Clematis cirrhosa, commonly known as the Evergreen Clematis, is a climbing plant in the family Ranunculaceae. Native to the Mediterranean region, it thrives in subtropical climates. This plant is known for its attractive, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in winter and early spring. It has a dormancy period of about 2 months.
Clematis cirrhosa requires indirect bright light and moderate temperatures. It prefers a humid environment and should be watered when the soil partially dries out. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support its growth.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering.
Repotting
Repot Clematis cirrhosa every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot and refresh the soil to provide adequate nutrients.
Propagation
Propagate Clematis cirrhosa through stem cuttings or layering. The best time to propagate is during the growing season when the plant is actively growing.
Pruning
Prune the plant after flowering to remove dead or weak stems and to shape the plant. Regular pruning helps to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's vigor.
