Many botanical clematis species can be propagated by sowing. Germination takes very different times and can be between 3 weeks and up to 14 months, because some clematis are cold germinators (frost germinators). When sowing, it is genetically determined that the seedlings are not always identical to the starting plant (mother plant). Domestic clematis are usually \u201creal\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Propagation by cuttings<\/h2>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Propagation by <strong>cuttings<\/strong> is best done from late spring to early summer. This requires some experience and skill. In gardening practice, large quantities of plants are produced. One speaks here of mass proliferation. The procedure is similar to that of other plants that are propagated through cuttings.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7

are not of great importance. Rooting takes 21 to 35 days. Mainly clematis varieties that are easy to root are propagated. This explains why there is often only a very limited range available. (e.g. at discounters) It is common practice to cover the cuttings with foil when propagating them. This ensures a high level of humidity and prevents the cuttings from drying out. Regular ventilation is essential. Direct sunlight must be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clematis montana and some other species can also be easily propagated by <strong>cuttings<\/strong>.  <br\/>This can be done in the winter months. You must always work frost-free.

Experts are familiar with a comparable method of propagation for conifers. Turn two into one! The &#8220;nurse&#8221;, Clematis vitalba, serves as a grafting rootstock and brings rooting capacity from one year of previous cultivation to the propagation. The scions grow together with the rootstock after 14 &#8211; 21 days and start growing immediately. Even during this growth phase, the scions begin to form their own roots, so that two different and equivalent root systems are formed. The rootstock (Clematis vitalba) provides vigorous and healthy growth, and Clematis vitalba is also immune to clematis wilt! The former wounds caused by grafting are compensated for by a rapid healing process with callus formation. Entry points for various fungal diseases are thus successfully closed from the outset. The fine root system is usually located in the upper 20 &#8211; 40 cm layers of soil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The &#8220;real&#8221; thick-fleshed roots have storage capacity and can penetrate very deep into the soil (up to 1.50 m). Dry periods can be bridged very well. The decisive advantage of these two root systems is that the clematis adapts independently to the new soil conditions. No other method of propagation can achieve this! My customers have been benefiting from this advantage for many years without really knowing it. \ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n<p>A greenhouse is essential for propagation! The best time for grafting is the month of March. A clematis from this type of propagation is ready for sale with flowers for the first time in August\/September (7 months later). (For comparison: a clematis propagated from cuttings takes 12-14 months to flower for the first time)<\/p>\n\n<p>Wild shoots that could sprout from the rootstock are ruled out with clematis. Among other things, the problem with wild shoots in rose grafting is well known.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Propagation by sowing Sowing is a classic example of how to propagate clematis.
