Water: Clematis intricata thrives in a moist environment but requires good drainage. Check soil moisture before watering; if dry, water thoroughly until it drains from the pot. During spring, clematis intricata needs more water, and it's essential to prevent water accumulation to avoid root rot.

Fertilize: Fertilizer for clematis intricata varies with size. During growth and post-flowering, use nitrogen; during bud formation to bloom, apply phosphate; potassium is essential year-round. Apply diluted fertilizers sparingly. In dormancy, add organic fertilizer and compost for nutrients and frost protection.

Pruning: Clematis intricata benefits from pruning before flowering or in late winter to early spring. Remove weak branches to conserve nutrients and selectively prune for better blooms. Heavy pruning can stimulate growth, while avoiding summer pruning helps maintain water circulation. Overall, a methodical approach enhances blooming and branch health.
