Care Instructions
Clematis lanuginosa thrives in temperate climates with moderate temperatures. It prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered regularly to keep the soil partially moist. The plant benefits from high humidity and should be protected from extreme temperatures.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept partially moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Clematis lanuginosa benefits from a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.Repotting
Repotting is recommended every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and use a well-draining soil mix. Repot in early spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
Clematis lanuginosa can be propagated through stem cuttings or layering. The best time to propagate is during the spring or early summer. Take healthy cuttings from the plant and root them in a well-draining soil mix.Pruning
Pruning is essential for maintaining the shape and health of Clematis lanuginosa. Prune the plant in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead or weak stems and cut back the remaining stems to encourage new growth.Toxicity
Clematis lanuginosa is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain irritants that can cause skin irritation and gastrointestinal issues if consumed. Handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.Additional
To encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering, provide a support structure such as a trellis or arbor for the plant to climb. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
