Clematis cuttings - what happens next?
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 |

Thanks Jane -- Jane42 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! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwallwww.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Is there any way to tell if you should take a nodal cutting or an internodal one?

Would it help if I kept them in a poly tunnel or spare bedroom for the Winter? Thanks again Jane |

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 -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
