❤️Clematis Grow and Care Instructions❤️

~ Grow Instructions ~

• Fill your chosen container with the seed starting mix.
• If you are using a cell tray, make a little indent in the middle of each cell in which to drop a seed. I often just use my finger to make a little hole, although any small object will work just as well, such as the eraser end of a pencil.
• If using any other type of container, you can use the same technique.
• Place the clematis seeds in the holes and cover. You can use the seed starting mix or vermiculite to cover the seeds.
• I usually use vermiculite, as it is very useful in helping to keep the moisture in the soil, and it also helps to prevent damping off.
• Moisten the soil, and keep moist until germination occurs. If using a cell tray, bottom watering is a fabulous way to keep the tray watered without disturbing the seeds.
• It is very important to keep the seed starting mix moist while the seeds are germinating. If left to dry out completely while the seeds have started to germinate, the seeds will most likely perish.
• Place the cell tray on a heat mat, which can help the seeds to germinate.
• Light can also aide in germination, so consider placing a grow light above the cell tray on the heat mat.
• Most often I don’t place seedling cell trays under the grow lights until they have germinated by 60%. For clematis however it seems that the time frame may be somewhat more prolonged, and I didn’t want to keep the already germinated seedlings in the dark for a prolonged period.
• For successful germination of clematis seed you will need to plant them in a good seed starting mix which is sterile and free of pathogens. Moistening the soil will initiate the germination process, and providing light will also aide the process. Some clematis seed will also benefit from a period of cold stratification, although this is not always necessary.

~ Care Instructions ~

Soil Conditions

One of the most important parts of Clematis care is to make sure you have well-drained but moist soil to grow the plants in.

Their roots can rot if they are too wet, and the leaves will fall off if it is too dry.

Clematis also prefer neutral to alkaline soil.

If you live in an area that has acidic soil, sprinkle some lime around the plants in the spring to help neutralize it.

Watering

Watering regularly is a necessity for good-looking Clematis plants and flowers, especially during the heat of the summer.

As I mentioned above, not having enough water will cause the leaves to dry up and fall off leaving a very unhappy looking plant.

Installing your own drip watering system will make sure that they get the consistent watering they require.

Mulch

Mulch is the easiest way to prevent the roots of your Clematis from overheating.

And it also helps to keep the soil moisture from evaporating (which helps with that water requirement).

Every spring, cover the base of all of my plants with a 3″ to 4″ thick layer of mulch making sure that it doesn’t touch the stems (which can cause them to rot).

Fertilizing

With all of those big blooms, Clematis needs a lot of nutrients from the soil.

Fertilizing in the spring and the fall will help to keep them healthy and blooming.

I like to use organic fertilizer.

In the spring, sprinkle alfalfa pellets around the base of the plant and water them until they get mushy.
