I have a root bound 'Crystal Fountain' in a gallon nursery can that is showing signs of life and the only thing I know is that it needs a bigger container .... Smiling

I live in the mountains of northern California and get somewhat cold temps in winter and very hot temps during the summer months.

I bought this plant on impulse because it was on sale and was already not looking all that good last fall.

This is going to sound awful, but I put it on the patio and had planned to select a site for it and plant it out last fall. I forgot it was there ... Sighing! It looked totally dead when I was cleaning up the patio work area for winter, so I just set it aside.

It has grown 10" in the last week. It's certainly not dead .. Smiling

I need to pot it up into a container for this season. How large of a container should I pot it up to ? Do clematis need a heavy or light container potting soil? Should I wait to feed it ?

In other words, I really do not know what to do with this plant and would love some advice.

Thank you in advance.
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
