1. Cutting propagation
1. Between two nodes, select a semi-lignified clematis stem, keeping 2 buds on the node.
2. For the soil, you can choose a mixed medium of peat soil, vermiculite and perlite; the cutting depth should be such that the buds on the node just emerge above the soil surface; after inserting, firm the soil around it and water thoroughly.
3. Place it in a ventilated spot with diffused light for care, keep the leaf surface moist, and watch for whether new bud points emerge; it can take root in about 1 month.
4. After rooting, it needs to be potted up; first place it in a spot with diffused light for about a week, then gradually increase the light.
2. Water and fertilizer management
1. Utopia fears wilting the most; in summer water once every 1~2 days, preferably in the morning, water thoroughly and then pour out any standing water in the pot.
2. Newly planted clematis is best not fertilized in the first year; just add some slow-release fertilizer for acclimatization to the potting soil. In the second year it grows rapidly, and when the flower quantity is large, apply light fertilizer frequently.
3. Light management
Utopia prefers semi-shade; in spring and autumn place it in an environment with good light, and in summer give appropriate shading for care; indoors ensure about 4 hours of light per day.
4. Pest and disease control
Clematis has strong disease resistance; generally in summer high-temperature weather it easily gets wilt disease. If it still cannot recover after watering and spraying, it means it has been infected by pathogens, and you can spray thiophanate-methyl once a month.
Common pests include aphids, leaf miners, red spider mites, etc.; you can spray 70~100 times diluted ammonia water at night.

Care tips
1. Post-bloom pruning
After the F-series clematis blooms in late spring, prune the spent flowers,
cut down at the branch 3 nodes below the flower
, to avoid excessive nutrient consumption and the occurrence of wilt disease.
2. Light, water and fertilizer
F-series clematis is shade-tolerant and not fertilizer-tolerant; care with half-day sun is enough. Water by the principle of watering when dry and stopping when wet, and avoid using organic fertilizer.
3. Summer dormancy
In summer, when the leaves turn yellow and black, it indicates that the dormancy period has begun; it is best to cut short the branches and dead leaves before the end of August, as pruning too late will affect growth
