Clematis, a beloved vine in cottage gardens, comes in an incredible variety. Did you know you can easily propagate it through layering? Keep reading to learn how, step by step!
In a previous post , you learned how toPropagate blush wine by Air Layeringand it now has become a favorite way of root roses . To propagate clematis by layer you use the same principle but it is done a niggling differently .
What you need to propagate clematis by layering:

Start with your clematis vine . This is the one that was recreate this past surrender and share . The redevelopment make for well and now I can use some of the fresh Spring growth at the base of my clematis vine to propagate more . you’re able to take root many new clematises along one vine .

The video at the end of this post show well what I am working with . The photo shots fundamentally show the new spring growth .
Clematis are ‘ internodal ’ sports fan , think they rout in between foliage nodes . Many other plants actually settle down at the leaf node .
Prep for layering the clematis
To propagate clematis by layering , start by immerse 4 - inch credit card pots in the soil near the base of the plant . Alternatively , you could put to work straight off in the ground . Choose a vine long enough to reach the nearby territory or plenty .
Position the stack under the sections of the vine you want to disperse , or lay the vine straight on the stain surface where it will stay until roots uprise .
Place a board or other solid surface under the vine for simpleness of the next measure . It is optional but it does help .
Slice the Clematis Vine
Use a sharp knife to slice into the stem between two leaf nodes . The slice is about an inch long .
Once you have created a slice hold knife in the fade to keep your place slue a toothpick ( I used a pine phonograph needle this metre ) into the slice to keep the stem sides apart slimly .
The possibility is it prevents the stem from mend over before it has a opportunity to root .
Paint the sliced stem withrooting hormonewith a small paint brushing .
Bury the slice of clematis vine to root
The quite a little are already come out into the soil around the base of the mother plant and have some moist pot grunge in them . Or your soil has been loosened and quick to institute into .
lightly campaign the sliced part of the stem into the soil ( measured clematis can snatch up so easily ) and cover with more potting territory or filth .
This part is really much easier on the ground than in a mountain unless you have sink your pot . I like using grass as I find it a bit easy to excavate them back up . In the ground , I am not sure how deep the roots go . But in the long running clematis can be tough .
I have moil up certain clematis in my garden to move and a tiny piece must have been left in place as the next season a clematis comes up in the same location . And the portion I dig out that was planted in another spot in the garden grows as well .
you could use garden pins to hold the vine down under the stain or use a rock that is respectable enough to do the job .
One of the pots below has the stone and the other is hold back for its stone .
This next one gets a clump of cementum . practice what you have . you could also use garden staples .
Wait
Now here is the foxy part , look and make certain the trivial pots do n’t dry out . ( it can take all summertime for them to root , some varieties root quicker than others ) Being buried slimly in the footing help them to continue wet and tally mulch over them pretty until the annuals I institute at the home of my clematis ( mother plant ) get large enough to shadow fiddling pot .
How do you have intercourse when your starts have rooted ? You will see vigorous ontogenesis shooting up . Good strong ontogenesis . At that point , you may double up - deterrent that there are tooth root by gently digging out the soil around the theme surface area you layer and check off to see .
Here is the video I did of this Emily Price Post hop it would help you to see what I did in well point .
Propagate Your Clematis by Layring!
Relocate when Rooted
Pull the little pots with the rooted clematis out of the background . If you check and they have a gracious theme , sever the mother plant ’s main stem . you could now pot them up into big containers or plant them in their new permanent home .
That is how you propagate clematis by layering .
If you desire to see how it turned out I did an update picture on it .
