Advice
Plants of this kind are presented perennial herbaceous and subshrub forms. Most often it is a vine to climb, but there are bushy types height of about 50 cm. The genus Clematis is divided into large, medium and melkotsvetkovye species. Colors are bright, have a subtle pleasant aroma. Clematis look great in home gardens in the single crop or in combination with other plants. They are used for vertical landscaping walls, arbors, arches, rabatok.
Propagated by seeds, cuttings and slips. But more often the root reproduction apply. To quickly get enough viable mature bush, carry out division clematis.
Please be aware that the variety of plant root system can be fibrous, with many equivalent root and stem, where one main root is released. Multiply by dividing the bush plants are not older than 7 years. Older Clematis by dividing take root much worse, since they root system is heavily overgrown and dig up a part of the bush, without damaging it, is already problematic.
At the same time, even the old bushes useful to update the division. This stimulates the growth of young roots, which improves overall plant nutrition.
Share Clematis can be in the spring and fall. But the timing of the spring for transplant fairly compressed. This must be done in a short period when the soil has thawed, but the buds have not yet woken up. Clematis transplanted in the spring for a long time to adapt to a new place. Autumn transplant goes for plants more safely.
During the multiplication by division can simply dig a part of the bush and transplanted to a new location. But in this case, it is easily damaged root system and plants for a long time sick.
There are more correct and gentle way of division. To do this, you must first prepare the plant, cutting off almost completely the upper part of the autonomic. Penechki of shoots should be low to have only 2-3 pairs of kidneys. The bush is completely dug. Rhizome is released from soil and is divided with a sharp knife so that each part was at least one pillar of the escape from the kidneys.
Each separated part is treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and planted at a fixed place. To make this large hole, put the seedlings in them so that the bottom pair of kidneys on the shoot was recessed. Poured their nutrient soil mix consisting of washed river sand, garden soil and humus in equal proportions.
The first 3-4 weeks is necessary to constantly monitor soil moisture. Water the plants copiously 1 times a week, when the weather is dry it should be done more often. You can dig around the bush 2-3 containers filled with drainage. This will provide a more uniform delivery of moisture to the roots.
Older Clematis can be rejuvenated without a transplant. For this drill garden around it make a few deep holes at an angle to the bush. The soil and the root system parts, ragged borer is removed. The holes are filled with a mixture of humus nutrient and complex fertilizers, then abundantly watered. This procedure not only refreshes the soil around the plants, but also stimulates the growth of new lateral roots.
Rejuvenation of the root system has a positive effect on the flowering clematis activity, but it should be carried out not more than 1 time in 5 years.
