products are used to eliminate caterpillars in several stages. During the winter, the soil is dug up and the fallen cocoons die.
Calendula planted nearby will repel the night armyworm. Its aroma drives away insects. After the season, deep digging of the earth is carried out. The top layer of soil (20 cm) is replaced with a new one.
Once every 7 days, the shoots are sprayed with Decisa or Tsitkora.
Prevention is possible with folk remedies. The branches are sprayed with tinctures of burdock, onion or wormwood. The most effective is a decoction of hot pepper (100 g of red pepper per 1 liter of water). Boil for about an hour. One bush requires 9 liters.
Garden slug
The nocturnal insect eats young shoots and leaves of clematis. During the day, the main carriers of diseases hide from the sun.
To combat pests, the soil and plant are sprayed with ammonia diluted with water - 2 tbsp. l. products per 1 liter of liquid. In places where slugs accumulate, granulated Ferramol crumbles. | Tomato variety Mongolian dwarf: description and characteristics, reviews and photos |
Timely checking of Clematis for the presence of slugs and their removal will reduce the risk of plant disease.Cabbage leaves or tree bark are used as bait. | Bedbugs |
Garden bugs are green. They attack young leaves from the back side from the beginning of May. The foliage becomes stained and dries out. Eggs laid in holes at the ends of the stems slow down the development of the bush. Flowering stops. | Bedbugs are destroyed with insecticides. Treatment is carried out twice - after the attack and closer to autumn. |
The appearance of bedbugs is prevented by spraying with special anti-bedbug agents in the spring. | Rodents |
Field mice and hares attack willows in winter. They chew the stems and dig under the roots. | Rodents are exterminated with poisoned bait or a mousetrap.An alternative solution would be elderberry infusion, which repels rodents. |
As a preventive measure, branches of nettle, cilantro or garlic are laid out near the hole. | |
Shields | Heat-loving insect pests live in the southern regions. They attack leaf blades in colonies. They release a sticky liquid. |
You can get rid of scale insects with an alcohol solution or potassium soap (4%). They wipe the foliage, brushing away pests. | Preventive measures - the stems are periodically watered with Aktara solution (1.4 g per 10 liters of liquid). |
Medvedki | Insects attack the root system from underground with the onset of spring. Particularly dangerous for young vines. |
You can get rid of mole crickets with a water-soap solution (10 liters per 20 g) with the addition of 2 tbsp. l.oils The liquid is poured into the holes. | An alternative option would be a special remedy against mole crickets or Metarizin (an environmental insecticide). |
You can get rid of mole crickets in the fall, when you loosen the soil. The larvae are selected from the ground and destroyed. | Diseases |
Among clematis, there are about 30 pathogenic microflora pathogens. Plants are more susceptible to fungal diseases. | Wither or Wilt |
Wilting is caused by fungal spores. The ideal environment for development is high humidity with poor watering. | Attacks weakened shoots with external damage. In the process, they dry out and die, and the leaves fall off. |
The initial stage of the disease is treated in several stages: | the soil is watered with a 3% solution of foundation, the above-ground part of the shoots is treated with Bordeaux mixture (1%); |
spraying with biological fungicides; | wiping leaves with wood ash. |
The wilted parts are destroyed, the surviving areas and the soil are abundantly watered with enhanced fungicides (Naftifin).
For preventative purposes, all cut shoots are destroyed in the fall. At the beginning of flowering, the bush is treated with copper sulfate.
Phomopsis wilt
The fungal infection begins to spread in June. It affects leaves at the base of the shoot. In mild stages of the disease, they acquire yellow-brown spots. Without treatment, the wilting intensifies and covers the entire leaf.It dies and the disease spreads to the flowers.
- Treatment. Infected leaves and buds are destroyed, all stems are treated with Previkur. For prevention in the spring, use 3% copper sulfate.
- Yellow mosaic
- Viral patterned spots cover the leaves of clematis unnoticed by gardeners. Many people mistake yellow stripes or stains for plant characteristics.
- The mosaic slowly dries out the stems, while the bush looks healthy. The flowers of the affected plant become smaller and the ability to reproduce is lost.
The plant affected by the yellow mosaic is destroyed.
The disease actively affects the leaves and buds of clematis in July-August. A white fluffy coating slows down development and deforms flowers. Quickly spreads to neighboring plants. Infected areas are cut off and burned. The surviving areas are treated with folk remedies (1 tablespoon of powdered mustard per 5 liters of water or ethyl alcohol with salicylic acid 1:1). Fungicides are also used.
To prevent the disease, products containing copper are used. Rust
Weeds are considered carriers of spores. Rust overwinters on wheatgrass and begins to spread in the spring. The disease is characterized by small convex spots of dark red, rusty color.The spots grow, destroying the plant. To combat the disease, Bordeaux mixture (1-2%) is sprayed onto the affected areas. Timely elimination of all weeds on the site prevents the appearance of rust.
The disease is identified by brown spots on flowers and leaves. In the process, they dry out and curl. Treat clematis with copper oxychloride. All plants on the site are generously sprayed.
Copper sulfate is used as a preventative measure. It is important to plant plants at a distance to maintain ventilation. Problems during cultivation
In the first year after planting, slow development of stems is observed. Growth stops at the beginning of summer, when the plant has grown 20-25 cm. This is due to poor care. The plant cannot develop independently and requires additional complex fertilizers containing nitrogen. The number of waterings increases.
Cause of the defect
Red spots on shoots
Heat, drought
