watering
Clematis triternata 'Rubromarginata' should be watered on a regular basis, at least once every 4-5 days. During the midsummer, watering should be increased to twice a week in order to keep the soil moist. The soil around the plant should never be allowed to dry out completely, as this can cause the plants to suffer from die-back. In addition, the plant should be watered at its base, as wetting the foliage can cause mildewing. During hot weather, it may help to apply organic mulch, such as wood chips, around the root area to help retain moisture. When watering, use tepid water and do not fertilizer it until it is established.
sunlight
Clematis triternata 'Rubromarginata' does best in full sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours each day. Although it can tolerate some dappled sunlight or partial shade, it will not flower as well in low light conditions. For optimal flowering, it needs to receive direct and bright sunlight during the early morning and mid-day. During the hottest parts of the day, the plant should receive some shade to prevent sunburn and wilting.
pruning
Clematis triternata 'Rubromarginata' should be pruned twice a year for optimal growth. Pruning should occur early in the spring and late in the summer. Prune the stems in the spring to about 6 to 12 inches. Remove all dead or weak wood and prune back any side shoots that may have occurred. In the late summer, prune any additional shoots that have grown. Take care to remove any dead or weak wood, and also cut back any shoots that may impede the plant’s desired growth pattern. After pruning, use some kind of fertilizer to promote optimal 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.
