Roots must be developed (ideally, at least 30 cm), without damage or any lesions.

The main condition for the successful planting of Clematis will be a properly prepared landing pit. To do this, dig a sufficiently large hole in advance (from 60 to 100 cm in all directions), laid a wide (10-20 cm) drainage layer (from broken bricks, stones, broken slate), covered with a layer of humus or overwhelming, fertile Earth and all are well compacted. A peat, comprehensive fertilizers (superphosphate), bone flour, chalk or wood ash are also used as an additional feeding. Such an option of landing pit is better to prepare in advance (a month before the landing) so that the soil is completely ass, it has gone and was ready for planting a seedling.
Additionally, a solid support is installed in the pit, which will allow in the future to hold the curious Lian and send it to shoots.
If the groundwater is closed on the site, you can pour an artificial land of the earth, so that mature meter roots are not "mocky" in water and not rot.
If the soil is clay and poorly water permeable, you need to take care of the natural weighing of extra moisture. To do this, you can cut the drain groove with a slope from the site of Clematis, sprinkling it on top of sand.
Before planting the plant, it is necessary to establish supports in advance (up to 2.5 m), which will support shoots during their growth and branching.

The dried roots of the seedling before planting are necessarily soaked in water for several hours.
The prepared landing pit is falling asleep to the ground to half and make a small hollyk, on which the roots of the seedling are spread. When landing, the lower kidney of the saplings is deepened into the ground by about 8-12 cm. Such a bellged landing will ensure, with time, the development of the so-called.
