How to feed clematis

Clematis requires a lot of nutrients, due to the fact that it blooms a lot and for a long time, and also updates almost the entire aboveground part of the plants every year. But it is important to remember that the concentration of mineral fertilizers should not be high - bring them in small portions.

Mineral and organic fertilizers must be alternated. Clematis must be watered well before fertilizing.

Clematis are fed depending on the development phase of the plant, but not more than 4 times per season.

In September, during preparation, add bone meal (200 g / m2) to the soil. The fact that it contains phosphorus is very necessary clematis.

Without it, the leaves will begin to grow brown, the roots and shoots develop poorly.

You can also make up to 24 kg of humus for each clematis bush just before planting.

Nitrogen is needed by the plant during its growth. Due to the lack of nitrogen, shoots of clematis may decrease, the leaves turn yellow, take on a reddish tint, the flowers will be small, with poor coloration. Organic fertilizers are used for this type of feeding: slurry (1:10), bird droppings (1:15).

Organic fertilizers need to alternate with mineral: ammonium nitrate, nitroammofoska or urea (15 g / 10 l).

Potassium will promote the beautiful flowering of your plant. Blackened peduncles and pedicels, the lightened color of flowers indicate a lack of potassium. In the spring, use potassium nitrate, in August - potassium sulfate. Dilute in 10 l 20 - 30 g.

During flowering, feeding is stopped. By feeding a plant during this period, you risk reducing the flowering period.

Top dressing in spring

Feeding in the spring produce no more than two times a month.

After regrowth of shoots, it is time to first feed. Clematis during this period is best suited foliar spraying with a weak solution of synthetic urea (up to 3 g per liter of water).

It is best to spray in the evening or cloudy weather. Moisture will last longer, and the fertilizer is better absorbed.

For the prevention of disease, 50 g of copper sulfate can be diluted and the bush should be poured with a solution at the base.

Water the clematis in the spring no more than once a week, but try to get the water to the roots of the plant (the clematis roots reach 1 m in length). Experienced gardeners use humus during watering.

Clematis Fertilizers

Before planting clematis, the soil can be fertilized with the organic omu drug, “Omu Universal”, which will not only feed the plant, but also retain moisture inside the soil.

Mix the fertilizer itself with the soil and then pour the clematis roots with it.

During clematis transplantation, you can use the drug "Zircon", which will help the plant get used to the new habitat. Only use this drug must be strictly according to the instructions.

To prevent diseases, spray the soil under a bush with a foundation in early spring or late autumn (20 g per 10 l).

During active development and growth of clematis, process the soil under a bush with a fungicide. On one bush use 3 - 4 liters. This will protect the plant directly from the fungus. The procedure is carried out 2 to 3 times every 14 days.

So, if we systematize all of the above, we can draw the following conclusions:

• Clematis can be fed no more than 4 times per season;
  
• if during planting you used special fertilizers for the soil, you do not need to feed clematis in this year;
  
• There are various fertilizers for different phases of plant development. They can either be purchased at a store or made by yourself;
  
• As a preventive measure against various diseases, special drugs can be purchased at the store.

• Organic dressing you can cook yourself using weeds. To do this, weed the plants with water and insist week. Use the solution half diluted with water;
  
• watering clematis, try to get water only on the roots of the plant. After watering - loosen the soil;
  
• before fertilizing a plant, it is imperative to get rid of weeds;
  
• after 7 years, water may not reach the roots of clematis, and the plant may die. In order for this not to happen, dig a pot with a drilled bottom close to the plant. When watering clematis pots will also be filled with water, which will penetrate to the roots;
  
• ornamental grass or stunted flowers can be planted near the roots of the plant - this will protect the root clematis system from overheating;
  
• during frequent rains, cover the lower part of the plant with wood ash. Do this after every rain - this will prevent the roots from rotting;
