Bought this plant for 6$ at Home Depot because it’s in shit condition, what can I do to make her thrive?
Currently in probably a 6 inch pot. Just got her so I have no idea the watering schedule or if she’s been fertilized. Currently have her a couple inches away from my window. I plan on keeping her outside once she’s stronger
Honestly she looks fine and the best thing you can do for her is bung her outside ASAP in either the actual ground or in a pot with peat free compost.
They’re an outdoor plant, they thrive outdoors.
Pinch out that spent flower, and water when dry. That’s about it.

Clematis like sunny spots or half shade, so outside is a good place for this. Give it something to clone outside as well.

Clematis are heavy feeders so dig the hole larger than the pot it’s in. Fill half with well rotted sheep or steer manure, mix with the soil from the hole and plant. Water well.
Clematis like hot tops and cold bottoms… so a shady spot for the roots/crown that will allow it to grow up into the full sun!

Nothing wrong with it. Just plant out and give it something to climb. They like their heads in the sun and their roots in the shade.
