Not enough water and roots will wither and the plant will wilt and die. Too much water applied too frequently deprives roots of oxygen leading to plant diseases such as root and stem rots. The type of plant, plant age, light level, soil type and container size all will impact when a plant needs to be watered.

Young plants need extra phosphorus to encourage good root development. Look for a fertilizer that has phosphorus, p, in it(the second number on the bag.) Apply recommended amount for plant per label directions in the soil at time of planting or at least during the first growing season. Select a support structure before you plant your climber. Common support structures are trellises, wires, strings, or existing structures. Some plants, like ivy, climb by aerial roots and need no support. Aerial rooted climbers are fine for concrete and masonry, but should never be allowed to climb on wood. Clematis climbs by leaf stalks and the passion flower by coiling tendrils. Akebia and wisteria climb by twining stems in a spiral fashion around its support.Pinching is removing the stem tips of a young plant to promote branching. Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning is to begin by removing dead or diseased wood. |
