watering
Watering for Clematis 'My Angel' should be done regularly throughout its growing season, from early spring to early fall. During this time, water your clematis when the top inch of soil begins to dry. Water deeply and thoroughly, giving it a generous soaking that reaches down to the roots. Avoid splashing water on the leaves and flowers. Water your clematis every 10 days to 2 weeks, or more often if the soil is sandy or in hot, dry weather.
sunlight
Clematis 'My Angel' plants prefer 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day, although some partial sun or light shade can also work. Sunlight should be present between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for optimal growth. In the summer, when temperatures are particularly high, it is best to place the plant in a shaded spot during the hottest parts of the day. If needed, the plants can also be moved and gradually adjusted to more or less direct sunlight during the day.
pruning
Pruning of Clematis ‘My Angel’ should occur annually, usually in the early spring when buds start to swell. The recommended pruning method for this particular species calls for a light prune of any dead, diseased, or stray branches, as well as removal of any shoots growing too low down. Pruning should be done in such a way that it will encourage the plant to bloom abundantly in the summer months. After this initial pruning, dead flowers may be removed as needed to promote further flowering. For optimal growth, it is recommended to lightly prune the plant twice a year: in early spring and again early fall. This will encourage it to produce vigorous and attractive 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.
