Flowers & Gardening 0 views
Clematis can indeed be grown indoors. It can usually be planted beside a wall or in front of a window, or allowed to climb over a flower arch or fence; of course, it can also be grown as a potted plant for ornamental display. When growing it indoors, choose a fertile, well-drained alkaline soil, water it moderately, and give it plenty of light, but not too intense; keep it in a spot with a suitable temperature and fertilise it moderately.

1. Can it be grown indoors?

It can absolutely be grown indoors. It is usually planted beside a wall or in front of a window, or allowed to climb on a flower pillar, flower arch or fence; of course, it can also be kept as a potted plant indoors, where its ornamental effect is excellent.

2. How to grow it indoors

1. Soil

It likes loose, fertile alkaline soil, so when choosing soil, never pick soils that easily become waterlogged or do not retain water.

2. Watering

It is not only afraid of drought but also very afraid of waterlogging. In seasons with a lot of rain, because the temperature is higher and the weather is muggy and humid, it is most prone to disease and death, so during the growing season keep the potting soil suitably moist but do not water too much, otherwise the roots will rot.

3. Sunlight

When growing it at home, from autumn to the following spring, keep it under full-light conditions and no shading is needed; then once summer arrives, the light is too intense at this time, which makes the leaves age and turn yellow and dry, and growth becomes poor, so give it appropriate shading.

4. Temperature

It has basically no requirements for temperature, because its adaptability is simply too strong and it is very cold-hardy; in winter it can withstand temperatures of minus 20 degrees.

5. Fertilising

It does not demand much from fertiliser, but during the growing period give it an appropriate amount of liquid fertiliser, about once every half a month; then in other periods, apply as little fertiliser as possible.
