Care Instructions
Clematis integrifolia thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. The plant enjoys moderate humidity and should be protected from extreme temperatures.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. A mix of garden soil with compost or organic matter works well.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 should be applied during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot Clematis integrifolia every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.Propagation
Propagate by taking softwood cuttings in late spring or early summer. Cut a healthy stem just below a node, remove the lower leaves, and plant it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a bright, indirect light location.Pruning
Prune Clematis integrifolia in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove dead or weak stems and cut back the remaining stems to a pair of healthy buds. This encourages new growth and maintains the plant's shape.Toxicity
Clematis integrifolia is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, ingestion of large quantities of any plant material can cause mild stomach upset. Always supervise pets and children around plants.Additional
Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Clematis integrifolia can benefit from a support structure, such as a trellis, to help it grow upright and display its flowers more effectively.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
