WaterClematis 'Tai Yang' should be watered thoroughly once a week, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. During the growing season in spring and summer, it may need water twice a week if the weather is particularly dry or hot. Each watering session should consist of about one gallon of water for mature plants, allowing the moisture to reach deep into the roots. In the winter months, water less frequently, just enough to keep the soil from drying out completely, as the plant is dormant during this period.
LightClematis 'Tai Yang' thrives best in a spot that receives at least six hours of sunlight a day, though it can tolerate partial shade. The ideal location would provide morning sun and afternoon shade to protect the plant from the intense heat of late-day sunlight. Ensure it's planted in a well-lit area away from shadows cast by larger structures or trees for optimum growth and flowering.
TemperatureThe Clematis 'Tai Yang' prefers a temperature range between 45°F and 85°F; however, it can tolerate temperatures down to about 20°F. Ideal growth occurs when the plant is exposed to temperatures within the 60°F to 75°F range. It is hardy to USDA zones 4 through 9, ensuring that it can survive winters in these areas as long as the root zone is protected from extreme cold.
PruningClematis 'Tai Yang' requires pruning to promote healthy growth and flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts by cutting back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 12 inches above the ground. Pruning helps maintain the plant's shape, encourages new growth, and improves air circulation, which can reduce the risk of disease. This variety typically belongs to pruning group 3, which means it flowers on the current year's growth and therefore benefits from annual hard pruning.
CleaningAs needed
SoilClematis Tai Yang, widely known as Clematis, thrives in well-draining soil with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. A mix of loamy soil, peat, and perlite or sand promotes good drainage while retaining moisture. An application of compost or well-rotted manure enriches the soil, benefiting the plant's growth.
RepottingClematis 'Tai Yang' should be repotted every two to three years to replenish the soil and accommodate root growth. Repot in late winter or early spring before the onset of the growing season.
Humidity & MistingClematis Tai Yang requires moderate humidity levels. It's adaptable but fares best when ambient humidity is neither too dry nor excessively moist, mimicking the natural outdoor conditions it prefers.
Suitable locationsIndoor
Provide bright, indirect light and support for climbing.
Outdoor
Full sun to part shade, shelter from strong winds, support for climbing.
Hardiness zone
4-9 USDA
Life cycleThe Clematis 'Tai Yang' begins its life cycle as a dormant root system or a seed. Once planted and as temperatures warm in spring, it germinates, sprouting stems and leaves. As it enters the vegetative stage, it focuses energy on growing taller and developing a strong root system. The plant then progresses to the flowering phase, generally from early summer to early autumn, producing large, vividly colored blossoms that attract pollinators. After flowering, it may produce seeds, which are dispersed by wind or animals, allowing the cycle to continue. Finally, in preparation for winter, the plant enters a period of dormancy where above-ground growth dies back, yet it can resprout from the same roots the following spring.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to early summer
The Clematis Tai Yang, also known as 'Evipo045', can be propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings during summer when the plant is actively growing. This method involves taking a cutting of about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) long from a healthy stem, ensuring it has at least 2-3 nodes. Leaves near the bottom are removed, and the cut end is dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in well-drained soil and kept under high humidity with partial shade. Over a few weeks, the cutting should develop roots and can be transplanted to a larger pot or directly into the garden once it is fully rooted and new growth appears.
