What surprised me the most was learning there is no such thing as Clematis Wilt. Now I will try treating for slugs.

Don't let your dog pee on it

I used to have an abundance of blooms, every spring and summer with mine and now not a single bloom I have three of them, in pots by the front door and I don't know what happened-I don't know when I'm supposed to prune them I will try to find the type I might have kept their little card info...

[@carolynreeves3646]

I have hostas planted by my clematis because I figured they would shade the clematis roots well and have shallow roots themselves. But now I'm wondering if the hostas are taking the nutrients away from my clematis because I don't get many blooms despite the sun they get. Or possibly slugs hurt them, but I haven't seen slugs eating the hosts, so idk. What is your opinion?

[@lindacolley1001]

Slugs on Clematis?!? Who knew?!? I never heard of that.

[@litaapreston9605]

This is my first year growing clematis and it just recently bloomed. Thanks for the reminder in checking before pruning. I need to look it up again 😅😊

[@audreylawrence82]

No Clematis wilt and not needing to have their roots in shade, both of those surprised me the most 🤩

[@texas1852]

There IS such thing as Clematis Wilt. I just had to cut down my entire Pilu and I don’t have slugs and I don’t water the plants. I water under the the leaves directly to the roots - I also have a moisture meter I use to make sure I water correctly…. 😢

[@donnahughes8409]

About the slugs, bothering the clematis.

[@phobedavis7014]

Wow! I have been doing it wrong. I was cutting down the entire vine. All I have to do is prune.

[@michellegruber2345]

Thank you for this video! Lots of good information!

[@JG24AJ]

Love you Amy & Thanks For All You Share. May God bless you in all your endeavors....

[@missdeeva2266]

Thank you! Great info

[@ruthnoronha8206]

This is a very nice explanation. So many awesome bits of info. It took me a long time to understand clematis.

[@TheCornishCottageGarden-bs5lf]

I love my clematis, so found this video useful 😊

[@smedina146]

Excellent video! Blessings from the Great Pacific Northwest, Lakewood, Washington 8b! 💛🖤💛 Stacy

Also garlic water for lily beetle and hostas😊

[@elainavalzania4664]

I have had clematis for years, but the question for me is what kind do I have. There are bell shaped purple blue vigorous bloomers, and two purple large flowering bloomers which I never cut back but the plants are spindly and don't produce many flowers. There are not many vines from the ground coming up to the trellis. These I have never cut back because the step seem woody. The bell shaped I cut back to the ground in the Spring and they bloom for weeks so this year I will try cutting them back after that first bloom. The last one I have is a Josephine and it only has ever had two vines up from the root and blooms very little. What do I do with this one to get it be lush and throw out more blooms? One I have may be a Jackmini I think and that has the same leggy appearance, how and when should this one be pruned? Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@Kate98755]

I planted succulent plants, stonecrop mostly, at their base, the clematis seemed happy, the first batch I didn’t do that and i lost them.

[@88cricketbird88]

I would say the thing that surprised me the most was pruning it.
