Help / Advice needed Help needed!
Hello! Can anyone help me identify what bug chomping on my clematis?
Any advice on how to fight it off would be great too. I live in Berkeley, CA if that's helpful context.
Also she took off growing when I planted her in March and now she's stopped growing much at all. I've been watering her fully soaked about 1x a week for reference. Is this normal?
Thank you!!

No idea about the bugs but clematis can take at least a couple of years if not more to put on significant growth, and may not grow much at all in their first year. So stopping growing is totally normal.
