Why do Clematis' leaves turn red?

Every time gardeners plant a certain type of flowers on their site, the question arises in the choice of culture. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to take care of your wards, it is imperative to invest not only knowledge, but also your soul. And then your garden will shine with splendor. Sometimes a situation arises when care is not enough and problems arise with the appearance of a disease and various pests. Clematis, a representative of a beautiful genus of large-flowered plants with the presence of magnificent flowers of a varied, rich color. Among such varieties, sometimes there are diseases of fungal origin, which are the causative agent of wilting, the most common disease of this culture. The disease, according to the degree of danger, is stronger than the rest. If such occurs, the vine of the plant dies in the shortest possible time. In our article we will discuss the most pressing questions about the prevention of diseases of the vine, about the treatment of an already appeared sore.

Features of the plant.

What is this type of flowers. This plant is a climbing liana, there are approximately three hundred species, the main habitat is a territory with a temperate climate. For private plots, mainly bred hybrids are purchased. They are distinguished by the most extensive number of large inflorescences and a wider color palette. Each liana independently tries to find support for its stately growth, with its antennae it clings to any tall plant nearby or walls, a fence, all kinds of buildings. Such a plant, in principle, is used to create hedges, decorative design of a garden, a plot. Therefore, each grower tries to initially substitute supports, to keep the plant from brittleness, stronger and more reliable materials are used for this. Any thin base has a chance to quickly break under the weight of the culture, and the vine shoots are quite fragile and in windy weather they will easily break and die.

Withering is a fungal disease.

At the sites of the fracture, in many cases, a disease-wilting, a fungus that spreads very quickly occurs immediately. The spores of the fungus are perfectly preserved in the ground, they can live there for several years, and at the right moment they begin their active life, especially in those parts of the plant where damage has occurred.
"Withering" - the name has two directions - disease. In the first case, it is a phomopsis mushroom, the second option is a fusarium mushroom.

Phomopsis wilting. Control measures.

Only at an early stage of manifestation is it possible to save the plant without causing any particular harm by using various drugs. At the first stage, the defeat of the lower, older leaves of the plant begins. Already in mid-May, it is necessary to begin regular inspection of the shoots for the presence of fungus, expressed in the heels. The spreading period is rather short, no more than 14 days; if damaged, the shoots die at a high speed, so reduce the interval between checks to a minimum. It is urgent to remove all withered leaves and shoots.It is impossible to leave the cut material, it is necessary to burn it. We use fungicides to treat the rest of the plant. With a quick response to rescue, the plant will recover quickly enough if the rest of the bush is not affected. Otherwise, the plant can no longer be saved, since the spores have already hit important parts of the plant, and the spores cannot be completely destroyed. Even processing with strong means will not save. We destroy this bush completely, and the soil around the dug bush must be treated with drugs.
Let's consider the main preventive aspects.
On the plots there should be no accumulations of foliage and shoots, already ill plants, this collection must be immediately destroyed. Moreover, do not use for compost. All spores of the fungus cannot be destroyed and you can easily contribute to the spread of the disease to new plants. Strict hygiene of the site is an important point in the care and growing of flowers on the site. Always collect fallen leaves, tools that were used to prune a diseased plant, be sure to disinfect, for example, with simple boiling water or an alcohol-based product.
An important point! High humidity will accelerate the appearance of the disease, it will become a very favorable condition for development, therefore, if the bush has grown very much, carry out preventive pruning. There must be ventilation of the entire creeper. Good air circulation and planting sites protected from constant rains are the most important salvation from fungus.

Fusarium wilting. Treatment methods.

An equally dangerous disease, the fungus is spread by spores, has a long shelf life in the soil and obsolete residues of vegetation. Fusariz begins its activity in any, even with the slightest damage, part of the plant. Weakened tissues of the shoot also suffer. From each spore, the development of the mycelium of the fungus begins, this is what provokes the blockage of all important vessels, as a result, the exchange of the nutrient composition of the plant is partially disrupted.
Plants, representatives of large-flowered varieties and younger seedlings are more affected by these diseases. As a rule, all older and weaker shoots are initially affected. A completely healthy plant is more protected from fungus. Favorable conditions for the development of sores are damaged areas of young shoots at the very base of the bush. These damages can be invisible, caused by the wind, light mechanical scratches, cuts, even a temperature drop can damage the plant. The expression of this disease is slightly different from the first case. The entire leaf cover and shoots begin to be affected above the damaged area. The color of the leaves begins to change not in a dotted way, but by framing along all the edges, changes to a more brown one, briefly moves to the middle of the leaf, and complete wilting begins. Fusarium begins to be active at elevated temperatures, from 20 degrees and above, therefore, at a later date, not earlier than the end of June, we boldly begin regular inspections of the plant.
Treatment methods.
In the second half of June, when individual, dead shoots are found, for no particular reason, prevention should be started. Most likely, the fungus is activated. We are urgently taking measures to rescue:
-all shoots, cut off at the base of the bush;
- collect and burn all fallen leaves, both seasonal and from last year;
-After the trimming procedure, we process the tools with a special tool.
Most importantly, this disease cannot be treated in a protracted stage. Fungicides won't work, just waste your time.
If the detection occurred at an early stage, measures were taken to combat in a timely manner, the plant has a chance of salvation. Of course it will take time to recover.With this disease, mycelium is not able to penetrate into the root of the plant, only the foliage and the upper part of the shoots are affected.
Preventive measures for fusarium infection.
If we talk about a very early measure, then it is necessary to acquire those varieties that are already endowed with immunity to the disease. Although this is not the only way to prevent defeat. If the seedling, already in the container, at the time of purchase, is sufficiently developed, with a powerful root system, then the very danger is over.
What can be attributed to the main stages of prevention? The correct approach to choosing a site for transplanting a seedling. We prepare the soil for the plant very efficiently. We control the humidity at the place of growth, we try to protect the plant as much as possible from gusts of wind and heavy rains. Unfavorable growing conditions initially cause the plant to become sick with Fusarium.

The main stages in the cultivation of Clematis.

-Location of the seedling. Be sure to protect from wind and heavy rain. Sudden changes in temperature also cause damage, so the site chooses sufficiently illuminated in the morning hours and in the evening. If the sun is very bright for a long period of the day, then create an artificial shading, such as a grid. Any support provided for the plant should be attached to the wall, fence, at a distance, to create good air flow, at least 10 cm from the walls or fence.
-Soil preparation and planting rules. Before the moment of planting, we must loosen the soil with high quality, remove, at the same time, all the remnants of past vegetation. If possible and if necessary, create a drainage layer using fine stone and sand. We create a barrier between the nearest plants and clematis, thus avoiding the intertwining of the root systems of neighboring crops. The roots should not be intertwined with each other. If the container, when buying a plant, is large, it can easily be used as a barrier. Just carefully cut the bottom and place it in the planting hole. To improve the structure of the soil, you can add compost or humus from the leaves, only if you are completely sure of the quality of the material, the presence of diseases on this foliage is excluded. Place the plant in the hole at a slight slope, fill up the soil, leaving a small gap. In the future, fill this gap with soil, gradually. Around the bush can be mulched with tree bark, prevents the rapid vegetation of weeds and the retention of the necessary moisture.
-Rules of care. The main mistakes when caring for a plant. It is not necessary to loosen the soil very deep and close to the base of the trunk. It is very easy to damage the root system, which is located close to the edge of the surface layer. Try not to damage the shoots with any work with the bushes. Spores of the fungus easily enter each damaged place and the infection of the whole plant begins. Standing water in the ground will weaken the bush. When watering vines, try not to get water on the leaf cover, strictly under the root. Follow all established rules when pruning. Water and feed the plants regularly until the age of two.
The root system of clematis prefers a cool state. Growing in the wild, the plant is forced to fight for a piece of sunlight, because it grows mainly at the edge of the forest where a large shadow is created. Therefore, plant hybrids growing in garden plots still prefer coolness.

We will select the varieties of the most hardy plants.

When choosing a planting material, we pay attention to the original types of the origin of the plant. For example, Clematis violet - the choice of this variety will satisfy any gardener's taste for the external qualities of the flower and the characteristics of the plant: a light, blue tone of the inflorescences, in some cases a pink color is observed.Another type of this variety has a color of flowers, a velvet purple hue. The shape of the flowers resembles bells. The species "Alba Luxurians" is endowed with large, white flowers.

There are many large-flowered clematis hybrids. But only a few of them have a good immunity to the fungal wilting disease. This group includes:

—General Sikorski- quite an early appearance, flowers of a blue tone, purple lines are located along the petals.
-Variety Pink champagne-flowering begins in the spring, the flowers are endowed with a rich pink color.
—Niobe- very early variety, flower petals, velvety to the touch, are colored dark red.
-View-Gypsy Queen-flowering occurs in the middle of summer, the pronounced, dark, purple tone of the color of the flowers attracts the attention of many connoisseurs of beauty.
-Variety-Hagley Hybrid-the main flowering time in summer, beautiful pink color of flowers, fascinates with splendor.
—Jackmanni- another representative of summer flowering, flowers are painted in blue, with a purple tint.
Among the numerous beauty of different species, rather undersized hybrids stand out, the shaping of flowers resembles tulips of Texas origin.
-Plant name-Duchess of albany-pink inflorescences, the presence of white stripes along the petals.
—Prinzess diana- beautiful flowers of rich pink tint decorate the liana.

You can summarize the topic of fungal disease-wilting. The beginning of infection can be considered the moment when you acquire low-quality planting material. Varieties for your garden must be bought taking into account good resistance to this disease, so that problems do not appear in the future. Be sure to make sure that the plant does not get weakened during growth on the site, only healthy crops, and you must create the most favorable conditions for excellent development. In the event that simple plucking of withered foliage and pruning of affected shoots, as well as treatment with fungicides, has brought a positive result, do not try to improve the situation and use, at the same time, the most powerful drugs. When a situation of large-scale damage to shoots arises, cut the plant to the level of the soil layer. The plant can be saved even with partial infection. Simply conduct inspections of the bush in a timely manner and identify infected areas. Immediately destroy all foci. Timely help will help preserve the plant, although it can recover, after that, for several years.

All kinds of diseases and pests that can cause clematis to dry out and die.

You want to exclude the appearance of diseases and pests in your plants. To do this, you need to know the most basic symptoms. To avoid the impact of these on the development and prosperity of the plant, be sure to familiarize yourself with the most effective methods of eliminating the problem of damage. The very process of treating flowers from a disease is a very difficult task, because this type of plant is quite whimsical in terms of its care requirements and the environment where they are grown. In our article, we will be able to tell you about the most common carriers of harmful effects on flowers, discuss the most striking signs of a problem and highlight the recommended methods of treatment and prevention. This information will help you avoid mistakes, react in a timely manner to the spread of the disease.
The minimal manifestation of the disease in itself does not pose a large-scale threat if the focus of infection is removed in time. But the sore tends to spread to neighboring plantations of the same or other crops. Then it becomes much more difficult to fight infection of plants, in some cases it is necessary to destroy the plant completely, since the disease can no longer be treated, the focus of infection is too large.

The reasons for the appearance of the focus of infection.

Of course, each culture has its own varietal characteristics, whether or not it is resistant to various diseases or climatic conditions. An important point of good development is the observance of all the rules of agricultural technology when working on a garden plot with a certain culture. Any non-standard change in the usual habitat gives a start for carrying out preventive work to prevent the appearance of lesions. Such a change can be unforeseen, prolonged rains or, conversely, a prolonged drought. Full development directly depends on the condition of the soil for planting and cultivation, the correct, necessary nutrition of the root system. The plant is very majestic and the roots go deep into the soil, almost 100 cm, respectively, and the soil should be nourished to such a depth. The necessary watering should be in the amount that would be enough for the whole plant, do not allow an excess of water.
Note:
- when choosing a variety, it is necessary to take into account every feature of the climate of the area where you live. Do not neglect the information on the packaging, plant a thermophilic species in cold climates and vice versa. Such a plant, even in a temperate latitude, develops with additional, diligent care;
- any violation in the rules of care can lead to the death of the flower, for example, non-compliance with the irrigation schedule, while the root system dies, and the main part of the plant is very accessible to any pathogen of the disease;
- prolonged cool, damp weather causes damage by pathogenic fungi.
Each plant requires immediate intervention and full treatment; otherwise, the culture simply dries up and dies. In some cases, this happens with the speed of the wind.

Symptoms.

To provide timely assistance, you need to know the signs of the appearance of a disease or pest. If pathology is detected, it can be eliminated. Let's consider the typical symptoms of the most popular diseases.
- withering is a disease of fungal origin, when infected, the shoots lose their elasticity, which leads to the weakening of the plant and further to death, if the necessary assistance is not provided in time. The main provocateur of the appearance of a sore is very damp weather. Signs of the appearance of a fungus - brown spots appear, foliage and young shoots suffer. In a very short period of time, the infected parts are covered with a gray shade of mycelium and spores of the pest fungus;
-mealy mildew is another, common for culture, disease, the causative agent of which is a fungus. A powdery white bloom forms on parts of the damage, young shoots are most affected. As a result, the growth of the plant is inhibited;
-rust - spots are formed on the shoots and young leaves, red (rusty) in color, in a short time the leaves completely turn purple and dry;
-alternariosis - manifestation in the form of necrosis of shoots and leaves. The main time for the disease activity is autumn. The manifestation of the disease begins on older shoots; if untreated, it begins to spread to the young parts of the plant. The plant simply dries up and dies;
-septoriasis is an equally common disease. In this case, it is mainly the leaf plate that suffers. Grayish specks appear on the leaves, bordered in red. Dying off of that part of the tissue where the stain is formed. The plant gradually weakens, and later the death of the bush occurs.

Methods for treating diseases.

How to cure this sore? Having decided on the symptoms of the appearance of infection, immediately start treatment. The origin of many diseases is the same - it is a fungus, but the treatment and preventive measures are slightly different:
- wilting can be cured by spraying foundationol, 0.2%, with a late reaction, the plant can no longer be saved, it spreads too quickly, a severe form of the disease.Medicinal solutions become ineffective, the bush dies. Therefore, in case of extensive damage, the bush should be immediately dug up and burned. Tools must be disinfected, and the soil under the dug out plant must be processed. The earthy clod where the plant grew is also disposed of;
- gray rot. At the first symptoms, we urgently start cultivating the soil around the bush. Pour with a solution of azocene or foundationol, all parts already affected by dew, urgently cut and burn, do not forget about the tool-process;
- powdery mildew - in this case, we use a soap-copper solution (copper sulfate 25 g, add 200-250 g soap, dilute with water in an amount of 10 liters). The solution is used as a spray on the bush. In the absence of the drug, it is possible to use ordinary soda ash, 40 grams + 10 liters of water;
-alternariosis, septoria, at the first signs, we begin to use any drug containing copper in the composition. Bordeaux fluid is perfect for use. The latter can easily cope with rust;
- lethargy of the plant - at what point in spring is it necessary to carry out prevention or treatment of clematis with such a disease? The very peak when a sore can appear is the beginning of active plant growth. The causative agent is the spores of the fungus, which calmly wintered in the soil, and began to be active in the spring. The root system of the plant is primarily affected, the shoots dry out and wither, which already serves as the first symptom of infection. Perhaps during planting, the rules of agricultural technology were violated and poor-quality drainage contributed to the appearance of the fungus. Perhaps there is no drainage at all and water stagnation in the soil has formed. Either you overdid it with watering, or overdid it with snow retention in winter. All these violations lead to the appearance of infection. We start treatment at an early stage. Pour the bush with foundation, add 1 g of the substance per liter of water. Cut out and dispose of all damaged parts of the plant. For prevention, in early spring, spray the plant with a solution of copper sulfate, 3%. From traditional medicine, dusting with simple wood ash will help. The plant itself can be watered with a solution of ash and water, an excellent result in the form of prevention. Do not forget to regularly, but carefully, without damaging the roots, loosen the soil around the bush and be sure to collect weeds;
-vilt-we can say double two-wilting, simple symptoms, loss of elasticity of shoots, allows you to identify the appearance of a sore at the earliest stage. The plant withers and, as a result, dies. This disease belongs to the category of the most dangerous diseases. It spreads very quickly, and every inexperienced gardener simply believes that this is the reason for insufficient watering. And the plant dies rapidly at the same time. The cause of the sore is a very large load of the root system during active growth and the budding process. At this stage, it becomes the most vulnerable, and it is at this moment that it is most likely to get sick. An important point! It is very difficult to identify the disease at an early stage, improper watering of the plant can serve as a provocation, violation of the rules of cultivation is another reason for infection. Improper weeding and loosening can lead to mechanical, sometimes unnoticeable, damage - mechanical wilting. With sharp and strong wind gusts, the plant can also be damaged, the shoots curl. Tissues are damaged, this symptom is not infection, but many confuse such symptoms. Just tie the vines to the supports to avoid such damage. What measures should be taken when Wilt is found? Be sure to feed the soil well both during planting and throughout the cultivation. Then the plant will develop healthy, but there is no need to make an excess of fertilizer. Clematis reacts negatively in such a situation.A large amount of nitrogen is unacceptable, it will serve as an indirect cause of the activation of the disease. Constant weed control, various fungi become active in the thickets. When identifying the first symptoms, be sure to start treating the plant with foundation. A large-scale defeat by Wilt cannot be cured with more than one drug, therefore the bush must be destroyed with the appropriate treatment of the planting pit and all the tools that were used in this case.

Pests of Clematis.

Danger to the plant is not only carried by various diseases, insect pests are no less dangerous. Their activity can also lead to the death of Clematis. The main target of the pest is young shoots and foliage. As a result of the wrecking of insects, the plant weakens, is not able to independently deal with such a problem. And as a result, it completely dies. Constant control is necessary on your part, inspection of the plant to identify the presence of a pest. Timely start therapy for the treatment of a flower, the destruction of insects. When choosing planting material, be guided by the description of the variety, be sure to study the characteristics. Try to choose a species that has a well-developed immunity to all infections and pests. Below we will consider the most popular pests:
-Aphid. Insect, settles mainly in colonies. Locations are the bottom of the sheet plate. The main food is the juice of the plant. An almost instantaneous color change occurs, the appearance is lost at times, then the leaf begins to curl and dries completely. A large-scale invasion in a short time leads the plant to death;
- Spider mite - the leaf plate is again affected, but the manifestation of a slightly different nature. First, multiple white dots are formed, then a web envelops the entire leaf. the tick almost completely sucks out the juices, without which the plant weakens, the consequence is the death of the bush;
-Slugs - the affected area is mostly single, night time is the time for the activity of slugs. In this case, leaves and stems suffer, the pest eats away completely. A massive invasion will lead to the death of the flower if timely rescue is not provided.
What treatment is most effective for the misfortune of harmful insects?
Consider traditional medicine. The most popular, effective and affordable is a green soap with potassium in its composition. Rub a piece on a regular grater, dilute in water until completely soluble. Wipe the sheet plates with a solution. Yes, the result is obvious. But! A big minus is very time consuming and energy consuming. The plant is very large, sometimes it is necessary to replant. And when you have more than one bush on the site. The inference method is very time consuming.
Consider another option, an infusion of celandine. It is applied by spraying.
Let's turn to chemicals. Acaricides and insectoacaricides are very effective. Dangerous, do not use without studying the instructions. The drug is toxic, dilute strictly according to the recipe. 1 liter of water + 1 mg of the drug. 2 liters of the resulting solution is applied to 10 square meters of planting. This remedy is most effective for spider mites. Folk councils recommend spraying with a solution of ordinary dish detergent + water, to the state of liquid soap.
When attacking slugs, it will help to spray with a solution of water and ammonia: 1 liter of water + 2 tablespoons of ammonia. Spray the Ferramol preparation on the territory of the site, you can use ordinary baits. After the slugs have accumulated, simply pick them up with your hands and destroy them.
Important advice! However, try to avoid using heavy artillery in the form of chemicals to combat the problem. Early prevention is no less effective, but environmentally friendly and safe for the culture and the environment.
Dangerous enemy-Nematoda. In most cases, damage to the tissue composition of the bud and leaves begins. The color is almost completely brown. Damaged bushes dry, the plant dies. If you do not start immediate treatment, the rest of the plantings in your garden will die. The reasons for the appearance of the pest are unweathered weeds, the acquisition of infected planting material. Prevention methods:
-when buying seeds, cuttings for planting, pay attention to the quality of the manufacturer. Before sowing, heat treatment of seeds with hot water; weed removal;
- the infected areas cannot be completely cured, the treatment does not allow the infection to spread further along the bush, therefore, it is recommended to cut out the affected areas and dispose of them.

Spring and autumn processing of plants from various pests and diseases.

For the best resistance to infections in Clematis, proper, regular care is necessary. After transplanting, top dressing is recommended to be applied no more than 2 times a month. Foliar dressing is applied after complete germination of seeds and active development of a young plant. Minerals must be used at the time of bud formation and subsequent flowering.
As a preventive measure, use a solution of copper sulfate, using the method of root processing. In the spring, watering with vitriol no more than 1 time in 7 days. After watering, it is necessary to mulch the soil, it helps to retain moisture around the plant.
Whenever you decide to grow clematis, then the schedule of preventive work on this site is definitely considered. Deviation from the standards of care leads to negative consequences. The usual solution of foundation, 0.1%, treat the seedling before transplanting. We observe the interval between treatments, 14-21 days.
Untimely yellowing of the foliage begins, many options are possible. For example: -the plant needs the addition of a nutrient composition; -fungal diseases have become activated; -insect pests have appeared on your plantings, which feed exclusively on the root system. Treatment is of course necessary and urgent. But, first you need to establish what kind of problem you are facing this time. Having found out, be sure to start saving the plant. Perhaps there is a chance if help is provided quickly.
Rust, a disease that passes at a slow pace, does not cause widespread damage. Manifestation in the form of a brown or yellow swelling on the leaf blade and young stems. The plant begins to deform. The leaves dry and fall off. At the same time, the formation of new, young leaves continues, the process of photosynthesis has not gone anywhere. It turns out that rust is not able to completely destroy the plant, but it perfectly tolerates winter cold. Therefore, in the spring, it will easily transfer all its strength to younger trunks. And then, the plant still faces imminent death. In this case, it is recommended that the treated bushes, in the fall, be sure to cut off to the very base. It is better to burn the cut out part. Perhaps after cutting, the bush will not be able to fully recover in the new season, it will not bloom, but during the summer young, already healthy shoots grow, which will bloom beautifully in a year and will delight you with their health and beauty. Conclusion-pruning can completely preserve the diseased bush. When destroying diseased shoots, do not forget about the weed around the bush, the pest will perfectly be able to winter there too. It is very easy to treat rust, the main thing is to immediately start treatment, immediately when the presence of spots on the leaves is found. We apply Bordeaux liquid, 2% solution. We spray. Stronger treatment-polychoma, copper oxychloride, oxychom.
Spotting is the cause, pathogenic fungi. Manifestation, partial yellowing of foliage.
Today there is a wide variety of parasitic fungi. A very difficult question constantly arises, which kind of mushroom has harmed your clematis.In some cases, the presence of several parasites, causative agents of the disease, the external signs are versatile, the color of the spots on the leaf plate is completely varied on one plant. However, smart people have improved the methods of treatment, combining them into one harmful group, respectively, and the treatment can be carried out with one drug.
-Ascohita-fungus, expressed in the formation of brown spot of a dark shade.
-Cylindrosporium-forms spots of a yellowish tone.
-Septoria-spotting of a gray shade, along the edge of the spot there is a red border.
The colors of the spots are different, and the harmfulness from the presence of the fungus on your plantings is equally dangerous - photosynthesis is disturbed, and accordingly the plant gradually dies. The plant weakens under the influence of the pest, practically no useful nutrition is supplied to the entire flower, the root system is almost unprepared for the winter period. There is a chance that the flower will not die in winter, but there will be no result for the next season. Very few blooms, the usual splendor is absent.
To combat the fungus, preparations containing copper are used. Spray the plants with iron or copper sulfate, preferably in spring and autumn. In the summer, spray with Bordeaux liquid, you can use its substitutes. All damaged areas are subject to mandatory destruction.
Mosaic yellow - viral disease. Insects that feed on the same caterpillar plant, aphid mite, honeydew, and sawfly larva become the spread of this virus. Clematis must be treated with an insecticide. Already at the stage of prevention, in order to prevent the appearance of any pest. The mosaic begins to appear with spots, yellow in color. Most viruses generally make the leaves colorless, sometimes invisible to the naked eye. All damaged shoots and leaves must be cut off and burned. The plant itself is urgently treated with colloidal gray, potassium soap or karbofos. There is no special remedy for the treatment of mosaics, but however, all of the listed drugs are capable of destroying both the virus and the causative agent of the disease. There is such a host plant. If it grows on your site, especially in the vicinity of clematis, the host should also be treated. This crop is affected by the same pests and diseases, so they can easily move from crop to crop.
Mushrooms that live in the root system and cause yellowing and wilting of the bush. In this case, the fungus is not activated on the leaves, but settles in the roots. But in this case, the foliage still suffers, it turns yellow, as a result of which the plant dies.
Phomopsis is a mushroom parasite. It penetrates into the roots from the soil layer. Then he moves directly to the escape. Pycnidia develop is the most breeding ground for the fungus. Already from this nursery, it spreads to the entire bush.
Verticillium is also a mushroom. Distribution occurs through the roots to the entire plant, is activated together with moisture, wilting begins, the foliage turns yellow. The bush starts to rot.
Coniotrium mushroom parasite. It is activated on the lower parts of the plant. The lethargy of the bush begins, then yellowing and complete death.
Yellowing of foliage, lethargy of the flower, can occur with a sharp drop in temperature, especially in winter, with constant thaws. Thickening plantings also lead to yellowing and wilting. Increased acidity of the soil, stagnant water in the absence of good drainage. All of the above reasons must be eliminated immediately. And in the best option, calculate all the points of cultivation and choose the right site for clematis. Already at the first signs of the appearance of any infection, urgently treat the bush with a foundationol solution, at the root. Use this drug for prophylaxis in spring and autumn, create an obstacle to the further development of the fungus, but the fungus is not completely destroyed. Remember this.From folk remedies, carry out the mulching method around the bush: mix sand with ash, where ash is 1 part, sand is 10 parts. This tool contributes to the deoxidation of the soil, if there is a problem with this, therefore, it will prevent the appearance of another disease.
Nematoda, the larva of the May beetle, is another crop pest. Roots begin to eat up, and the plant turns yellow. In this case, treat the plant with a solution of manganese, very weak, or a sludge of a solution of water with ash.
Clematis has a variety of 300 and more varieties. Growing area - any part of the land, excluding Antarctica. The plant itself is quite unpretentious in care. But!!! Symptoms of diseases are very similar in many diseases, therefore, even a very experienced gardener finds it difficult to find out the cause of yellowing, the most important thing is to promptly provide treatment.

Types of clematis and related diseases.

Each variety and species has significant differences.
- perennial, herb: Manchurian clematis, Texas are herbaceous plants. The peculiarity is the death of shoots at the end of the growing season;
-semi-shrub, whole-leaved clematis, hogweed, especially the lower parts are lignified, have the ability to persist for more than one season. The top of the plant dies off at the end of the season;
-shrubs, varieties of the Florida subgroup, Patens, Vititsella. The difference is in completely lignified shoots that perfectly tolerate winter cold;
- varieties of low-growing bushes, used to create various alpine mountains, site decoration. A beautiful carpet of flowers is formed, in some cases it replaces the ground cover plant on the site. It gets along well next to jasmine, peony, lily. Liana plant, the main direction for vertical landscaping. A gazebo, an arch, a terrace, a balcony and many other buildings are used as a support. Tangus clematis must be adapted to the support.
How to provide proper care for the culture.
-Before planting on the site, add the necessary nutrients, for example, compost, manure, but always rotted;
- ample, regular watering. The soil should be constantly moist to a depth of 40 cm. Only warm, or summer temperature, water is suitable;
-after each watering, the next day, carry out loosening;
-remove the winter shelter and immediately tie up the young and main shoots;
- for wintering, be sure to insulate the plant with spruce branches;
- during active growth, bring in the necessary nutrition, it is also necessary to do this during the budding period.
The amount of fertilizer you apply during the growing season depends on the state of soil fertility on the site.
Why does clematis still fade?
One of the common diseases is Wilt (from English-wilting). The main signs of the presence of the disease can be observed in the last days of June. Leaves and shoots suffer. The wilt begins to actively live in the root system, since it is a fungus, it spreads very quickly. The causative agent of the sore can calmly winter and develop in the soil and on weed residues. That is why, before wintering, they collect all the weed and process the root area of ​​the soil. Why is a mushroom dangerous? There is a blockage of blood vessels and subsequent intoxication of the entire surface of the plant, which leads to wilting.
This mushroom winter comfortably in the bowels of the earth, this serves as the basis for its longevity. This means that the plant is in danger for several years, even with timely processing, since the mushroom cannot be completely destroyed. Experienced growers recommend spilling the plant with a fungicide regularly, at least two weeks. Do this procedure annually. Yes, it takes a lot of time, but it's better than doing maintenance work and still seeing a deplorable picture in the form of plant wilting.Watering should be started with the onset of the growing season. The amount of solution is calculated: up to 5 liters per one bush.
What to do when the first signs of the disease are found.
-under the very base, cut out all the shoots affected by the disease;
-treat the remaining parts of the plant and the soil around the bush with foundationol, potassium permanganate, a weak solution, an emulsion in the composition of soap and copper;
Important information!!! Never store cut, infested shoots, much less in a compost heap. Everything must be burned.
How to carry out preventive work to prevent wilting.
The main thing is to remember that the sore begins to be active in the root system, always work carefully in the root zone, any mechanical damage will lead to infection. Preventive work:
-be sure to protect the plant from the appearance of pests: snails, slugs and others;
- to carry out loosening around the plant very carefully;
-all stems are subject to a garter, thus avoiding damage from climatic conditions: strong wind, gusty rain;
- when cutting out diseased shoots, always disinfect all tools;
-selecting a site for planting with plenty of sunlight and mandatory protection from strong winds.
Clematis is already growing on your site, but you do not know how to properly protect it. Always carry out maintenance work. Any disease and damage by a pest leads to a spoiled external appearance. The plant loses its attractiveness, but most importantly, the plant dies without proper treatment and proper care. Below we list other diseases that are less known, and the essence of the same bush is dying.
-Rot Gray - the causative agent is a fungus, brown plaque indicates the appearance of a fungus, the shoots and the leaf plate are damaged. The main reason for the appearance is prolonged rainy weather in summer. High humidity. Already on top of the spots, after a fluffy bloom is formed, these are the mycelium of the fungus, its spores. In windy weather, spores spread at the speed of the wind. It gets on healthy parts of the plant. This type of fungus is very voracious, which is why neighboring flowering plants also suffer. If rot is found, immediately conduct a thorough inspection of the entire plant and remove all damaged parts, be sure to burn it. Remove everything carefully, without particularly shaking off all the spores on healthy leaves and shoots. Another, beloved strawberry culture, suffers from this gluttony. Therefore, we work very carefully with contaminated material without harming neighboring plants. How to cure a bush? After the destruction of the detected infected parts, treat the main plant with foundationol, it is possible to apply an azocene, 2% solution. Again, prevention - in the spring and autumn, shedding all the soil around the bush with foundation, this is the most effective and less dangerous remedy that copes well with many diseases.
-Rust. Did you find rusty pads on the leaves and shoots early in the spring? This is the first manifestation of the disease. Further, the leaves are already curled, deformation occurs, the leaves dry. In the event that you did not react, the plant is able to survive, overwinter, but in the spring the renewed disease passes already on young shoots, then the situation becomes more complicated. The plant may die. The mushroom remains overwintering in those damaged areas that you did not remove during preparation for the winter: dry foliage, uncut shoots, weeds. The mushroom especially loves to spend the winter on wheatgrass, so be sure to remove all thickets. How to get rid of rust? If detected, we apply a spraying with Bordeaux liquid. You can replace the drug with copper oxychloride, polychom, oxych.
-Necrosis. Fungal disease. Begins to activate on outdated shoots, practically dying off, in the autumn. There is no particular danger. If you do not react, it begins to hit the younger shoots and leaves.Dark olive stains are formed. The leaves are deformed and the plant begins to wilt. How to cure necrosis? Treat with any preparation containing copper. Collect and burn all obsolete shoots and fallen leaves.
-Spotting. The appearance, as a rule, comes from the activity of any fungus. According to external signs, they are completely different, it is practically very difficult to recognize which mushroom has caused harm. It is possible that several types of fungus parasitize the plant. Do not be alarmed and use the necessary advice from experienced florists. The usual manifestation time is summer. The affected area grows by the fall.
Spotting leads to the loss of the appearance of the plant, there is no purpose - to create a decor. All these signs indicate the need for treatment. Not only the appearance is deteriorating, but also the health of the plant. The number of peduncles decreases, and later completely disappears. Most importantly, the bush is slowly dying.
Clematis treatment measures for spotting. A large number of parasitic fungi cannot tolerate preparations containing copper. In the spring we process it with copper or iron vitriol, in the summer we use Bordeaux liquid. Be sure to remove all infected vegetation.
All viral diseases, yellow mosaic, for example, a rare visitor to crop plantings, if properly looked after. It is transmitted mainly by all sucking pests. Karbofos, potassium soap preparations that can help in the fight against mosaic. If you delay the treatment, the bush cannot be saved.
When you have made the decision to grow clematis, be prepared for constant supervision of your seedling. The necessary prevention, proper care, adherence to all the rules of agricultural technology and the plant will delight you with its splendor for more than one season.
