Methods of breeding Clematis Hegli Haybrid
This type of climbing plant breeds 4 ways:
- cultivation of seeds;
- by shifting;
- reproduction with gag;
- division.
Each method has its own characteristics, but in the end there are chances of growing a beautiful curly plant on a plot or in the garden.
If we consider the seed method of breeding Clematis, then this method is considered one of the most time-consuming, because you need to prepare seeds, soak and plant in the box, cover with a film, watering as the soil drying and monitor the temperature and lighting. The room temperature should not fall below +18 degrees. Young seedlings need warm and much light. When 2 full-fledged leafs appear, Clematis can be counted for further cultivation. This method is practically not used in gardeners also for the reason that the maternal qualities does not preserve the hybrid plant, which means that there can be no future reproduction of speech.
Shining is one of the most common methods of reproduction of Clematis of this species. As a result of strong pruning of plants, cuttings remain, of which you can grow a lot of curly plants to plant a whole plantation. Therefore, many gardeners do that, cut off the plant in order to improve flowering, and trimming is used to reproduce.
Features of the reproduction of Clematis:
- it is necessary to choose from all cuttings the strongest with 2 nodes at least;
- the cuttings must be put into the container with water with the addition of growth stimulants;
- for green cuttings, it will take excerpt in the water during the day (at least 18 hours), and for the weeds, a day or a little more;
- after such an excerpt, the boarding material must be planted in drawers or slides with soil;
- features of growing: moisturize the soil as drying, ensure that the soil has always been moderately humid;
- 6 weeks are given to the rooting, then the landing material can be transferred to the permanent place of cultivation.
If your task is a large-scale reproduction with cuttings, it is required to properly prepare cuttings: the upper cut should be made to a sharp knife at a right angle, the lower cut - should be at an angle of 45 degrees.
As for the method of dividing the bush - this method of reproduction is suitable if it is not planned to grow large volumes of curly plants. In this case, an adult strong, healthy bush is selected for the selection of the planting material to split it into several parts, separating the part of the root system along with the branches. After separation, the divided bush immediately needs to be put into the soil. Despite the stressful situation, the Clematis of this variety are perfectly leaving in a new place and can soon expect flowering.
Reproduction with gag is one of the most simple breeding methods. In the spring you need young shoots to trigge the layer of land (15 cm) and consolidate. When choosing shoots, give preference to young, but strong shoots. Weak breeding for breeding are not suitable. In order for shoots not moving, they are fixed with brackets and leave until next spring. Just during this period, Clematis's shoots should be rooted and launching new sprouts. Then these branches can be separated from the main bush and plant separately at a permanent place.

Clematis Hegli Haybrid: reviews
We offer to familiarize yourself with the opinions of the amateur flowers about the cultivation of this variety of plants:
Maria: " In my garden, Clematis settled 5 years ago and every year I am rejoicing abundant flowering. My Clematis closed the entire fence, the flowers are large, pale pink shade with dark stamens. My abundant bloom begins from the end of May and continues until mid-June. Then the rest and renewal of flowering in August, but not so abundant. In the first 2 years, I strongly cut Clematis, left 30 cm, then it began to leave 80 cm - 1 m, the trimming was performed in the spring. I liked it so more, because the Clematis of this variety began to bloom».
Svetlana: " My Lianams are not easy to adapt to the weather conditions of Western Siberia. It happened that Clematis was frozen, then a period of flowering and buds were reduced, were not so large. I cut off for the winter, leaving 2 buds, carefully covering my clematis to freeze. I noticed that the plants do not like when the soil dries and when they overheat. The first can be avoided if you mulch sawdust, and I also noticed that if you plant a low decorative plants around, they will create a shadow and thus protect against overheating Lian at the base. But then compliance with fertilizers is required, and Clematis is likely not only get drunk well, but also to "eat." And in general, I am satisfied, the garden is very beautiful during flowering!»
