On the site site, there was a post aboutbreeding clematisBut the method of propagation of clematis by lignified cuttings, which will be considered now, is completely different. Please read carefully and see the differences.
Of all the methods for propagating clematis, rooting with lignified cuttings is the most optimal, but also the most difficult, with the exception of the method of propagating clematis by grafting (I’ll write it somehow).
Cuttings are taken in autumn, which is necessary condition care for clematis, promotes the awakening of dormant buds in the spring, improves the growth and development of plants. But the rooting of such cuttings is difficult, because in autumn the plant prepares for deep dormancy and its growth is inhibited. In order for the cuttings of kkematis to go through a dormant period, they are stored certain period(I store until March), at a low temperature.
Lignified cuttings of clematis should have one or two nodes. Be sure to treat them with plant growth stimulants. The solution is poured into glass, porcelain or enameled dishes and clematis cuttings are lowered there, tied in bunches of 20-25 pieces. so that the solution does not get on the kidneys.
If powder is used, the lower end is first dipped in distilled water, then in powder. For processing lignified cuttings clematis the following stimulants are used: 0.05% heteroauxin, 0.05% β-indolylbutyric acid, 0.03% y-3-indolylbutyric acid, 0.03% α-naphthylacetic acid together with 0.005% -m kinetin in powder form; for cooking a solution of 200-250 mg of heteroauxin, 50-70 mg of β-indolylbutyric acid, 50 g of α-naphthylacetic acid is dissolved in 1 liter of water.
Processing time 15-24 hours. For processing, the concentration and processing time should be half as much. For amateurs, purchased heteroauxin or root is quite suitable.
Processed cuttings of lignified clematis are planted obliquely in boxes in a mixture of peat and sand (1:1 or 2:1) so that the lower end is 3 cm deep and the upper end is 1 cm deep. The boxes are placed in a cool place, the substrate must be moist .
In March, as soon as etiolated shoots appear, they are brought into the greenhouse, where the temperature is gradually increased to 15 ° C, after 3 weeks - up to 20 ° C. Watered as needed. When young shoots reach 10 cm, they are pinched, which promotes rooting.
After 90 days roots are formed (average rooting percentage 80%). The boxes are transferred to a greenhouse, watered and fertilized with a full mineral fertilizer(0.10-0.15 g / l of water).
In winter, when stored in boxes or in a pit, greenhouses are covered. The next spring, clematis cuttings are planted in pots or on ridges. By autumn, plants can be planted on permanent place.
Amateur gardeners and professional gardeners Special attention pay such an important process as the propagation of clematis by cuttings. It is this method that makes it possible to obtain a few more copies of your favorite plant variety. The process is quite easy and fast, given some important points and tips. When cuttings are successful, beautiful young clematis grow.
Propagation of clematis by cuttings at different times of the year
Obtaining new clematis bushes can be carried out all year round: spring and autumn, winter and summer.
Cuttings of clematis in autumn
At autumn pruning clematis, well-ripened and long shoots (about a meter long) are selected. They need to be twisted into a ring and buried in loose, moist soil (about 10 centimeters). This part of the soil will take on a crust after some time. Once this has happened, sprinkle the clematis with a layer of foliage.
By the end of summer, a young clematis bush will grow. It is important to ensure that the earth does not dry out.
Attention to the temperature regime is necessary for the plant to take well.
Winter cuttings of clematis
For winter cuttings, the use of stiff branches is typical. This is necessary in order to increase the chance of survival of cuttings in a cold winter period when sunlight contains fewer nutrients.
The cutting should be small (less than twenty centimeters) so that it is convenient to make a small greenhouse for it. This will provide young plant warmth and moderate humidity.
Cuttings are less likely to be accepted, more care is required.
Reproduction of clematis cuttings in spring
To get cuttings, you need to cut off a shoot from a bush with a length of at least 70 centimeters. Top part branches are not needed, since this is the unripened part of the shoot, the buds in the axils of the leaves are not laid here.
It is best to take cuttings from the middle part, which do not have large green sprouts.
When cutting cuttings, about 7 centimeters are left. After that, the cuttings are placed in a solution of heteroauxin or root for half an hour. This stimulates the appearance of the root system. This makes propagation of clematis by cuttings more efficient.
The earth can be loosened, add humus, so that the earth is fertile and soft. A groove is created, spilled with water. After the water has been partially absorbed, the hole is partially covered with earth. Cuttings are inserted there up to the very sprouts.
How to properly cut clematis cuttings:
- Use a sharp knife. can crush and damage delicate, thin twigs. sharp knife will not damage the cuttings.
- Cut at a 45 degree angle. You need to cut the shoot obliquely, ideally, at an angle of 45 degrees. With the help of such pruning, the area of \u200b\u200bthe appearance of the roots increases.
- Step back 1.5 centimeters. For successful cutting of cuttings, you need to retreat 1.2 - 2 centimeters from the knot.
Cuttings are well accepted from both old and young bushes.
How clematis propagates by cuttings in summer
Propagation of this plant is very simple. There is no need to use additional materials.
When cuttings, half or a third of the leaf should be cut off, since it is in summer that large leaves bloom at clematis.
A video about clematis cuttings in the summer will tell you many important points that you should listen to and see with your own eyes. The video has a lot of tips on proper care behind the plant. Especially a lot of nuances during summer period. It is necessary to ensure that the cuttings do not dry out, like the ground in which they are located. 
Cuttings are going well. By the next season, young and beautiful clematis grow.
Propagation of clematis by cuttings in water
This method follows a similar principle.
It is worth considering a few important factors, which prevent possible errors (rotting of cuttings):
- Clean container. It is very important that the container in which the cuttings will grow is perfectly clean. This is the main mistake, after which the cuttings deteriorate and rot.
- Quality cut. An even and neat cut is a guarantee of a well-developing root system. A bad cut can ruin the plant.
For work, a sharp tool is used.
If you are interested in the question of how to grow clematis from cuttings, then there is one good advice.
When rooting, the plants secrete a fluid that contains natural root-forming substances. If the gardener has grown cuttings in water before, then it is good to add liquid from previous cuttings to new plants. This reduces the time of formation of calus and the first grooves of the roots.
As soon as the root grooves appear, the plant can be transplanted into the ground, or you can wait until it grows a full-fledged root.
The stalk is transplanted into a small container, which needs to be covered with something on top to create an airtight package. You can take a bottle, cut it into two parts, plant a cutting in one of which, and make small cuts from the bottom on the second (thanks to this, you can combine the bottles with each other). This is how clematis propagates by cuttings in water.
A small depression is made in the ground (you do not need to put the cutting directly into the ground so as not to damage the calus), where clematis is then placed.
It is desirable to keep the plant at a temperature of 22 ° C, since at a lower temperature the roots either do not grow at all, or grow slowly.
Propagation of clematis by layering
Among gardeners, a favorite way to increase the number of plants is to propagate clematis by layering. Unlike cuttings, this method gives one hundred percent results, requires less effort.
A branch is taken, part of which is buried in the ground (attached with a hairpin or other fastener so that it does not fly away).
This method is good because the mother branch will feed the bush with fashion until it is strong enough to become independent. From the mother, the layering receives all the necessary nutrients, trace elements. But this does not mean that the bush itself does not need to be fertilized. He needs the same care as his brothers: sufficient watering and good feeding.
Reproduction of clematis by green cuttings has several important features. This method seems to be quite simple. Even a novice gardener will cope with it, but despite this experienced gardeners also prefer to breed clematis cuttings.
This method has a number of advantages:
- Cost-effectiveness. With the help of cuttings, you can grow a new plant for free. Seeing a beautiful clematis from a neighbor or friend, you can ask him for a cutting. Then you can grow exactly the same plant in your own. This saves both time and money.
- Quantity and quality. Taking cuttings good varieties, you will grow a plant identical to those from which the fence was taken. At proper cultivation cuttings, you can grow a whole garden without buying a single bush or flower.
Our grandmothers, growing strawberries, or strawberries, as we used to call them, were not particularly worried about mulching. But today this agricultural practice has become fundamental in achieving High Quality berries and reduce crop losses. Some might say it's troublesome. But practice shows that labor costs in this case pay off handsomely. In this article, we invite you to get acquainted with the nine the best materials for mulching garden strawberries.
Succulents are very versatile. Despite the fact that “kids” have always been considered more fashionable, the assortment of succulents with which you can decorate modern interior, it is worth taking a closer look. After all, colors, sizes, patterns, degree of pricklyness, influence on the interior are just a few of the parameters by which you can choose them. In this article, we will talk about the five most fashionable succulents that surprisingly transform modern interiors.
Mint was used by the Egyptians as far back as 1.5 thousand years BC. It has a strong aroma due to great content various essential oils with high volatility. Today, mint is used in medicine, perfumery, cosmetology, winemaking, cooking, ornamental gardening, and the confectionery industry. In this article, we will consider the most interesting varieties of mint, and also talk about the features of growing this plant in open ground.
People began to grow crocuses 500 years before the advent of our era. Although the presence of these flowers in the garden is fleeting, we always look forward to the return of the heralds of spring in next year. Crocuses - one of the earliest primroses, whose flowering begins as soon as the snow melts. However, the timing of flowering may vary depending on the species and varieties. This article focuses on the earliest varieties of crocuses that bloom in late March and early April.
Shchi from early young cabbage in beef broth is hearty, fragrant and easy to prepare. In this recipe, you will learn how to cook delicious beef broth and cook light cabbage soup with this broth. early cabbage it cooks quickly, so it is placed in the pan at the same time as the rest of the vegetables, unlike autumn cabbage, which takes a little longer to cook. Ready cabbage soup can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. Real cabbage soup is tastier than freshly cooked.
Looking at the variety of varieties of tomatoes, it is difficult not to get confused - the choice is very wide today. Even experienced gardeners he is annoying sometimes! However, it is not so difficult to understand the basics of selecting varieties “for yourself”. The main thing is to understand the peculiarities of culture and start experimenting. One of the easiest tomato groups to grow are varieties and hybrids with limited growth. They have always been appreciated by those gardeners who do not have much time and energy to care for the beds.
Once very popular under the name of room nettle, and then forgotten by everyone, coleuses today are one of the brightest garden and indoor plants. They are not in vain considered stars of the first magnitude for those who are looking primarily for non-standard colors. Easy to grow, but not so undemanding as to suit everyone, coleus require constant supervision. But if you take care of them, bushes of velvety unique leaves will easily outshine any competitor.
Salmon backbone baked in Provence herbs is a “supplier” of delicious pieces of fish pulp for a light salad with fresh wild garlic leaves. Mushrooms are lightly fried in olive oil, and then poured over apple cider vinegar. Such mushrooms are tastier than ordinary pickled ones, and they are better suited for baked fish. Ramson and fresh dill coexist perfectly in one salad, emphasizing the flavor of each other. Garlic sharpness of wild garlic will saturate both the flesh of salmon and pieces of mushrooms.
Conifer tree or a shrub on the site is always great, and a lot of conifers is even better. Emerald needles of various shades decorate the garden at any time of the year, and phytoncides and essential oils, secreted by plants, not only flavor, but also make the air cleaner. Generally, most zoned adults coniferous plants, are considered very unpretentious trees and shrubs. But young seedlings are much more capricious and require competent care and attention.
Sakura is most often associated with Japan and its culture. Picnics in the shade flowering trees have long been an integral attribute of the meeting of spring in the Land of the Rising Sun. The financial and academic year here begins on April 1, when magnificent cherry blossoms bloom. Therefore, many significant moments in the life of the Japanese pass under the sign of their flowering. But sakura grows well in cooler regions - certain types can be successfully grown even in Siberia.
It is very interesting for me to analyze how people's tastes and preferences for certain foods have changed over the centuries. What was once considered tasty and traded lost its value over time and, conversely, new fruit crops conquered their markets. Quince has been cultivated for more than 4 thousand years! And even in the 1st century BC. e. about 6 varieties of quince were known and even then the methods of its reproduction and cultivation were described.

Among the many different varieties of these most popular vegetables, we will talk about three that are distinguished by excellent taste and relatively unpretentious growing conditions. Characteristics of eggplant varieties "Diamond", "Black Handsome" and "Valentina". All eggplants have a medium density pulp. In "Almaz" it is greenish, and in the other two it is yellowish-white. They are united by good germination and excellent yield, but in different time. Everyone's skin color and shape is different.
So the time has come for green cuttings of clematis in central Russia and more northern regions. It is much cheaper to prepare high-quality planting material yourself than to purchase rooted cuttings in garden centers, shops, nurseries, and private traders. In addition, it is not very difficult to do this. If you carefully read this post, you will definitely understand all the components of the process of green cuttings, and soon there will be much more of these beautiful vines at your dacha.
King of vines - clematis variety "Hagley Hybrid"
Having created in their "country bins" a reserve planting material clematis, then it will be possible to exchange varieties with neighbors in the country or exchange something else for them. After all, clematis has always been, is and will be in the top ten most best plants blooming in June! And many varieties, thanks to spectacular remontant (repeated) or prolonged (long) flowering, continue to hold leadership in flower beds almost until frost.
Having once tried the green cuttings of clematis (and having achieved positive result), you will certainly be engaged in the reproduction of the king of vines, if the stalk of the coveted variety falls into your hands. To avoid disappointment in this exciting process, I propose to analyze the components of its success step by step.
1. Uterine clematis
A well-developed 3-year-old plant (without signs of diseases and pests) can be cut.
Clematis variety "Ramona" is well propagated by green cuttings
It is also possible to cut cuttings, if necessary, from vines that are growing, but only once. Green cuttings of such varieties as "Luther Burbank", "Elegia", "Victoria", "Ernest Markham" and others are well rooted.
2. Optimum cutting time
You can cut clematis throughout the growing season, but best time in central Russia and to the north - June and early July, in the south - May-June.
Not to be missed optimal time, it is necessary to focus on the stage of budding. In clematis, this period is extended in time and ranges from 2 to 4 weeks. Cuttings are also allowed at the very beginning of flowering, when single flowers are opened.
You can check the readiness of clematis for green cuttings as follows: when bent, the shoot should not break.
3. Properly prepared soil substrate
It is cooked in pots or brooding boxes, or greenhouses. The substrate consists of two layers: the upper (2-3 cm thick) is pure washed river sand, the lower (15-20 cm) is a mixture of sand, black soil, peat in a ratio of 1:1:1 or 1:2:1. We use peat with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction.
Cuttings are especially susceptible to fungal diseases, so before placing them, we spill the soil substrate with a pink solution of potassium permanganate or phytosporin (according to instructions), or foundationol (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water).
4. Properly cut cuttings
We cut the cuttings from the middle part of the shoots: it is possible with two pairs of leaves (then we remove the lower one), or with one pair.
We work with a sharp disinfected knife or secateurs; the lower cut must be made oblique to increase the area (which in the future will contribute to greater root formation).
5. Growth Regulators
The finished stalk is immersed to the node for 3-5 hours in a solution of sodium humate (3 g per 0.5 l of water) or succinic acid(2 g per 0.5 l of water), or for 16 hours in a solution of heteroauxin (100 mg per 1 l of water).

After treatment with a stimulant, the cuttings are rinsed clean water and only then planted.
Pros and cons of drugs that stimulate the development of the root system in clematis cuttings:
- - breeding according to the instructions, stimulates the development of roots; overdose is unacceptable, as the opposite effect is observed;
- "Kornerost" - similar to heteroauxin;
- - breeding according to the instructions or dusting; it is better to use an aqueous solution - it is more stable, the probability of overdose is extremely small;
- "Ribav-extra" - in the form of an aqueous solution, good for soaking cuttings;
- "Domocvet", "Zircon" - breeding according to the instructions, increases resistance to fungal diseases and stress;
- "Krezatsin" - soaking cuttings according to the instructions, activates resistance to adverse soil conditions.
6 Creating a fog effect
Cuttings take root better if watering is arranged in the form of an artificial intermittent fog. Such installations are in specialized nurseries engaged in vegetative propagation.

In the conditions of giving, cuttings in pots are covered liter cans, in the ridges - with a plastic film on the arcs (every day we lift it, air it, spray the cuttings with water using a sprayer with small holes).
On the left is clematis variety "Yubileyny 70", on the right is the transplantation of a rooted cutting to a permanent place, photo of the site supersadovnik.ru
At a temperature of + 20 ° C, the rooting process of clematis is usually 30 days. A month later, the cuttings, carefully, so as not to break off the young tender roots, are transplanted for growing in separate pots or on special ridges with a fertile loose substrate, or immediately to a permanent place near the gazebo, arch, lattice, and so on.
How could you make sure to root green cutting clematis will not be difficult. We have mastered the theory, it's time to move on to practice!
This king of vines adorns pergolas and arbors. Not picky and feels good in the garden and in the flower bed. Some varieties are so decorative that up to two hundred flowers appear on one bush. The plant is at the peak of popularity. Luxurious flowering and noble foliage captivates at first sight. Growing a garden beauty is not difficult. But buying seedlings is expensive. A large number of summer residents who already have a cherished bush on the site are wondering how to propagate clematis on their own. The answer to this question is in this article.
Clematis description, photo
Another name for the plant is clematis. A perennial from the Ranunculaceae family is a vine up to 10 m long. Its trunk becomes rigid after the third year of life. But you can also find specimens with a grassy stem. Their height is only about 40 centimeters. Another of the life forms is the shrub. Its shoots rise up to 140 cm. different shape leaves and even the type of root system is not the same. It can be a rod version or a lush bunch of roots, reaching 1.5 meters in diameter.
Know! The roots have an intense specific smell.
the birthplace of this amazing plant are subtropical regions. But the flower has successfully passed the process of acclimatization in Europe. And now more than 300 varieties of this liana adorn the gardens and parks of the Old World.
Flowers may have different colors. The shade of the petals depends on many factors:
- climatic features of the region;
- soil composition;
- growing geography;
- hit rate sunlight.
Early varieties bloom in June. In later ones, the decorative period is postponed towards the end of summer. Flowers can form lush inflorescences or appear singly on stems. They can be simple or terry. The shape is also varied - from an asterisk to a bell. Pleasant aroma almond or jasmine accompanies abundant flowering clematis. It lasts from one to three weeks.
Methods for propagating clematis
You can increase the number of bushes on the site in various ways. You can propagate the plant with seeds. But in this case, luxurious hybrid varieties with large flowers of bizarre shape and color will not pass on to offspring a set of their hallmarks. Then the vegetative method comes to the rescue. Several breeding options are used:
- cuttings. A simple way that does not require special skills.
- layering. Also a convenient common method.
- The division of the bush. It is combined with the garden beauty rejuvenation procedure.
- In water.
- Through vaccination. This method is for professionals. The traditional format for breeders who are trying to breed new variety, as well as affect any characteristics of the plant.
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is important to choose the most suitable in each individual case.
Everything vegetative methods have a number of common advantages:
- accelerated appearance of buds;
- homogeneity in terms of genetics;
- resilience;
- increase the endurance and longevity of the plant;
- protection of young animals from diseases of various etiologies.
When is the best time to cut clematis?
There is an opportunity to hold this event not only in spring, but also in autumn period. Many gardeners are of the opinion that at the beginning of the growing season, the plant tolerates the procedure more easily, and the planting material takes root faster. There is an opposite point of view - it is better to cut cuttings before the onset of cold weather. This will allow the mother bush to recover and rest before the next season.
cuttings in spring
This procedure occurs by rooting green shoots. This method is simple in terms of execution technique and fast. It is also considered the most reliable. One mother plant is capable of producing a large amount of planting material. This is a profitable way to propagate clematis.
Propagation by cuttings in autumn
Before the onset of the first frost, clematis is pruned. This has a positive effect not only on the subsequent growth and development of shoots. Buds in the spring quickly and easily enter a new growing season. Cuttings are usually harvested from unnecessary pruned branches. It is best that they are lignified.
Up to two nodes and several leaves are left on prepared shoots. It is better that this is a fragment from the middle of the branch, and not its tip. The lower cut is made obliquely for better survival. Experienced flower growers treat the "baby" with special preparations that stimulate root formation (for example, "Kornevin" is suitable).
The process will also be accelerated by the use of a specially prepared substrate. It consists of a mixture of peat and sand in a ratio of 1:2. It is preferable to use separate containers for each shoot. The earth needs to be well moistened. The cuttings are immersed in the soil so that the first node is completely covered by the substrate.
Creation special conditions- a pledge of rapid development and rooting of branches. Ideal temperature regime for planting material - 25⁰C. To maintain an optimal moisture balance, young animals are regularly sprayed with water from a spray bottle. The irrigation procedure is carried out several times a day every day.
Attention! During autumn cuttings, after the rooting of the shoots, they need to be stored in the basement until spring arrives.
We propagate clematis with different types of layering
This is an even simpler method than cuttings. But it will take more time to implement the plan. The main options for breeding clematis using this method:
- Rooting vertical layers. This method does not adversely affect the flowering of the handsome garden.
- Horizontal Chinese layering. You can carry out this type of work in spring and autumn. It is advisable to pre-fertilize under the mother bush.
- Air reproduction. Rare method. Suitable for breeding herbaceous or semi-shrub varieties.
The method of vertical layering makes it possible to get an even more lush bush. Around the old plant, young shoots form within two seasons. Soil saturated with nutrients is poured under the plant to its lower nodes. To preserve the substrate and prevent it from being washed out as a result of exposure to rain, the bush is surrounded by a low border. The lower buds form roots over time. From this moment begins their independent development.
The method of reproduction using horizontal layering is more popular. step by step plan carrying out the procedure:
- Next to the mother bush, it is necessary to dig a groove. Its depth should not exceed 10 centimeters. A branch is laid in such a trench. The shoots of the garden handsome are quite fragile - it is important not to break them in the process of bending down to the ground.
- On top of the branch, it is required to pour fertile soil and compact the pile.
- It is important to securely fix the directional shoot in the ground.
- Regular irrigation promotes early root formation.
- Young shoots will appear in spring time. It is desirable to carry out hilling with a nutrient substrate several times during the summer.
- It will be possible to transplant young bushes away from the mother plant in a year.
- The final formation of the bush will be completed within a three-year period.
Air layering method - difficult task. You will need to pick up a strong stem with healthy large buds. Under them, the shoot should be cut to the middle. This place is treated with a root stimulator and wrapped in a pillow of wet moss. The top of the branch is cut off. The rest is insulated polyethylene film and attached to a support.
Attention! When the roots look through the moss, the plant can be planted separately.
Features of propagation of clematis by green cuttings
This event can be combined with clematis pruning. A suitable period in the southern regions is May and June. In conditions middle lane the time for the procedure is delayed by a month. June and July are the right time for cuttings in this climate zone.
To complete the task, you will need a pruner, cutting board, a well-sharpened knife, any growth stimulant, container, soil, a small greenhouse or just a plastic bag.
When planting a shoot, it is necessary to ensure that the node goes 1 cm deep into the ground. Roots will be formed from this node in the future. Young growth should be seated at a distance of at least 5 cm. It is important to take care of regular spraying of plants. Irrigation is carried out several times a day. The cuttings take root well 1.5 months after planting.
Procurement and processing of cuttings
As donors, it is preferable to choose plants older than three years of age. Pruning is carried out at the time of bud development. It is advisable to use side shoots that grew after pruning the bush. They should not have buds, and the allowed number of knots should be no more than two.
Important! The bottom cut is made at an angle of 45 degrees, and the top shoot should be even.
The leaves are cut in half. The workpiece is sprayed with a root formation stimulator. It can be Zircon, Epin or some other drug. Then the branch is immersed in water and left in dark place where no light can penetrate.
Substrate for planting
Young growth perfectly takes root in a substrate consisting of a mixture of peat and sand. Soil moisture should not exceed 30%. To avoid stagnant water, a two-level soil layer is formed in the pot. The lower part consists of humus, peat and sand in equal proportions. A sand cushion is poured on top. Its height is about eight centimeters.
Planting cuttings
When immersed in the ground, the knot must be deepened by one centimeter. Later, it will become the center of the formation of the root system. The distance between plantings should be at least 5 cm. After a month and a half, the cuttings are ready to move to the site.
Cutting Care
Young growth must be sprayed. This manipulation must be performed several times a day. The optimal temperature regime for "children" is in the range of 20-22 ° C. Twigs are covered with plastic bottles or jars to create a greenhouse effect. Periodically it is necessary to ventilate the "kids". After two weeks, the shelter can be removed.
Important! Do not expose cuttings to direct sunlight. They may die.
- The age of the mother plant affects the success of cuttings. It is best that the vine is 3-4 years old;
- the time of harvesting planting material coincides with the period of swelling of the kidneys and the setting of buds;
- the donor plant must be healthy. Then the "children" will grow strong;
- it is necessary to pre-fertilize under an adult bush;
- you can cut no more than one third of the shoots. Otherwise, serious harm can be done to the vine.
How to propagate clematis in summer
A suitable time period for grafting a garden handsome man is August. For successful survival of blanks, the following rules should be followed:
- Be sure to process the cut points.
- It is advisable to plant shoots in plastic bottles. They are dug into the soil.
- Do not forget about regular irrigation of planting material.
- Young growth is transplanted to a permanent place of growth in a year.
The rest of the rules are the same as in the case spring breeding shoots. The material is taken only from a healthy powerful bush.
Attention! Be sure to choose strong branches and cut them only with a disinfected, well-sharpened tool.
How to propagate clematis with a plastic bottle
The prepared container is cut in half. The lower part will serve as a flowerpot. It is filled with a nutrient substrate and a cutting prepared in accordance with all the rules is planted. The soil is thoroughly moistened. Next, cover the top with the second half of the bottle. Requires fixing with tape. To avoid excessive heating, the container is dug into the ground at the level of the soil poured into it. For irrigation and ventilation, just unscrew the lid.
How to propagate clematis cuttings in water
Can be used plastic bottle and for this method. Several blanks are placed in glass containers. She, in turn, is inserted into a half-cut bottle. The water level should be low. The buds should not be immersed in it - only the lower tips of the branches are moistened. As necessary, water is added to the level indicated above. From above, the container is covered with the second half of the bottle.
Such a mini-greenhouse is left at room temperature. When roots about 3 cm long appear, young growth can be planted in flowerpots. If the shoots are overexposed, their roots will become tangled, and the cuttings themselves will dry out. In pots, young bushes grow until it becomes possible to plant them in open ground.
Propagation of clematis by seeds
Using this method, it is possible to improve the species performance of a variety or even develop a new one. Depending on the caliber, the germination time of the seeds also varies. Small seeds germinate very quickly. Large ones are much slower.
Know! It has been experimentally proved that in large-seeded varieties, the embryo of the future plant is in an underdeveloped state. The shell of such a grain contains special substances that prevent early appearance sprouts. After all, the embryo needs additional time to mature.
After collecting the seeds, at least 2.5-4 months should pass if their size is from 1.5 to 12 mm. Grains of small-seeded species are ready for planting in two months.
With a lack of sunlight, fruits may appear, but the seeds in them will not ripen. In varieties with large seeds, the harvest time for seed comes around the end of October. The fruits should crumble when touched. In frost-resistant varieties, seeds can be harvested even in winter or spring, if the fruits have not fallen off. Store them in a dry, cool place.
At home
When growing at home, sowing is carried out in the fall. All winter the young growth grows and develops. In the spring it can be planted in the garden. 
Preparation begins with the stratification procedure. This allows you to increase immunity to diseases and strengthen future seedlings. After the seeds lie on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for three weeks, they can be sown in boxes. Sowing in such a container in the spring allows you to quickly and easily move seedlings for hardening to a balcony or loggia.
The optimal composition of the substrate consists of ash, garden soil, humus and sand. The depth of seed placement should be 2 times their size. From above, the crops are sprinkled with river sand and slightly compact the soil. This allows the seeds to germinate faster. Depending on the conditions of detention and variety, the period of emergence of the first shoots varies from three weeks to 3 months. It is important to keep the soil moist, but avoid stagnant water.
Attention! The easiest way to start your first sowing is to breed Manchurian clematis. This is a very picky variety that gives friendly shoots.
In the open ground
When sowing seeds in early spring in open ground, it is important to first carry out the stratification procedure. Seeds of large caliber must be kept in the refrigerator for at least three months. Small ones can be sown immediately in open ground, without special preparation. If possible, you can stratify them. At the end of April, medium-sized seeds are sown to a depth of one centimeter. After a month and a half, the first shoots will appear.
Large grains are soaked in warm water. There they must lie down for three days. Water is changed once a day. Seeds can be bubbled. And they can also be sown in boxes in advance, in winter. After the appearance of the first leaf, the young are swooped down on a bed with light, airy soil. When two or more pairs of leaves appear, the seedlings can be moved to ordinary garden soil. After that, young bushes pinch a little higher than the second pair of leaves to accelerate development.
Know! seedlings grown after spring sowing, will become suitable for transplanting to a permanent place only by autumn.
Therefore, many flower growers prefer to plant seeds in the fall in order to enjoy the first flowering of their wards next season. In this case, it is imperative to provide a reliable shelter for planting for the winter. It can be a combination of straw and film or other reliable options.
Most of the small-seeded varieties bloom in the second year. Large-seeded - only on the third or even fourth. After the completion of the first decorative period, the plants can be transplanted to a permanent place.
Bush division method
An adult bush can be divided in spring or autumn. The plant is carefully dug up. It is necessary to handle the root system as carefully as possible. With a pointed bayonet of a shovel, the rhizome is cut into several parts.
A large bush is difficult to dig out of the ground completely. Therefore, one third of its underground part is exposed and separated with a shovel. After that, they fill the hole with earth and spill the soil with Kornevin's solution. Separated parts are planted immediately in a permanent place. With this method of reproduction, the bushes bloom quickly.
Reproduction of clematis pros and cons
Bushes ready for planting can be purchased at specialized garden centers and stores. Don't have to spend own forces and time. They can be moved to open ground immediately after purchase.
But it is much more pleasant to grow your seedling yourself. Yes, and a purchased copy can get sick and not take root. By harvesting cuttings on your own, you can know exactly what characteristics the “baby” will be endowed with. After all, she will inherit all the characteristics of the mother plant. These will be zoned, acclimatized plants that are not afraid of frost and winds. Such seedlings do not require careful and complex care.
Conclusion
Having studied all the possibilities presented, any novice gardener will know how to propagate clematis independently and correctly.
