This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.Fertilizer
Use 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 flowering.Repotting
Repot Clematis tangutica every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil mix to provide new nutrients.Propagation
Propagate Clematis tangutica through stem cuttings or layering in late spring or early summer. Ensure the cuttings have at least two nodes and plant them in a well-draining soil mix.Pruning
Prune the plant in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak stems and to encourage new growth. Regular pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and promotes better flowering.Toxicity
Clematis tangutica is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, some parts of the plant may cause mild skin irritation if handled excessively.Additional
