watering
Clematis 'Madame Julia Correvon' should be watered every 1-2 days during the summer months to ensure that the soil remains moist, but not wet. During the winter months, the plant should be watered every 7-10 days. Over-watering may cause root rot in this plant species, so adjust the watering schedule accordingly if the soil remains wet for more than 2-3 days. Furthermore, it is important to check the soil often to ensure that it is neither too dry nor too wet.
sunlight
Clematis 'Madame Julia Correvon' does best in full sun and prefers at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. It should be planted in a sunny location that faces south or west for optimal growth and bloom quality. It can tolerate some light shade, but it will not flower as profusely as when grown in full sun. Ensure that the sun exposure is consistent from spring through fall for the best flower production.
pruning
Clematis 'Madame Julia Correvon' should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring, usually when the forsythia blooms in your area. Pruning should be done to encourage young growth and promote a full, healthy framework of stems for flowering. Remove weak or damaged stems and shorten any stray lateral stems that have become too long. If desired, pruning can be done in early summer after blooming, for additional compact growth.

FAQ
Can Clematis plants grow in pots?
Yes, Clematis plants can definitely be grown in pots. When planting a Clematis in a pot make sure to use a larger size pot with drainage holes and fill it with a mix of well-draining potting soil and compost. Ensure to keep the root area cool and the pot in a sunny location while providing regular water and fertilization. Check the plant almost daily to make sure it is not becoming too dry. Clematis can do well in a pot and with the right care and conditions, they will thrive.
Are Clematis plants self-pollinating?
No, clematis plants are not self-pollinating. Clematis plants need pollinators such as bees, butterflies, moths and other insects to transfer pollen from the male anthers to the female stigma of the flower in order to produce viable seed. Pollination must also occur within relatively close proximity of the same species in order to create viable hybrid plants.
Can Clematis plants be grown as a houseplant?
Yes, Clematis plants can be grown as a houseplant. It is best to grow them in a pot with full sun and a soil that is rich in organic material and retains moisture. When potting the plant, place a stake or trellis next to the pot so that the vine can climb when it begins to grow. Be sure to water your Clematis plant regularly to keep it healthy and growing. Additionally, keep an eye out for pests and treat with natural insecticides as necessary.
Could Clematis plants survive in a colder climate?
Yes, Clematis plants can survive in colder climates with proper preparation. If planted in the fall, proper mulching should be done to protect the roots from cold temperatures. If planted in the spring, they should be watered frequently to help them adjust to the cooler temperatures more quickly. If temperatures drop below -20°C ( -4°F), additional measures may need to be taken such as the application of protective wraps and thermal insulation. Additionally, plants in exposed areas should be protected from the wind to prevent excessive dehydration. With the right measures in place, Clematis plants can easily survive in colder climates.
Could Clematis plants be grown in a greenhouse?
Yes, clematis plants can be grown in a greenhouse. Due to their vine-like growth habit and tropical native origins, clematis plants thrive in the moist and warm environment of a greenhouse. Clematis are generally grown from cuttings or from dividing existing plants, and benefit from regular pruning and fertilizing. They will also enjoy the indirect light of a greenhouse and the protection from strong winds and temperatures that the humidity and contained environment provides.
