Default How to make a clematis climb

I bought a mature Clematis that is growing about 40 cm on a cane in a
pot. I would like to train it to grow on a trellis, how do I do this
now? shall I remove the plant from the cane on the pot or shall I attach
the cane to the trellis? please help


if the trellis is within a few inches of the
vine as it grows it will find it. time lapse
photography of this process is fun to watch.

once in a while a strong wind may blow bits of
it off, so we lift them back towards the trellis
and they wind around again.
