Watering

Watering for Clematis 'Evipo038' CRYSTAL FOUNTAIN should be done regularly but not too often. Depending on the climate and the time of the year, the plant may need weekly watering. However, it's best to wait until the soil begins to feel dry before adding more water. During the summer, water once or twice a week with a generous amount of water. During the winter, the plant may require only occasional watering, depending on the weather conditions. If the soil is dry and the plant looks stressed, give it a deep soak, but otherwise let it rest until the soil feels dry.

Light

For optimal growth, it requires 6-8 hours of full sun each day. Sunlight should be provided in the cooler parts of the day, such as morning or late afternoon. Avoid direct contact with hot midday sun because too much summer heat may scorch the foliage, reduce flowering, and lead to plant stress. If you live in a warmer climate, try to place your Clematis in a location that gets some shade in the afternoon. Make sure the soil does not dry out, as this can stunt your plant's growth.
