Hello From new Zealand. This has been a great series. It would be great to see a Part 4 when the plants are sufficiently developed to allow flowers or to be planted in the garden. I had a bit of trouble with the volume; maybe the mic needs to be pinned on closer. Thanks for sharing your experience! I have some very long bare new fences that I want to cover with many clematis vines. Can you suggest how far apart they should be. I only have clematis montana. Thanks Kiwi Fred
Thank you so mutch for your clematis videos😍 Just what i was looking for!! Can you please make an update video on your clematis plants????!😊 Would love to see them now
Johnny, thank you very much. I must remember to take my trusty cameraman with me more often when I'm pottering about in the garden. I will take encouragement from your feedback, thank you
I was looking for guidance on when to take cuttings as I've never done clematis before. Thank you for taking the time to follow them, so many people are claiming all sort of things - e.g. take when flowering/put horizontally/don't need hormon powder but they never actually show you what happens to the cuttings after they plonk them in the soil, which makes me suspicious of their claims.
trueamnisias I have taken cuttings from the nodes as suggested and now I have some fresh new little growth coming on each little plant. It’s August in northern England. If I pot them on into a small pot will they survive in an unheated greenhouse?
@@sylviacrookes774 I’m so sorry I missed your question in this reply to another comment; I would have said that yes the location you’ve suggested is perfect for wintering in N England. How did you get on and how are they looking now?
Hi there in Toronto - WOW I was lucky enough to visit your amazing city in 1999 ... can't believe that was twenty years ago. Never forgotten it. Is Casa Loma still there??? Regards your question, cuttings are often best taken when 'the sap is rising' i.e. when a plant is getting ready to really storm into its growing season. However, lots of plants also do well if semi-ripe or even ripe cuttings are taken ... it will often depend largely on the individual plant. Some clematis are evergreen while others are herbaceous, for example. I would say to anyone "give it a go" and see what happens. As long as you don't harm the mother plant in the process, you've very little to lose. Pick a nice juicy stem with no flowers ... the problem with flowers is the plant expends so much energy creating them that there is often not enough energy left for creating roots and new growth! Good luck - let me know how you get on
@@plantsfromba9990 Thank you so much for your reply! Yes, Casa Loma is still here, I've been there a few times. It's a lovely and beautiful garden. 'the sap is rising' is very important information for me. It's so interesting to learn the lifecycle of the plant. Thank You! Rocky
I've viewed a number of vids on taking Clematis cuttings and this is the first one that suggests burying the cutting deeply enough to cover the stem node. Would there be any wisdom in dabbing a bit of rooting powder on the side with the leaf removed to enhance the chances of rooting from that point? Either way, thank you for your take on this subject.
Excellent series, thank you.

Thank you! This is so helpful! Why can't you put them in the bigger pot to begin with? Why switch pots so many times?
Excellent, I shall have a go .....inspiring
Congratulations!
Thank you so much! Your videos deserve a million views!
Do you think I can do it now in early July? Or Spring is the best time?

Try layering your plant a simple way 👍

Hi William, yes absolutely nothing to lose.
I’ve started experimenting more recently with liquid hormone gel rather than powder. Go for it!
Do you think if you used rooting hormone there would have been more success developing roots on your cuttings? IDK - just asking.
Did anyone else notice the small spider by her wrist around the 5 min 30 second mark?
I did, I saw it. Scary!
Hi could you please speak up a little, or fix microphone so it works more efficiently. Thank you.
