Water: Clematis terniflora var. mandshurica thrives in a moist environment, needing thorough watering when the soil is dry. In spring, it requires more water. Ensure good drainage by removing excess water from saucers or using pebbles to prevent root rot, especially in rainy conditions.

Fertilize: Fertilizer for clematis terniflora var. mandshurica should match its size. Use nitrogen during growth, phosphate from bud appearance to bloom, and potassium consistently. Apply a small, diluted amount multiple times. During dormancy, wither leaves allow adding organic fertilizer and compost to enhance nutrients and protect roots from frost.

Pruning: Prune clematis terniflora var. mandshurica before flowering or in late winter to early spring by removing weak branches for nutrient efficiency. Heavy pruning can stimulate new growth; leave half the branches for longer blooms. Avoid summer pruning to ensure proper hydration. Wait for suitable weather before pruning if conditions aren't ideal.
