Besides heat, Clematis necessary to provide:

  • Timely watering. Powerful shrub consumes a lot of water, and underneath the soil should be well saturated with it. If rainy season, the vine is enough natural rainfall. In the hot and dry years, the bushes should be watered 1-2 times a week, well promachivaya the ground to a depth of at least 20 cm.

  • to the soil requirements. Clematis can not tolerate even a minimal soil acidification. This feature must be considered when planting: to eliminate stagnant water need to ensure good drainage, and sour soil suburbs and the central belt to make more alkaline by adding any of the landing pit lime materials. As the deoxidizing agent can be used even after replacing the debris plaster.
  • The optimal distance between the bushes. Planting clematis group, leave between them as much as possible free space. Large plant needs in abundance, not only light, but also power. For the normal development of the root system of the bush need about 1 square. m. In this area, it is not recommended even to plant ground cover plants.

How to feed?

Many years of bush greatly depletes the soil, which is growing. To restore the balance of minerals needed clematis has to feed during the entire season, providing them with the necessary nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. But the choice of fertilizer should be approached carefully. Mineral granulated mixture can acidify the soil and bring too much benefit.

Experienced growers apply alkaline compositions on the basis of ammonia (or a number of herbal mash liquid fertilizer purchased). Together with a high content of nitrogenous substances they contain trace elements (boron, molybdenum and so forth.), Acidified ground and not have a convenient form for application. When infusion of herbal mash used independently Baikal EM-1 or the like additive. Enrich the composition of potassium salts and the phosphorus additive helps wood ash (which has an alkaline reaction and is particularly useful for clematis).

Fertilizing spend about 3 times per season, at intervals of 1 month:

  • First, with a high content of nitrogen - in the spring, when left in the shelter of the stems begin to open the kidneys;
  • second, with a complete set of nutrients - in the beginning of flowering (June);
  • third dressing contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, introduced in mid-July.
Any fertilizer under the clematis is made only in liquid form. Shallow root system does not allow to dig soil spills when dry granules. And granulated mixture and diluted liquid fertilizer according to instructions in the irrigation water.

To bush had a good root system, it expanded, expanding sprouts after winter on the ground. Then, in the middle of the bush fill up a few buckets of earth, covering it base of the shoots. Each of them take root, receiving extra food.
