1. Sometimes clematis undergoes gray rot, which appears as brown spots on shoots and foliage. The disease develops during rainy season. Eliminate rot by spraying and watering with Fundazol.
2. Powdery mildew appears as a whitish bloom on leaves and shoots. To remove it, use a solution of 30 g of copper sulfate, 300 g of soap, they are dissolved in 10 liters of water.

5. Rarely leaves are affected by gall or leaf nematodes. The plant withers, bends. Thickenings form on the roots. Harmful beetles are introduced from weeds or soil.

For the prevention of diseases, insect attacks, dill, parsley, coriander, calendula, marigolds are planted next to clematis.

Reproduction

Clematis are preferably propagated vegetatively using different parts of them. There are also several breeding methods.

1. Green cuttings. Shoots are cut from adult clematis at the stage of bud formation. Take material from the middle of the plant, with 1 knot. You can cut no more than 1/3 of the part. Petioles are treated in growth-stimulating solutions, germinated in containers with peat or sand.
2. Layers. In autumn, one of the shoots is pressed to the ground, sprinkled with it. When individual branches germinate, they are separated, grown.
3. Dividing the bush. Take clematis 5-6 years of age. They should be completely dug up, divide the rhizome. This breeding method is the most favorable.
