Botany Encyclopedia

Genus : Clematis

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant grows in Northeast Asia. It thrives in areas with indirect light and low humidity.

🪨 Soil Mix

When planting, it's best to use well-draining soil. Generally, mix 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, you can adjust the ratios based on the situation and environment.

🌡️ Environment

The ideal temperature is 21-25°C. In winter, ensure it doesn't drop below 0°C. If the soil temperature is too high, plants won't grow well. Plant them so the leaves get sunlight and the roots stay in the shade. Some types can survive winter outdoors, but it's best to cover the roots to prevent the soil temperature from dropping too low.

👀 Characteristics details

Since the roots are shallow, a wide pot is better than a deep one. This plant is a vine, so its petioles act as tendrils, but they have weak attachment strength. Therefore, providing a trellis with a spacing of 20 cm or less will help it adhere better.

☀️ Light

Ensure the plant receives plenty of light. It also grows well in indirect light.

💧 Water

When the surface soil is dry, water the plant.

🌱 Propagate

Propagation by cuttings is common after separating healthy branches. For cuttings: 1. For water propagation, avoid using transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. When roots are 5-7 cm long, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help the plant adapt to gentle light. Maintain high humidity and a temperature of 18-25°C.

🪴 Repot

Repot healthy plants every 1-2 years in spring, as they tend to grow quickly.

💊 Fertilize

Use fertilizer at the recommended amount during spring and summer to encourage more vigorous growth.

🌺 Flower

The blooming period is from spring to summer.

😵 Toxicity

Be cautious with pets and young children as it is toxic.
