Water: Clematis 'Romantika' thrives in moist soil without waterlogging. Check soil moisture regularly; water thoroughly when dry. During spring, water more due to rapid growth. In rainy conditions, ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot. Use pebbles in saucers for better drainage.

Fertilize: Fertilization of clematis 'Romantika' depends on size; use nitrogen during growth, phosphate before blooming, and potassium regularly. Apply low-concentration fertilizer several times. During dormancy, withered leaves allow for organic fertilizer addition and compost covering for increased nutrients and frost protection.

Pruning: Prune clematis 'Romantika' before flowering or in late winter to early spring, removing weak branches for better nutrient distribution. Light summer pruning is advised to retain leaves. Heavy pruning can stimulate growth; retain thick branches for longer blooms. Wait for suitable conditions before pruning if weather is poor.
