I have a very big clematis plant which covers a large area. What and when is the best for cutting back.

Gardenia likes an acid soil. Why do you want to prune your plant? You can prune to stop the plant becoming to large just after flowering , don't think the 'extensions" as you call them will be any good to make cuttings.

Hello, Victor -

First of all moringa plants (trees) grow best in semi-arid tropical and sub-tropical areas.

If you do not reside in a semi-arid tropical or sub-tropical area of the world, moringas may not flourish.

This web page provides planting and cultivating instructions:

Best wishes.

You may be able to let a part of a stem ( still attached to the main stem) lay on a pot of compost just gently graze the bottom of stem + lightly cover with soil + cross your fingers.

Hi Kerri.
Clematis wilt causes the foliage and stems of yourclematis vine to dry and whither, possibly eventurning black. Initially, you may start to see reddish lesions along the stems, but the onset and spread ofclematis wilt can be quick. That means you may not have any warning before an entire clematis vineturns brown.

Hummm... so do you live in Canada or Buenos Ares>??

It could be that the container they are in is too big. The top layers of soil are the first to dry up so if a container is too large for the plants, the nutrients and water could be washed down beyond the smaller plants reach. I would start by having the soil tested at a local plant and tree nursery. Over time minerals and salts can build up in soil to levels that may be tolerable for a larger plant that has grown in that soil it\'s entire life, but will mean doom and death to smaller plants or different types of plants. If the soil tests ok,. then I\'d try a smaller container. I\'m no expert, this is just from my own experience. Hope it helps.

Clematis is a wonderful flowering vine that is known to many
in the gardening world as the "Queen of the Climbers".

While clematis takes a few years to establish a strong root
base before it hits it\'s stride in the blooming department, it is definitely worth
the wait.

This plant climbs up to 12 feet high and spreads 3 to 4 feet
wide.


If planting more than one follow the steps below spacing the
plants 3 to 4 feet apart.



In the spring or early summer, dig a hole one foot deep and one foot wide.




Mix the soil from the hole with compost, working it until it maintains a loose
rich texture.

Ideally this should leave you with a very dark soil.





Create a mound in the bottom of the hole using the
enriched soil.


Place the plant above the mound and allow the roots to trail
over the mound.




Cover the roots and fill in the hole with the enriched
soil, keeping the crown of the plant about 2 inches below the soil level.

This plant likes shade on the bottom and sun on the top.




Water at planting and regularly for the first season,( I
prefer to water in the morning or evening and do so every other day.) after
that you should only need to water in extreme dryness and drought.



Install a piece of trellis or fencing behind the Clematis
to give it support as it grows and a foothold for climbing.



To promote blooming and keep your Clematis healthy, prune
as needed after the blooming season, and in preparation for the blooming season
prune in late March each year.
