Lack of flowering is a common problem faced by clematis owners.
To solve it, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , it is necessary to identify and eliminate the reason why the plant does not want to show this world its beautiful buds.
Age
Perhaps you are in too much of a hurry to demand flowers from your clematis – too young plants simply do not have the strength to bloom. A couple of years should pass for the vine to become a real decoration for the garden.
Plant condition
Sometimes the reluctance to bloom is due to the fact that clematis is weakened or sick, so when buying seedlings, make sure that the plant does not show signs of disease or pest damage.
Soil
Sometimes the reason lies in unsuitable soil, since clematis do not like too dense soil that does not allow water and air to pass through well.
In addition, you must be sure that you planted clematis on alkaline (or at least neutral) soil. As a rule, after adding chalk or dolomite flour, clematis flowers reach the size of a saucer.
Landing site
The planting location is also important for the plant - clematis agree to actively grow, develop and bloom only in light and open areas, having secured the support of a support.
