Hi,
I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is normal.
I took some cuttings from a clematis a few months ago. They
developed
roots so I've potted them on into small pots and since then they
have
developed more roots but nothing above the soil. All I have is the
original stem and leaf of the cutting. It must be more than a month
since I potted them on. Will they not put on growth until next
Spring?
It is an early flowering type.
Thanks
Jane-

It would have been better not to have moved them but they may grow a
shoot before autumn, but if they don't it is extremely unlikely they
will
survive the winter, Clematis cuttings are very easy - getting them
past
the first winter is not!

Is there any way to tell if you should take a nodal cutting or an
internodal one?
David Hill

Many thanks for your replies.
Would it help if I kept them in a poly tunnel or spare bedroom for the
Winter?
Thanks again
Jane

Poly tunnel

and Dave, most climbers I use internodal cuttings simply because you can!
and it cuts down the amount of material used and shorter cuttings are
less inclined to wobble and therefore quicker to root
