Care Tips for a Happy Clematis
Clematis is a grateful flower and if you treat her right, she has a vase life of 10 days minimum. In a warm or dark environment, the life span will be shorter, in a cool and light room, the flowering stems can last up to 3 weeks. Here are a few tips that reveal 'the secret' to this long life span and fresh-looking flower that makes your arrangement 'pop'.A Heavy Drinker
Clematis is a heavy drinker. She loves fresh, clean, cold water, and lots of it. The thirsty clematis, therefore, dislikes small water tubes and floral foam.

Flower Care
When preparing the Clematis for your bouquet or arrangement, use clean sharp scissors to cut off the bottom part of the stem. As for nutrition, we recommend Chrysal (universal) flower food. If you remove some of the foliage, the flowers will last even longer. Make sure to take off a few of those leaves if you like your Clematis to shine for at least those 10 days.Light & Cool
Place your vase with Clematis in a spot where it is as light as possible but not in direct sunlight. These sturdy flowers do last best in a cool place. If the vase will be placed in a warm room, make sure to put the vase 24 hours in a cool place, prior to placing it in its warm spot.
General Care Tips
As for every flower, there are two more things to keep in mind when taking care of your blooming beauties. Make sure to not place them near a fruit bowl. The presence of the fruit accelerates the aging process of the flowers. Use a clean vase; preferably clean the vase first with bleach or detergent. If you stick to the care tips above, you will be rewarded with a long vase life and fresh, dainty looking Clematis a.k.a. 'Dancing Queen' according to Klaus Wagener:
