Before clematis is coiled, you must first choose a flower stand. Plants that are more than 2 years old should use a large stand, and plants that are about one year old should use a small stand. You can make your own flower stand by just setting it up with bamboo poles. After that, dead branches and old branches should be pruned to prevent them from breaking when the branches are coiled. When twisting branches, twist the main branches first and then the side branches. The main branches should be coiled outside the bamboo pole. Don't put all the branches in the same direction, it's best to stagger them. After potting, apply some fertilizer and repot regularly to ensure it receives light from all sides.

1. Flower stand selection

If you want the arranged branches to look good, you must first choose a suitable flower stand. The size of the flower stand is directly proportional to the size of the plant. Use a large stand for large seedlings, and always use a small stand for small seedlings. The height of the large frame is about 1-2 meters, which is suitable for seedlings more than 2 years old. The small frame is 50-60 cm high and suitable for seedlings under 1 year old. You can also make your own flower stand by setting it up with three bamboo poles.

2. Proper pruning

In order to make the clematis coil better, it needs to be pruned in advance. Dead branches and old branches should be pruned, because these branches are relatively brittle and will break on the plate, which is not conducive to its growth. In addition, thin out the branches that are too dense to prevent them from affecting their ventilation and light transmission.

3. Coil the branches

When twisting branches, you need to twist the main branches first and then the side branches. The main branches should be coiled on the outside of the bamboo pole, not on the inside, otherwise it will affect its shape. After coiling, you need to tie the branches, leaves and bamboo poles with thread. Do not tie them too tightly to prevent damage to the plants. Don't let all the branches shine in the same direction, but stagger each other so that the flowers bloom more three-dimensionally.

4. Follow-up maintenance

After placing the tray, apply some fertilizer to facilitate its growth. If you breed indoors, you need to turn the pot regularly to ensure that all sides can receive light. If there is no light in a certain direction, it may affect its flowering.
