Clematis Summer Breeding Methods and Precautions
A brief knowledge of experience, introducing you to the breeding methods and precautions of clematis in summer and the tips for maintaining green plants, next our site editor will introduce to you.
When it comes to vine flowers, many people's first impression is morning glory, epipremnum and other qualities. But there is a kind of flower, its climbing ability is particularly strong, easy to maintain, the flowers are unique and elegant, pleasing to the eye. This flower is known as the "vine queen" - clematis. Clematis in summer is relatively difficult to maintain, there are "three taboos", only by avoiding them can it safely pass the summer.
Taboo One: Soil Acid and Unbreathable
Most flowering plants, such as gardenia, azalea, camellia,米兰 and other plants, prefer acidic or slightly acidic soil. But clematis is an exception, it prefers slightly alkaline soil. If it is planted in acidic soil, it may affect its growth.
Therefore, when we mix soil for clematis, we generally do not add pine needle soil, fruit skin and other acidic substances. Especially now it is summer, entering the dormant period, if using acidic fertilizers, it may directly lead to the death of the plant.
Next is the problem of the looseness of the soil. In our maintenance process, the nutrients in the soil will gradually be exhausted, the structure will be gradually destroyed, and the phenomenon of hardening into blocks will appear. Or the soil used for planting is too heavy, after watering, the water cannot be drained quickly, and these two types of soil in summer are prone to form a hot and unbreathable environment in the pot, leading to root rot.
Soil Mixing Method
If the current potting soil of clematis is not very good, it is recommended to change the soil for it, which is easier to safely pass the summer. When mixing soil, you can use nutrient soil, coconut bran, and perlite, these three substances to maintain nutrients, moisture, and ventilation, in the ratio of 6:2:3, and then add a small amount of sheep manure.
Taboo Two: Intense Sunlight
Although clematis is a sun-loving plant, it still avoids the strong sun in summer. Generally, in spring and autumn, when the temperature is not high and the sunlight is not severe, there is no problem to bask in the sun. But in summer, the UV radiation is the strongest season of the year, and the leaves can easily be burned by the strong sun, affecting the growth in autumn.
Therefore, we must pay special attention to shading in summer maintenance. Outdoor ground planting should choose an environment like under the tree shade. Potted plants can be moved to a cool place. Sprinkle water around the plant to lower the ambient temperature.
Taboo Three: Over-fertilization
Don't look at the fast growth of clematis, large flowers, actually not very fond of fertilizer. The concentration and frequency of fertilization cannot be too high, especially in summer. In summer, the weather is hot, if the fertilizer concentration is too high, it is easy to burn the seedlings. In summer, just use a thin fertilizer once every half a month is enough, light fertilizer can, be sure to avoid concentrated fertilizer.
The above introduces the specific content of clematis summer breeding methods and precautions, and tips for cultivating clematis, for everyone to refer to the operation.
