    It will be ok to do this, but I'm not so sure I would feed them so often. You would be better off going a week or even two, or three between feedings. Definitely don't feed them during dormancy. They will not be able to use all of this nutrients during this time, and will likely develop a high salt content in the soil. It won't hurt the plant to give it a heavy pruning, and can actually help it out quite a bit.

    If you have any concern about when to trim them then it is best to wait until right before you get new growth in the spring time. Here is an article with more information on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/clematis/growing-clematis.htm

    This sounds like a bacterial or fungal infection. This is most likely caused by overwatering, or standing water, if the container does not have adequate drainage. It is likely that the plant will not make it for very much longer, but you can add wettable sulfur to it to try and bring it back. It will likely do better outside in ground than it will in container.

    You probably have a Group 3 clematis variety, because these varieties die back in winter, even in regions with a warm winter. That's a good thing, because it allows those varieties to produce more flowers when they regrow. Your clematis should regrow in the spring. It's best to prune them in late winter or early spring as described here:

    Bees Jubilee blooms from May to June and a second time from August to September. It is a member of Pruning Group 2.
    Niobe blooms twice also, at similar times of year as Bees Jubilee.
    Both are members of Pruning Group 2, so follow the instructions for Pruning Group 2 in these articles:
    https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=109
    https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=346

    (Niobe can optionally be pruned as a Group 2 or a Group 3.)

    It does appear to be clematis, but it is really hard to tell at this point. There are a few reasons why these will be reluctant to flower. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/clematis/growing-clematis.htm
