What are the planting methods of honeysuckle?

1. Seed planting

(1) time: if possible, try to choose April, when the climate is helpful to its growth and germination, and the survival rate will be relatively high.

(2) seed promotion: go to the market to buy high-quality seeds. If there are relatively withered seeds, they should be selected and not planted with such seeds. Soak the full seed in warm water of 40 degrees for a day or so, when the seed is taken out after the crack.

(3) planting: just plant the seeds after sprouting into the soil, cover it with a layer of 1cm soil after sowing, spray water properly every day, and wait 7-10 days for seedlings to grow.

2. Branch planting

(1) time: this method should be carried out during the rainy season as far as possible, but do not choose winter, which is disadvantageous to the roots of the branches.

(2) pruning: a section of branches with good growth condition should be cut, and the length should be controlled at about 30-35cm. Use scissors or cut off the leaves at the bottom of it directly.

At the same time, the effect of heat preservation can also be achieved by wrapping plastic or building a greenhouse.

4. Pruning: after the harvest of honeysuckle every year, the lateral branches of honeysuckle are basically removed, then an appropriate amount of main branches are retained, and then they form a trend of horizontal growth, so that in the coming spring, new branches and leaves will grow in the places that are cut off, so as to increase the yield of honeysuckle and reduce the diseases and insect pests of honeysuckle at the same time.

Generally speaking, honeysuckle is easy to grow, you can choose to sow seeds after soaking, or you can cut a section of cuttings and plant them well, as long as you do a good job of lighting, water and fertilizer, pruning and so on.
