1. Plant Characteristics
Clematis is not heat nor cold tolerant. If you want to plant it, you must avoid the hot summer and the cold winter to prevent the plant from drying up due to excessive heat or getting frostbitten due to extreme cold.

Clematis not only has requirements for planting time but also for the soil. Clematis prefers soil with humus and, like most plants, prefers slightly acidic soil. Therefore, when choosing soil for planting clematis, these two points should be noted.
3. Watering
Clematis is not drought-resistant and needs to be watered once a day, but not too much to avoid积水 in the pot, which can lead to soil isolation from oxygen, causing root rot or even plant death. It is important to note that during the hot summer, the frequency of watering should be increased appropriately. If the amount of water is not well controlled, a spray bottle can be used to spray water on the plant to keep it moist. In winter, the soil can be relatively dry, watering once every 7 days is sufficient.
