When growing Headachevine, it is important to pay attention to the soil type you are using. This plant is very sensitive to dry soil and needs a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still be well-draining and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great options to provide the Small Leaf Clematis with the nutrients and moisture it needs.

Before planting, make sure to mix compost or manure into the soil for extra nutrients. Also, make sure to water the Headachevine regularly, making sure to keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. With the correct soil and watering regimen, the Headachevine will thrive and bring lots of beauty to your home.
