Good afternoon, my reader. Long-lived and beautiful-flowing perennials can be planted not only in early spring, but also in the fall. Among the garden plants for a luxurious appearance and a large variety of varieties is very appreciated by Clematis. It is well rooted in the soil, and it is easy to care for him.
Autumn - the most favorable time for its breeding. Clematis quickly coming up in a warm summer soil, feels good in winter, and in the spring pleases with a bright greens. The main thing - when planting this beautiful perennial, you need to try to take into account all the recommendations.
As in the case of any other plants, it is primarily important to choose high-quality seedlings. When buying a planting material, you need to pay attention to the following nuances:
- roots must be wet, and the kidneys are sleeping;
- On the root system there should be no traces of rot and unnecessary processes;
- It is better to buy a blooming plant.
If Clematis is already in the garden plot, they can be multiplied with the help of existing plants. It is necessary to select flowers with a well-developed root system, which can be divided into parts.
The upper part of Clematis loves the sunlight, so it is desirable to choose a well-lit plot for planting. But the root system, on the contrary, does not tolerate large temperatures, so the lower part of the plant is better sharpened. For example, next to them is recommended to disembark other flowers that will give a shadow. In this case, you can avoid strong soil warming on hot days.
So that the soil has time to settle down to landing in the soil, experienced gardeners are recommended to pull out the spacious pit under Clematis for about a month. The land must be loose and nutritious, moisture-permeable and well-drained.
Locking must be made as follows:
- decompose roots in the well;
- gradually pour the soil (root neck of the plant was blown into the ground at least 8 centimeters);
- plenty to pour.
We need to make feeding under the bushes in time:
- nitrogen - in August;
- Potash and phosphate - in September.
If you put Clematis in such a way and provide him with the right care, it will reveal all his beauty in 3-5 years.
How well the flowers will transfer the winter depends on the preparation of the plant. With the onset of the first frosts, it is necessary to gently remove the scourge from the support and remove the weak, damaged and sick shoots from them. The cropped plant will not spend the energy of the leaf and the spring will begin to grow rapidly.
Trimming on the weaves of the current and past year varies. In the first case, leave the shoots with a height of about thirty centimeters with several kidneys. In the second - Clematis is cut off twice, they do this usually after the foaming of buds. In this case, it is desirable to remove all the tops of the shoots about a third.
Next, the shoulders need to be protected from frosts: put them on a pre-closed earth and insulate from above. Over plants you can build a low wooden structure and cover it with a thick cellophone, and to fall asleep the ground on top.
Clematis cultivation requires certain knowledge, skills and time, but it is worth it: as a result, beautiful plants are obtained for decorating and landscaping.
