I just read online that I'm supposed to bury the "crown" of the plant a full 3"- 4" below the soil level. The plants I got were shipped from TN to CA and I think they were kept in cold storage to keep them dormant before I got them. Including the root system of these plants, they were all of 6" total, no leaves, just 3" - 4" long stems w/ about 2/3rds of that again roots (tiny, really). I think I was supposed to soak them for a day before I planted them, but I was so excited to plant, I just stuck them in a pot %26amp; watered them like crazy. Now all the stems are really stringy looking %26amp; I'm getting really concerned. Could it still be possible to save them if I bury them completely? Help, all ye gardeners of clematis out there in Y!Answers-land!
I planted 3 bareroot clematis plants in regular potting soil in pots and they're drying up. How can I fix it?
Clematis plants like to be in the sun, but they like their roots in the shade. Put some grass clippings or other type of mulch around them and see if that helps. Good luck.
Reply:Well, it's been 2 weeks now, %26amp; nothing...I think it's safe to say that they're probably not going to make it...thanks for trying anyway... Report It
Reply:Soaking them would have woken them up. Drowning them is not the same. I have a hunch they're dead. Why not put them in the ground where they belong, and wait?
