    Hi, I have a clematis Nelly Moser, and the other day i noticed the leaves drooping, so i cut the stems back to just above ground level today i noticed another stem is drooping.

    I was wondering if this is clematis Wilt, or some other problem with the plant, it is in a pot, I water it every day, sometime twice a day with this dry spell.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    It may just be the metal twist cutting into the stem , rather than using a softer tie even string would be better
    Wilt mormaly effect a whole stem then the others follow very quickly doing the same thing starting with one or two leaves then the whole thing just collapses , I would wait and see what happens

    Wilt starts at the bottom and works up the stem. Lack of water because of damage to a stem starts at the top and works down.

    It`s certainly not Clematis Wilt, or the tie being too tight. I think you are OVERwatering. Leave the watering can alone for a few days.:D:dbgrtmb:
