How to plant honeysuckle planting technique of honeysuckle

Whether we say that Chinese culture is broad and profound, the Chinese nation is the embodiment of wisdom. Take traditional Chinese medicine, for example, many nameless grasses in the countryside have become good medicine for curing diseases and saving lives after being tasted by their ancestors. Honeysuckle, a country flower, has gradually become a rich flower that can earn real gold and silver.

How to plant honeysuckle

1. Timely pruning: pruning is carried out after falling leaves in autumn to before sprouting in spring, generally light pruning of strong branches, strong pruning of weak branches, and pruning of all branches. When pruning, attention should be paid to ventilation and light transmission after the new branches grow. The thin and weak branches, withered old branches and basal branches are all cut off, and the pruning of the plots with poor fertilizer and water conditions is heavier, and the old branches are cut off with the aging of the plant to promote the development of new branches. The young plants are mainly cultured plant type, which should be cut lightly. There are generally 4-5 trunk branches in mountain land and 1-2 trunk branches in plain land, and the trunk should be cut off slightly to make it thicker and upright.

2. Reasonable shaping: shaping is carried out in combination with pruning, which in principle is based on fertilizer and water management, promotes as a whole, makes full use of space, increases the amount of branches and leaves, makes the plant type more reasonable, and can obviously increase flower and high yield. The flowering time after pruning is relatively concentrated, which is convenient for harvest and processing. Generally, the branches can be upright after pruning, and the removal of thin and weak branches and basal branches is beneficial to the formation of new flowers. Cut the flowers after picking, apply quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer once after cutting, and water once to promote the next stubble flowers to grow early, so that flowers can be harvested four times a year, with an average dry flower yield of 150,200kg per mu.

3. Cultivating soil and weeding: honeysuckle is planted 3 times a year for soil cultivation and weeding, the first time for new leaves, the second time before the second flowering time, and the last time before frost in late autumn and early winter. The purpose of soil cultivation is to prevent the flower roots from exposing to the ground, and it is recommended to be carried out at the same time with fertilization. Weeding should start from the periphery of the flowers, far and then near, and be careful not to damage the root system.

4. Reasonable topdressing: within the first 1-2 years after planting, honeysuckle is the stage of plant development, with more fertilizers such as human and animal manure, plant ash, urea, potassium sulfate and so on. After 2-3 years of planting, more fertilizers such as livestock manure, barnyard manure, cake fertilizer and calcium superphosphate should be applied at the beginning of spring every year. Appropriate amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be applied after the first crop flower harvest to provide sufficient nutrients for the next crop flower. Every year after sprouting in early spring and when the first batch of flowers are harvested, open ditches are poured with human feces and urine, chemical fertilizer and so on, with 250 grams of each kind of fertilizer.

Pruning techniques of Honeysuckle

1. Fixed stem: in the year of spring planting or the second year of autumn planting, the stem is fixed when the branch is about 33 cm long. The trunk generally chooses upright, sturdy branches, cutting off the upper end of about 16 cm-27 cm from the ground, and the second step is to select lateral branches, leaving 3-5 sturdy branches with uniform distribution and no shade on the trunk, and cut off the slightly end of 2/3. After fixed dry pruning, 50 grams of urea and 100 grams of superphosphate were applied per pier, and weeding was often carried out.

2. Winter shears: a winter pruning is carried out after the beginning of winter. The main purpose is to cut off the branches growing on the trunk and leave a small number of mother branches that can blossom next year.

Planting conditions of Flos Lonicerae

1. Soil conditions

Honeysuckle is not strict on soil, and can grow and blossom on sand-stone mountain coarse bony soil, limestone cinnamon soil and general saline-alkali soil. 2. Water condition

Honeysuckle has a strong ability to resist drought. On the coarse-bony soil with a moisture content of about 10%, general tree species have wilted, while honeysuckle still grows and blossoms normally. When the soil moisture condition is suitable, the plant grows vigorously, the crown width is large, and the yield is high. When the soil moisture is too large, the leaves are easy to yellowing and falling off.

2. Temperature condition

Honeysuckle has a wide range of adaptation to temperature. It can safely survive the winter at minus 30 degrees in winter, sprout and spread leaves when the temperature is above 5 degrees in spring, and the fastest shoot growth is at 20-30 degrees in summer.

3. Lighting conditions

Honeysuckle likes light, and when the light is sufficient, the plant is strong, the flower quantity is large, and the yield is high. If the light is insufficient, the shoot is slender, the leaf is small, and the yield is low. Therefore, honeysuckle should be planted on hillsides or Weirs with plenty of light, not in forests, valleys or shady slopes.

The harvest of honeysuckle

The best time to harvest honeysuckle is in the early morning and in the morning, when the flower buds are not easy to open, full of nutrients, strong smell and good color. The harvest in the afternoon should end before sunset, because the blooming of honeysuckle is restricted by light, and the mature buds will open when the sun lags behind, affecting the quality. Without young buds or leaves, put them in a basket woven with strips or bamboo after harvest. Do not pile them in large piles when concentrated. They should be laid out and placed for no more than 4 hours at most.

With the increase of planting number and the accumulation of experience, the planting technology of honeysuckle has been gradually developed and improved. The editor just made a simple collection and arrangement here. The real technology and skills still need to be accumulated and discovered in person, and the content about honeysuckle will become more detailed because of us later generations.
