Maintenance:

To keep your Clematis 'The President' thriving and looking its best, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Sunlight: Plant in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. 'The President' thrives in full sun to partial shade.
• Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Soil: Clematis 'The President' prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Amend the soil with compost before planting.
• Support: Install a sturdy trellis, obelisk, or other support structure for the vine to climb on. Ensure the support is in place before planting.
• Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or damaged stems and to shape the plant. 'The President' blooms on old wood, so avoid heavy pruning during the growing season.
• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of blooms. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the appropriate dosage.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and insulate the roots.
• Pest and Disease Control: Monitor the plant for common pests, such as aphids or slugs, and take appropriate measures for control. Keep an eye out for signs of diseases and address them promptly.
