Water: Clematis 'Snow Queen' thrives in a moist environment with proper drainage. Check soil moisture by touch; water when dry, ensuring excess drains out. During rapid growth in spring, increase watering based on conditions, and manage excess water to prevent root rot.

Fertilize: Fertilization for clematis 'Snow Queen' depends on size: nitrogen during growth and post-flowering, phosphate from bud appearance to bloom, and constant potassium. Use small amounts at low concentrations. During dormancy, add organic fertilizer and cover soil with compost to enhance nutrients and protect roots from frost.

Pruning: Clematis 'Snow Queen' should be pruned before flowering or in late winter to early spring. Remove weak branches and selectively prune for better blooms. Heavy pruning (up to one-third height) encourages new growth. Leave thicker branches to extend bloom season, applying this to all clematis 'Snow Queen' varieties.
