Finally, it is necessary to moisten the soil.

Most of the plants of this variety do not need constant earthing up of the soil, they are not picky about care. Sometimes, when the area on which clematis grows is already covered in weed grass, it is worth cleaning up, walking with a rake or a hoe along the ridge in order to stir up the roots and give the soil air.

Such a plant is whimsical to moisture, so you need to constantly water the soil, and if you do not do this, then the buds will be dry, small and not fully blossomed, and somewhere they will disappear altogether.

2. The second composition is a type of clematis in which last year's petals are cut off at the first inflorescence, and in the fall the stems of the current season are cut off.
3. The third composition - this type of clematis is like this, or it is cut off in total, or the stem is left fifteen or twenty centimeters from the soil. Also, this composition includes plants that themselves dry up and die. These are not necessary for cutting, they are taken out of the ground by hand, I do not use any special tools.
