The latest course on planting techniques and methods of Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is a kind of flower medicine of honeysuckle family, which has been a kind of ornamental and medicinal plant since ancient times. Honeysuckle is used as greening in many places, has a strong climbing ability, its flowers are also relatively bright, has a high ornamental value. It also has the effects of anti-inflammation and tonifying deficiency, Liao wind detoxification and so on. So how to grow honeysuckle? The following editor brings you the planting technology of honeysuckle, let's have a look!

1. Planting environment

Honeysuckle has a strong growth ability, although it likes to grow in places with plenty of light, it also has a strong shade tolerance. We should choose a permeable soil with plenty of water and fertile water. Do a good job in soil preparation, remove previous crops and weeds, and then apply sufficient base fertilizer, which should be based on mature organic fertilizer. After finishing the soil, it should be planted at an appropriate time, usually in the spring and autumn of each year. Because the environment during this period is very suitable for the growth of honeysuckle, its survival rate will be greatly improved.

2. Methods of reproduction

There are two propagation methods of honeysuckle: sowing and cutting. Among them, cutting propagation is the most commonly used, and cutting propagation is generally carried out in cloudy and rainy days. First of all, we should select the sturdy, pest-free branches that grow within two years, cut them from about 32 centimeters away from the base, and remove the leaves at the bottom. Control the row spacing and dig the cutting hole on the cutting substrate, and the depth is kept at about 17 cm. Five cuttings are inserted into each cuttage hole, and the aboveground part is retained about 9 centimeters, and then compacted with soil. Before the cuttings take root, shading measures should be taken to prevent direct sunlight from causing water loss.

3. Timely transplanting

If cuttage is directly used to raise seedlings, then at the end of summer every year, the row spacing should be controlled at about 25 cm, and the seedling ditch should be dug to control the depth and plant spacing. Insert the cuttings directly into the seedling ditch to ensure that the soil is permeable enough to promote the rooting of cuttings. After it is done, we should also do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests to avoid the damage of cuttings, resulting in the failure of cutting. It should be watered immediately after planting, and it should be watered about 2-3 days according to the actual situation. Generally, it can be transplanted and planted in the following spring.

4. Key points of management

Shaping and pruning is an indispensable management work when planting honeysuckle. We should control the pruning strength according to the growth of branches. Improve the permeability and promote the growth of honeysuckle. Of course, the most important thing is fertilizer and water management. We should take fertilizer and water management measures according to the growth age, weather and soil conditions of honeysuckle plants. Fertilizers are mainly farm manure and compound fertilizer to meet the nutrition needed for the growth of honeysuckle. Then control the amount of water, do not over-watering, to prevent stagnant water, resulting in honeysuckle root rot, causing diseases and insect pests.

The above is a brief introduction to the planting technology of honeysuckle. The growth cycle of honeysuckle is relatively long, but it can be harvested for many years after entering the flowering stage. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
