When collecting seeds in autumn, we should choose mature fruits that are robust and free from diseases and insect pests. Rinse the fruit after picking and rinse off the peel and pulp. After separation, the seeds are dried in the shade in an indoor ventilated and dry environment to remove impurities. The treated pure seeds are stored below 0 degrees Celsius and can be sown next spring.

Soak the seeds in warm water of about 25 degrees for 24 hours before sowing, then filter the water. Mix the seeds with wet sand and wait until nearly half of the seeds begin to crack and sprout.

two。 Cuttage propagation

The cutting method can ensure the reproduction rate of honeysuckle and is very effective for the reproduction of honeysuckle. The best cutting time is in the rainy season, and the survival rate is the highest. Honeysuckle cuttings can be cut in all three seasons except winter.

When cutting, we should select 1-year-old strong branches as cuttings, and leave 3 or 4 pairs of bud leaves. Rooting agents can be used to promote the rooting and sprouting of cuttings after cutting. we should pay attention to spraying water frequently and keep sufficient water.

3. Striping propagation

Between June and October, take the flowering branches of the same year, use wet mud rich in nutrients to cover the bottom, compact the 2-3 nodes of the flower branches with fat mud, and cover the grass to moisturize. After about two months, adventitious roots can be produced at the nodules, and the branches with adventitious roots will be broken one centimeter behind the nodule, so that the mother plant can grow independently, and then be planted separately.

The method of ring fertilizer can be used to fertilize, open a ring-shaped groove around the plant, apply fertilizer and fill the soil to cover it. Rain Water should pay attention to timely drainage when there are too many in the rainy season, so as to prevent stagnant water from causing damp rot of roots, falling flowers and buds, and so on.

Shaping and pruning can reduce the extra branches, which is more conducive to the cultivation of stout trunk and branches. In addition, if the extra branches are removed, the ventilation and permeability of honeysuckle bushes will be better, which is more conducive to the growth of honeysuckle.
