Clematis - very beautifully blooming lianas, which have long grown flower on their household plots. But novice lovers of various flowering plants Also, these lianas are planted in their garden, decorating the territory around the arbor or fence. But not everyone imagine how to properly care for various species Clematis in the autumn period, as well as how to prepare them to prepare them to the upcoming cold - after all, such procedures directly depends on how the flower will increase the autonomic mass, and bloom next season.

Types and varieties of clematis in the Urals

Herbatous perennials for the winter completely dry overhead part. Save only rhizome.

Politicians in the winter retain only part of the shoots, the top dies to the end of the vegetation. The lower part, where the branches have already been wedgered, is preserved. This type includes various forms of Clematis Borshevikol and solid.

Shrubs are distinguished by completely withdrawal branches that are beautifully winter. These include Clematis Shrub Bladed and Gangutsky.

Liana are fast-growing plants that need a support, as they have thin and brittle branches. This extensive group, whose cultivation is popular among gardeners.

Clematis seedlings for landing in the Urals

Further flowering plants, as well as its duration depends on the planting material.

By purchasing seedlings, you need to consider the following points:

1. A healthy planting material does not have mechanically damage.
2. A developed root system consists of five and more roots.
3. The autumn sapling should have several kidney shoots.
4. It is better to buy a sapling - mid-September.
5. When choosing a seedling, it is better to stay on a plant with a closed root system.

Care in autumn for clematis in the Urals

I have Clematis well develop. No effort is required for this. It suffices to comply with simple conditions.

Plant does not tolerate excess water. In the spring, I scream no more than 1 time per week (0.5 buckets of water on the bush), in the summer in the heat - 2-3 times a week (in the evening). And you can wear around the bushes a few pots with a hole in the day - filling them during watering water will slowly penetrate the soil deep into and moisturize the layer in which the roots of adult clemagi-owls are located, in the hot summer westing from thirst.

In the first year after landing, Clematis is not fertile. In subsequent years, feeding once a month before the appearance of the first flowers. I use or fertilizer from a flower store, or watering the water in which the raw salted meat was soaked. Nice results Showed the feeding fertilizer a strawberry concentrate.

In addition, to protect against diseases, an adult plant irrespose (in April-May) with a solution of chalk with the addition of copper sulfate: 500 g of chalk and 200 g of copper mosque on 15 liters of water (0.5 buckets of the composition on the bush).

Regularly thoroughly weeping a plot with Clematis. BUT the best way - Severe Klumba lawn grass. This also saves the roots from the sun and overheating. If the founding of Liana put a nail (calendula), they will protect Clematis from nematodes.

Watering Clematis in the Urals

Clematis is a moisture-loving plant, so it is necessary to ensure a regular and abundant irrigation to it. Optimal option It is watering once a week, and during the dry time the amount of irrigation can be increased to two. Approximately one adult plant should have 20-40 liters of water, and on a young - 10-15 liters.

Loosening and mulching clematis

Without mulch in a rival circle, Clematis need constant loosening. Usually this procedure is carried out once a week after watering to make the soil easier. In parallel, it is necessary to remove all weeds. To reduce these actions and reduce the number of appearing weeds, the rolling circle can be meditated by peat.

Clematis feeding in the Urals

The first feeding of this plant is made during the landing, when in the soil you add compost and superphosphate, sometimes you can use a dolomite flour. In the first years of life, Clematis should not throw fertilizers, and in subsequent periods, making feeding should be regular. During the active vegetation of Clematis, nitrogen fertilizers must be made, which contribute to the increasing foliage. During the formation of buds is better to use potash fertilizers, And after flowering, support phosphorus. Also in the spring you can use a solution of dolomite flour to prevent diseases. Before the onset of cold, adopt your Clematis with complex mineral fertilizer.

Support and Crossing Clematis

Create support is necessary before landing, since then you can damage root system. Support can be made independently of wire or thin metal tubes. Alternatively, special supports for these plants can be purchased in stores. It may be arches, pyramids or fan designs.

Crossing Clematis in autumn

Many flower products do not always trim Clematis according to the group. There are other types of trimming.

Plants are cut into several tiers in autumn. The procedure is carried out in this way:

Several shoots (no more than 4) are cut at the height of the meter from the soil.

Several shoots (no more than 4) are trimmed at the height of the half-meter from the soil.

Several shoots (no more than 4) cut into 2-3 kidneys from the soil.

The remaining shoots are cut under the root.

Those shoots left, carefully laid on the ground, and are torn. As a shelter for the winter, you can use the usual foliage or dried grass.

Sometimes the plants are cut completely for the winter. Such clematis is well meditated. The mulch layer is about 10-13 centimeters. After such a procedure, the boxes are installed on top, which in turn fall asleep with dry grass, sawdust and peat. And finally, the whole design is covered with a film. So that oxygen flows to the plant, small holes make. In such shelter, Zimovka Clematis is successful.

The reproduction of Clematis in the Urals

The reproduction of Clematis is possible in several ways: seeds and stalling, the division of the bush and gods. Among lovers' gardeners are popularly popular. To get new plants, near the royalties make several narrow grooves in which the stem escape needs to be mixed. Underground he is rooted. So for the season you can get more than a dozen young clematis. The other method has proven itself well - shilling out. The reproduction of cuttings is best carried out in the greenhouse.

The shoots are cut from healthy bushes at the age of about 3 years and planted in layout boxes. Landing is made in a lightweight substrate from a mixture of sand and peat. You can add perlite or other baking powder. The rooting occurs in about a month and a half. Care of cuttings is regular watering and spraying. Young Clematis can be planted in the soil in the spring. The easiest option is to reproduce the division of the bush. But this method has a significant disadvantage - a violation of the root system of the parent plant.

Preparation of Clematis for Winter in the Urals

Shelter clematis for the winter. By the autumn, Clematis are ripening and hardened. Therefore, with the right (deep) landing and good care They normally winter even at easy shelter.

At varieties that form flowers on last year's shoots, you need summer growths to save (first group trimming). To get rid of mushroom diseases, only leaves and dead parts of old or sick lien are removed.

Before the soil freezing, the base of the bush spray with 1% burglar liquid or 2% iron Municipality And at a height of 15 cm glue with sand, to which the ash is added (250 m-per sand bucket).

The shoots are sprayed with the same composition and flex, they are barefoot on top.

In areas where winter thaws are possible, a dry peat or sawdust is poured on top of spruce twigs and covered with polyethylene film. You can make wooden rails from the rings rolled by the rings, and to cover the film from above.

It is important that the air layer is. Clematis related to the second group of trimming is also covered.

Then they fall asleep with a layer of 20-25 cm peat, overwhelmed manure or sawdust (1-2 buckets on the plant) and are covered with film. Or just fall asleep with sand with ash, and then snow.

With such a shelter under the snow cover, Clematis is well winter. They can remove frost without loss of frost to 40 ° C, more dangerous for them thaw, replacing with a sharp cooling.

In the spring, the plant is freed from the shelter gradually. First remove polyethylene film, then the substrate layer. Popnik, part of the peat (or sand with ash) leave until the danger of night frosts passes. Then carefully raise shoots, evenly distributing them on the supports.

The soil over the center is carefully smoothed, leaving a layer of 5-8 cm.

These incredibly beautiful flowers in Russia came from Europe and, initially, were grown only in Orangers, because they were not prepared for such a harsh climate. Later, breeders corrected this disadvantage and brought a number of varieties with good frost resistance, but this did not take certain care requirements.

Therefore, each gardener of the middle strip (and even southern zones), acquiring Clematis, hesitates how to properly prepare a flower for winter so that the perennial does not become an annual plant.

This is a curly flower plant, it is woody. The young stems are very thin, easily deformed, but as "growing up" they become tougher, even gristed to the touch. However, this is characteristic not all the varieties of Clematis - there are grassy varieties. In addition, like most perennials of this type, it can be an evergreen plant, i.e. not dropping foliage even in the cold.

• Clematis attracts gardeners mainly from an aesthetic point of view: His shoots are easily increasing any support, so perfectly suitable for decorating walls, pipes, grids, arches, etc. However, it is suitable for cutting into bouquets.

Colors have a very pleasant fragrance, in which the notes of almonds and primroses can be distinguished, as well as light hints of jasmine. They attract their bright colors: a lilac, scarlet, pink, purple, blue is not the whole spectrum that Clematis can offer. It is noteworthy that on one shoot you can find flowers of both sexes, while they produce only pollen - without nectar.

In the growth phase, Clematis enters in spring when melting snow and air warms up to 5 degrees above zero, so the exact date varies depending on the region. Flowers on the shoots of last year are issued and developing in May, and on new - not earlier than the middle August. The duration of flowering does not exceed 20 days. The exceptions are bush grades that please the eyes from June to August: almost all summer.

• Bush Clematis is grown mainly at the flowerbeds, as well as in the alleys, although height, he can compete with the rest of the "relatives", since it is drawn up to 1 m. And in general, this parameter ranges between 8 cm and 12 m, so even a bush clematis can be taken to Wall design, but it often acts as an element of the composition.

Most bush grades have a blue-violet color, and small bells resemble small bells in the form of flowers. Exception - hybrids, in which breeders have achieved the length of the bell at 25 cm. On each shoot, 10 such colors growing are predominantly growing. The plant itself can be covered with them very thickly - approximately 150-200 pcs., Depending on the cultivation conditions.

In Russia, the following varieties of Clematis are mainly planted:

• Straight. It is not characterized by not the longest stems (about 1.5 m) and roots that go deep into half the meter. The bloom of this species is short, lasts only 2 weeks, and starts closer towards the end of May. Summer trim can stimulate repeated blossom in August. In natural habitats, wet areas prefers, the winter of the middle band is going through well, with sufficient snow and not too severe frosts in the shelter does not need.
• Borshicolous. The semi-stabbed plant of late flowering - at the end of summer, has unintended shoots (up to 90 cm), and also characterized by a very slow disclosure of petals. To the colds are relatively stable, the ground part is deprived of the leaves closer to October.
• Shrub. The winter is experiencing well, without even losing his shoots, if they are well covered. Foot shoots do not exceed 0.8 m, bloom begins in August. Classical gamut for its colors is purple and yellow.

It should be noted that gardeners often spend the classification of Clematis varieties over the size of colors, which is convenient when choosing suitable Plants Under certain tasks. For example, small-bedrooms can bloom in a whole summer, while large-flowered barely extended longer than 2 weeks.

If we talk about the varieties that were grown for the middle strip, they are mostly almost unpretentious, although they make some requirements. Clematis - good plant Even for an inexperienced gardener, but in need of attention. Several basic moments that will help you preserve the planted clematis until they reach the age of 25:

• The brightness of blurred flowers directly depends on the amount of the Sun, which can absorb Clematis, so professionals advise to plant this plant on a well-lit plot.
• The soil moisture must be medium, since any, even the most minimum, dryness will become destructive for the plant. However, it is impossible to pour Clematis constantly, since the roots are rotated: 4 buckets under adult bush and 2 - under young are the maximum values. If necessary (intimacy of groundwater) drain the soil.
• Regardless of the season (some gardeners make it in spring and autumn) the soil should be loosened, but not too deep. Good air exchange - important condition For the healthy state of Clematis.
• If you do not want the leaves and flowers to fly off from the winds of the wind, do not land this plant on the open area and do not place under the draft.
• Do not forget about the support - it needs almost all the varieties, excluding some intended for the flower. Young plants will demand in the first year of fixation with wire. If your selected grade blooms on the shoots of last year, the support must be permanent - i.e. For the next year it does not change.
• The most important thing to pay attention to is the type of root system: it is urine, therefore constant change of residence for it is unacceptable. If you intend to achieve perennial blossoms Clematis, you will have to find a way to give him back on the plot, where he sits, without digging and transferred to the basement, storage room, etc.

Most of the gardeners are interested in how to care for Clematis in the fall, as it is the beginning of preparation for wintering.

• Comprehensive is made mineral fertilizeror another version of feeding for flowers, but necessarily - without nitrogen.
• Additionally, under the roots are being added humid, mixed with ashes.
• The intensity of watering is reduced, especially if the autumn is cold, so as not to get root.
• At the end of flowering, pruning is made according to the type of plant.

At the same time, the preparation of shelter begins for those varieties that need it, which will be discussed a little later.

This procedure in the care of Clematis in the fall is considered one of the most important. Professionals advise to make it first before planting, then in July and before the onset of cold weather. At the same time, the choice of method depends on what kind of concrete plant belongs to. Gardeners are guided by the following simple scheme:

• Clematis, the bloom of which occurs on new shoots, in the autumn it is often not reset the petals, so their overhead part is completely cut off. There should be no more than 30 cm above the level of soil, which is equal to the pair of kidneys.
• If Clematis releases buds on the shoots of last year, by autumn he has already managed to completely complete the flowering period, or the second wave, which is not as active as the first. It is cut off selectively: the strong shoots need to be left, in order for the next year flowers formed on them, but to shorten up to 1 m. After them, it should be very gentially to come to the ground, since such Clematis needs shelter.
• Low and winter-hardy princes as such trimming almost do not require, excluding the prophylactic removal of weak, sick and dead shoots. The flowering of them occurs on the principle of the 2nd category. You do not need to remove them too, because In the shelter, they do not need - with these clematis, gardeners have the easiest way. However, they need to protect the roots, so it is necessarily performed.

At the same time, it is necessary to remember that after trimming under each Clematis, a bucket of humus is necessarily introduced, which will help him even in winter find a number of nutrients. If the pruning is made for the clematis of the first year of life, regardless of the group to which they belong to, shoots cut to the 2nd kidneys, i.e. Leaving only 25-30 cm above the Earth. Also every 4 years it is desirable to carry out the same complete trimming, too, for representatives of all groups. Classic term for this procedure is November.

This plant is very good to the shelter (the exception is only a few varieties), but it is impossible to use too dense material. The main problem with which gardeners are faced, which have decided to grow Clematis and force it to fall on the site - the preservation of the air exchange in that cocoon that the plant is enveloped. For this you can use the so-called. The "air-dry" method at which the wire frame is built, which does not hurt the remaining shoots. The film is thrown on it, or only. Less often take ruberoid, which is considered too dense for Clematis.

If you have a slight plant, or were cut to 2 kidneys, it is possible to make it easier and put on them a large wooden box, which also need to be protected by observer material from moisture. Some gardeners under such a "house" laid something that scares mice. Do not forget to pick up the edges of the covering material.

• Special requirements for the preparation for winter at Clematis Mountain Rose Rubens: It has very fragile colors, so without covering the kidney in the cold dies. Even in the regions with a mild climate, it is advisable to provide additional heat to this plant.

It must be said that before Clematis will be covered for the winter, the soil around it needs to be well meditated: leaves, branches, cut off, peat. For each bush - 3 buckets (approximately). It is important that the saddle is dry, otherwise it high humidity During the cold, it will negatively affect the state of Clematis roots. Very short shoots of good winter-hardy varieties can even be covered with the same mulch, without creating additional "buildings".

Clematis - a rare beauty plant, so that it is actively used in landscaping walls, facades, and just gardens. This liana is rather unpretentious - when proper care May please their owners two dozen years. And yet the preparation for the winter of Clematis, pruning and shelter for the winter of Clematis - the tasks that must be performed.

When to prepare Clematis for Winter?

Preparation of Clematis for Winter should be started since the end of summer. At this time, it is necessary to help the plants with phosphorus-potassium additives. Since light frosts, they carry well (-5 ... -7 degrees), then you should not start trimming and shelter in warm weather - give plants to harm the winter. Clematis shelter is better to start around November - when small frosts are installed.

Crossing Clematis for Winter

Pruning is exactly what formulates development, growth, abundance and duration of Clematis flowering. Moreover, the right crossing Clematis Reduces the possibility of infection with all sorts of diseases.

Different groups of Clematis need to trim differently. Therefore, be sure to check with the sellers, to which biological group it includes the Clematis chosen - this will help choose the proper agricultural engineering.

Trimming are:

- short (strong), when they leave 1-3 knots at the base of the plant;

- long (weak), when not less than 10 nodes leave;

- combinedWhen used and weak, and severe trimming.

To determine what kind clematis trimming Suitable for your plant, define with groups. There are six groups of Clematis:

Integrality

Vitelle

Jacmana

Florida

Lanuginosis

Short trimming Clematis

It is held for representatives of the first three groups: Jacmana, Vitella, Intergifolia. These plants have flowers formed predominantly on the shoots of the current year, that is, these clematis Winter It is not necessary to maintain - in the spring they grow new. Because of the ease of care, this group of semi-staple and herbaceous clematis most arrived in our areas: Blue Angel varieties, Venosa Violacea, Purpurea Plena Elegans, Teksa, Blue River.

As a rule, these clematics bloom from the middle of summer in September, frosts are easily transferred.

With severe trimming, you should leave a couple of kidneys from the ground - 1-3 nodes (15-20 cm). In these clematis for the winter You can save more nodes, then you can get earlier colors, but you can not completely trim the Clematis for the winter.

Long (weak) trimming Clematis

In groups of Clematis Florida, Patents and some representatives of Lanugosa, the kidneys of colors are laid on the shoots of the previous year in the fall. These include Frances Rivis, Markcham Pink, Pink Flamingo and others (the so-called "Principles"). This group can also be called winter hardy.

The shoots of these Clematis must be left, removing only the flashing part. The shoots are cut only in the case of a strong thickening of the bush, and even the weakest. With this type clematis trimming Left 10-15 nodes (at least 1 meter).

By the way, Clematis for the winter do not fall out of leaves. Therefore, you need to delete them in the fall - so that Liana looks neatly.

Combined trimming Clematis

Such a trimming of clematis for the winter is used for plants forming flowers both on the shoots of the past and current year. These are almost all representatives of the Lanuginosis group, some - Patenses and Florida and woolly Clematis. These varieties of Clematis, bloom occurs in two stages:

- on the shoots of last year (in late spring - early summer)

- on shoots of the current year (From the middle of the summer - before the beginning of the autumn).

Therefore, it is necessary to care for these clematis in two stages - the flashing part is removed in the summer, and directly before the shelter for the winter is pruning the shoots of the current year. Clematis are cut off depending on the bush thickening - stronger shoots are less, weaker - more.

Shelter clematis for the winter

After trimming, no less responsible stage occurs - shelter clematis for the winter. Before this, the root neck of plants should be treated for the prevention of diseases - either by a two-surround solution of copper sulfate, or a single-percent solution of burglar fluid.

Clematis shelter for winter can be carried out different ways. The plants to which a severe trimming was used is enough to glue dry ground, cover for the winter mulch (leaves, sweetheart) and film to protect against moisture.

For Clematis, which are poorly cut, better apply air-dry shelter. In this case, around the groaled land and rushes a mulch of shoots twisted by the ring, supports are put - columns of bricks, boards, etc. The support lies with the observer material - thick film, rubberoid or other suitable materials.

And, of course, the shelter of clematis for the winter will depend on how severe winters in your region.

It is not necessary to cover Clematis too early and too warm. With capricious winter, the plants may simply be strained and grown. Therefore, it is desirable to sometimes check the condition clematis Winter And give them to "breathe".

Clematis in the garden are often used for background and floristic compositions. Cleverly pick up the grade of this plant, you can get continuous garden blossom. Especially good large-flowered clematis, which traditionally decorate the arbors and walls of houses, pergolas and arches. To preserve heat-loving Liana in middle lane And in the northern regions it requires reliable shelter for the winter. Before this, the plant must pass full preparations for the recreation period, which includes pruning, feeding, preventive treatment of diseases and pests.

Today, the list of Clemats grown in culture is so great that it is difficult to talk about the winter hardiness of a particular variety. It is advisable to specify this moment when buying to know exactly how your liana will carry the cold. In addition, the endurance of Clematis depends on the region of cultivation. As a rule, plants with a complex form of flowers, "elite" origin are more capricious.

Old grades are more resistant to frosts than new, species plants winter is better than varieties.A group of Clematis, which for the winter is trimmed to short hemp, does not need shelter, since with the arrival of the next season, shoots grow again, their blossoms happening in the fresh increase. For insulation they are only plunged. Varieties that require saving escapes must be stolen. .

Clematis - plants sensitive to ripening and overgrowth of shoots and roots.This moment should also be taken into account when building a shelter. It must be dry and prevent ingestion of moisture, its function is to protect the plant not only from the cold, but also on possible icing with the subsequent rupture of the wood. At the same time, it follows to Lian in strictly defined deadlines.

When to hide at what temperature

While the foliage of Clematis is green, the plant is inappropriate. Nutrients are redistributed in the roots, Liana has not yet left the rest of the rest. As soon as the first frosts hit, the leaves will be buried. Now the favorable moment has come to create shelter. It is necessary to engage in this event when the onset of stable minus temperatures is on the occurrence of dry weather. It is believed that Clematis easily transfers frost to -5-7 degrees. Terms of observed activities depend on the specific region.

Suitable weather, in order to cover Clematis, comes in the suburbs and other regions of the middle strip in the first days of November. By this time, the temperature drops to -5-6 degrees, the drainage of the upper layers of soil begins. At this point, the final warming of Liana for wintering.

Previously, after the first October frosts, the plants are plunge into a height of 10-15 cm to protect the roots from freezing. With such a light shelter of Clematis, it is easy to rain solid protection from the cold in November.

In the Urals, weather conditions often change dramatically. To predict the onset of sustainable frosts is quite difficult. It is necessary to approximately cover Clematis in this climatic zone 2 weeks earlier than in the middle lane of Russia, that is, in mid-October.

Do not do this if it rains on the street, and the temperature has not yet reached a minus mark. Once the average daily temperature indicator will be -5 degrees, it can be started towards the construction of shelter. The best for this area will be frame option, providing dry wintering and the presence of an air layer.

In Siberia, minus temperatures can come already in the first decade of October. At this moment, it will be necessary to cover Clematis. For cultivation in this climatic zone, only early varieties. The shoots of late Clematis simply will not have time to grow to the onset of cold weather and suffer during wintering. It would seem that a harsh climate requires a more solid shelter. In fact, the flowers are perfectly winter under the snow, which in Siberia in the winter there is a lot. Here, as well as in the Urals, the best carcass shelter with a solid roof, which will endure the weight of the snowy mass.

Tip! If, after the frosty winter, the bush did not come to himself, and you got the impression that he died, do not rush to dig and throw out Clematis. There are often cases when the plant produces new shoots from sleeping vegetative kidneys, 2-3 years after complex wintering.

The climate of the Leningrad region is distinguished by unpredictability, which is due to the constant change of atmospheric fronts. In general, the weather here can be described as a cooler and rainy than in the middle of Russia. In winter, severe frosts can be changed by thaws.

In such conditions, it is very important to provide Clematis dry wintering. The base of the bush is falling asleep with dry sand or land, creating a holmik. Discontinued with supports should be put on the base, the boards, boards or pieces of polyfoam can be used. The wooden shields with supports around the edges are stacked on top of the shoulders to shoot Clematis freely.

The latter fit insulating layer From rubberoid, nonwoven material or film with vents done by ventilation holes. If there is a need for vertical shelter, pegs are ripped around the bush, which are tightly incinerated by rubberoid or several layers of nonwoven material.

On a note! Given the climate of the Leningrad region in winter, it is necessary to periodically transfer the shelter to air.

Preparation for shelter

Including a number of events. Already in August, nitrogen stimulating active vegetation should be excluded from the feeding. Escapes should start risen. In the first half of autumn, Liana continue to water if there are no rain. Closer to the shelter plants need to trimmed, feeding and treating from pests - all these actions will help finally prepare a bush to winter.

In its purpose, pruning can be sanitary, rejuvenating and forming. In the autumn for Clematis, it is customary to combine all these types of trimming. The procedure follows 2 weeks before the onset of frosts. After that, the plant should recover before the start of observing events.

For Clematis of the first year of life, regardless of the variety, exist general rules Trimming: The shoots are shortened at an altitude of 20-30 cm, leaving at least 3 kidneys on each of them. Such a trim will allow the young bug to release the spring many side shoots and form a lush crown.

Adult Clematis is cut depending on the type to which they belong. In total, it is possible to distinguish 3 groups of Lian, the bloom of which takes place on shoots of different ages:

1. At varieties blooming on last year's gains, only patients and damaged shoots are completely cut out, and the rest of the vacuum shock up to 1.5-meter length. This group includes such well-known varieties like Cardinal Rouge, Hegli Haybrid, Turucin.
2. Some Clematis bloom in one season twice. In the first wave, the flowers bloom on the shoots of last year, and a little later, bloom begins on fresh young shoots. For them there is a special trimming technique: shoots cut through one, leaving long branches with a length of 1.2 m and short hemps with 2-3 kidneys. Due to such a reception, the flowering bush will look beautiful and neatly, forming inflorescences at about the same level. This group includes grades: Minister, Flower Ball, Fair Rosamund, Dawn and others.
3. There are also varietal varieties that bloom exclusively on the shoots of this year. They are cut at an altitude of 20-30 cm or very close to the ground, leaving only 2 kidneys. You can especially not care about wintering such clematis. Among the popular plants of this group: Vitellela, integrality, jacma.

If it is unknown to which class your Clematis belongs to, leave it to winter with shoots. In the spring, the plant will show itself. According to that, steel with dry or remained viable, it will be possible to determine the type of liana. No matter what type of trimming needs your Clematis, it is necessary to remove all the dry leaves and dried down. After cleaning the bush, plant residues better burn.

If the soil has been good before boarding Clematis, then the first feeder is carried out after 3 years. In the poor earth, it is necessary to nail Lian in the fall in the year of planting. At the beginning of September, the bush is made by compost or humus, as well as phosphorus-potash fertilizer. On one adult plant spent up to 10 kg of organics. Mineral substances can be given as a solution or in granules. The feeding should be entered into a wet land so as not to burn roots.

Fertilizers will help strengthen the roots and increase the immunity of Clematis, to fill the supply of nutrients after abundant flowering.Before the shelter, it will be useful to apply wood ash under the base of the bush and how it should be tamped along with the soil. For one instance of Clematis, 0.5 kg of coarse fertilizer will be required.

Some daches mistakenly believe that Clematis is enough for one spring preventive treatment from diseases and pests. In fact, although the shoots remain without leaves under the shelter, Liana can get a fungal disease due to high humidity.

In addition, the disputes of the fungus and the larvae of harmful insects are often winter in the upper layers of the soil, and the spring is chosen out and attack young shoots. Therefore, it is better not to neglect the autumn spraying of the bush and the processing of the soil. It does not take much time, but will help to keep the plant health. Verified I. effective means For processing are considered:

• 1 percent Bordeaux liquid;
• 3 percent solution of iron vapor;
• fundazole preparation.

They are processed after Clematis's scrap will be cut and vegetable garbage is assembled under the bush. The remnants of processing agents are poured into a rolling circle to disinfect the soil. Spraying need to be carried out in dry weather.

How to protect Clematis Clematis

To the question of the wintering of Clematis, it is necessary to approach individually, given not only the climatic zone, but also the need for a particular plant in insulation. An adult, a fairly winter bush can be covered directly on the support, but just in case such plants are emphasized higher (at a height of 40 centimeters). In this case, even if the screens are freezed, the root and roasting area of \u200b\u200bthe plant will continue, which will give him the opportunity to recover.

Young bush

Young Clematis always require more concerns than mature and strong. The shoots of young Liana in conditions of a minor winter can freeze even with minor frosts. Experienced gardeners Usually use one of the following ways to insulate young Clematis:

1. Plants that subjected to severe trimming are first dipped, and then coated with a mulching layer of dry leaves or fabrics. From above, the construction is covered with a film to protect against moisture. During thaws, the film shelter is lifted from the sides for venting.
2. Another way implies the use of inverted flower Gorshkovwhich covered bushes after trimming. A layer of pine needles, sawdust or wood chips pouter over the shelter, and after the first snowfalls throw the resulting snow mass.
3. The easiest option is to highly enhance the Clematis trimmed with a peat, humus or compost. Before using the organics, the bush and the soil near it are necessarily treated with foundazole to protect against fungal diseases.

It is the first wintering that is the decisive and most difficult for the plant.In the future, adapting to the local climate, Liana will be more resistant to unfavorable conditions.

Proper shelter of Clematis before winter: video

What Clematis can not be covered

Often newbies are afraid of thermal-loving crops due to the need to strengthen them and the concerns do something wrong. They can advise one thing - not to start the original varietal clematis in the care.

For inexperienced dachants, the plants of the 3rd group of trimming, blooming on the shoots of the current year. On the eve of the frosts of the leaves of the plant briefly cut and plunge dry ground. The advantages of these Clematis include not only the simplicity of care. Such varieties are not at all inferior to their more capricious relatives in the ability to decorate the garden with plentiful flowering, and sometimes exceed them.

Frequent mistakes of flower water

The cultivation of spectacular Lian sometimes causes disputes from gardeners about agrotechnology techniques. Nevertheless, there are a number of actions that are without doubt that all experienced dacms and specialists are erroneous:

• Some forget to make a dip, meanwhile this procedure is very important. Even if Clematis was remarkably covered and did not suffer from frosts in winter, in the spring time he can die because of the stagnation of melt water near the roots. It is possible to warn it in the fall under each bush on the bucket of humus or compost. Cut the mog from the bush after the snow will finally come down.
• In addition to diseases and harmful insects, Clematis may be threatened with mice in the winter. Having built the framework for insulation, the gardener gives rodents an excellent opportunity to build nests inside the shelter, sprinkling for this twig of Clematis, in the spring it can expect a sad picture. Since such an opportunity cannot be eliminated, inside the frame structures, it is necessary to put a poisoned bait, then your Clematis will definitely remain unharmed.
• Sometimes, wanting to make sure that Clematis was well transferred to wintering, the owner of the site is impatiently and not too neatly sharpens the soil at the base of the bush. As a result, fragile young shoots growing out of the ground are damaged, and the plant ceases its growth, later putting the backup kidney. Cut off the soil shrub is very slow and carefully.
• Often the cause of the weak growth of Clematis becomes an incorrect landing. If during the first 3-4 years, new shoots almost do not grow, it means that the plant did not block the way it is recommended by specialists. You can correct the situation by adding a layer of 8-10 cm to the base of the bush. But it is better, yet, to transplant the plant in all the rules.

It was the wrong wintering that most often becomes the cause of the death of Clematis. Although this plant is very vitality and can be revived even years later, you should not feel it on endurance. Spend the necessary preparation in the fall and correctly cover your Clematis, so that he can please you with his bloom. Do not forget also about spring carewhich includes timely watering and feeding, then the luxurious liana will present you only pleasant surprises.

Preparation of Clematis for Winter - the current question of the dachank in the autumn period, because Clematis is a fairly popular flower plant grown by many gardeners in open soil. Since Clematis refers to the family of thermal-loving Lian, then the care requires the appropriate. This applies to winter periodWhen Clematis must be pre-providing proper training so that it does not only survive in minus temperatures, but also began to actively blossom in spring.

Preparation of Clematis for Winter: We select trimming time

Preparation of Clematis to wintering is important element Care to which must be taken carefully and fulfill completely and correctly. The preparation process consists of several stages:

1. Trimming.
2. Treatment.
3. Insulation.

It is necessary to start the implementation of these stages in advance, preferably at the end of August - early September, to have time to spend all the preparatory activities, and do it qualitatively.

Crossing Clematis for Winter

Pruning is an important part of the care for any plant, especially for Clematis. It is the competent trimming that allows the proper and full development of the root system, which will continue to give abundant flowering of Clematis, in which, in fact, is his task, because we use it as a decoration of the country and the donor site.

According to the functional purpose, Clematis trimming is divided into:

• Sanitary (removal of dried branches and branches with defects so that they do not interfere with the further development of the flower);
• Forming (trimming, carried out in order to improve growth and increase the flowering of Clematis);
• Winter (trimming, contributing to the best wintering plants, protecting it from freezing).

In this particular case, we are interested in winter trimming, the purpose of which is not only to preserve Clematis for the next spring-summer season, but also create conditions for it for full growth, development and abundant, healthy blossom.

Clematis - a flower, which does not occur with independent leaves of the leaves in the fall. These leaves need to be overtaking manually, otherwise they will remain wintering on branches, and in the spring it will not be a very pleasant sight. Removal is dried, old, injured leaves on wintering raids.

As for the pruning directly, its degree depends in many respects from the plant variety, from its belonging to any group. But not always Clematis requires trimming - they do not touch him if he blooms on the shoots of last year. If Clematis is just a year, then the pruning is turning completely all the plant, no more than 30 cm should be left over the ground.

In the Ecosad project for all, we have already explained in detail about the features of landing and care for clematis, depending on the group, which includes a specific variety. But it will not be superfluous to recall that the trimming intensity is as follows:

Clematis Care for Winter

An important part of Clematis care in the autumn period is its processing, which should occur before the shelter. It includes:

• Sufficient watering plants in front of winter. The abundance of moisture reader depends on the grade of Clematis and, of course, the autumn weather.
• Plipping of plant wood ash (especially the roasting zone).
• Treatment of all Clematis and soil near the plant by biofungicides from fungal diseases. Some gardeners use copper-containing compositions for this. But from year to year to copper mushrooms can be adapted, so microbiological drugs are used in the practice of natural agriculture, such as phytosporin-m, Fitop Flora-C, EM. By the way, this processing is advised to be carried out in the spring, after the shelter is removed - it contributes to a faster recovery and growth of the plant after the winter.
• The dip, which must be carried out with dry ground with the addition of peat, humoring, compost. They dip Clematis to a height of at least 30-40 cm.

All these additional measures are good advocates of the plant from frost, and provide the correct development of Liana in postzymia.

How to cover clematis for the winter

Clematis's shelter should occur in the fall (in the last days of October, or the very beginning of November) in obligatory. In general, everything is very similar to the preparation of grapes by winter, with the only difference that Clematis is covered later. The plant is not afraid and calmly worries the first light freezes, but it is still not worth tightening with this process. With low-snowy winter, Clematis is susceptible to freeze shoots, so shelter should devote more time and attention.

The shelter is fully fulfilled after all additional procedures (trimming and processing). Shelter technology is different and depends on many factors. At the same time, materials such as branches, weathered peat, light lumber, dry foliage, some artificial materials are used. Best of all, if there is still a dry ground on the insulation, and provide a sufficient layer of snow.

Important! Warming should not be dense, allowing the plant to "breathe", that is, it should provide some air access. Otherwise, you can face that Clematis will simply straighten.

The quality and principle of the shelter of the plant depends on its variety, as well as how bloom occurs:

• If Clematis blooms on the shoots of last year, the shelter technology depends on the level of its frost resistance. As a rule, varieties that have increased cold resistance are common and therefore well winter right on the supports. Such Clematis is mandatory perpetrated that it protects the root system of the plant even if it is extinctioned. The dipping should be at a height of at least 40 cm using a dry ground.
• If Clematis blooms on the shoots and past, and this years, then after trimming, the flower shoots are not allowed to be removed from the supports and scatter. Plugging is carried out in the same way as in the previous version. Then the closed climbing of Clematis should be carefully wrapped in the ring and placed on the ground, while sprinkled with dry foliage. On this shelter process does not end - it is necessary to perform a double insulation of Clematis using non-woven materials (Loutrasil, agrovolokna, etc.).
• If Clematis blooms on the shoots of the current year (the colors of these varieties are most common in our country, since they are distinguished by unpretentious), then after the trimming of its weaves, it is necessary to carry out only a dip.

Clematis: Preparation for Winter in the first year

The shelter technology of young Clematis for the winter is quite simple, based on our practice, you can recommend the following:

1. The young Clematis, which in the autumn has undergone severe trimming, should be covered first with a layer of branches, and then layer of polyethylene, which will protect the plant from unnecessary moisture. Before the shelter, it is sure to plunge the dry ground.
2. The low Clematis of the current year can be covered by large flower potsAnd on top of them arrange the shelter from the facoth, chips or sawdust.

We are stacked and coated with Clematis pretty late - after grapes and blackberries, when the first snow comes down, and the main planting-transplants are completed. For your zone, it is possible to better navigate for more early time. And if you perform all the stages of preparation of Clematis for Winter correctly and fully, the flower will delight you next season with plentiful, healthy and beautiful blossoms.
