Hi all,

My romana clematis is dying, so I pruned it down and removed it out of the planter. Underneath the clematis is soil with a lot of white particles. I am sure they are not perlite. What happened? Above the soil level, the clematis seems to be overwater, but the soil deep down is not wet at all.

PLEASE HELP!!! What should I do now? The bareroot clematis is laying there. I don't know what I should do to save it.

Thank you for your help. Please, any tip will help.
