# Dead or Alive? I’m a novice. I had someone plant a clematis for me…

_Geplaatst door Dancing Queen op 2024-05-12_

Dead or Alive? I’m a novice. I had someone plant a clematis for me last May and this is how it looks today. Dead or alive? What do I do to resurrect because even as a novice I can tell it’s not doing well.

It honestly looks like it’s being eaten up by bugs or some other animal!

Oh wow, yes I guess it does look like that. Any idea what I should do?

You could try making a mixture of 1 part vinegar-3 parts water and spraying it on the leaves! It’s a natural way to keep the bugs away without hurting your plant in the process :)
