Matters needing attention in planting Flos Lonicerae

Honeysuckle is a very common traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification. It is often used to treat wind, cold, fever and other symptoms. Honeysuckle can be planted in most parts of our country, which shows that it has strong adaptability to the environment. Secondly, honeysuckle is famous in many parts of our country. Although honeysuckle is relatively simple to grow, there are still some places that we need to pay attention to. Next, let's take a look at its planting precautions.

1. Variety

Now there are many varieties of honeysuckle, there are some honeysuckle itself is not used for flower production, so the yield is very low, then this variety of honeysuckle is not suitable for planting. Although honeysuckle does not have high requirements for the environment, it still has conditions suitable for different varieties, that is to say, the same variety is planted in different places, so the yield is also different. therefore, when planting, we need to choose varieties with high yield and high quality according to the specific conditions, and must not be fooled by seed sellers.

2. Time

There are mainly two most suitable planting times for honeysuckle planting, namely, from February to June and from September to December every year. The survival rate of honeysuckle planted in these two periods is the highest, and the growth, yield and quality of honeysuckle are affected by the environment and climate. The most important thing is that planting honeysuckle during these two periods can avoid high temperatures and frequent periods of diseases and insect pests. In this way, the yield and quality of honeysuckle can be improved to a certain extent.

3. Lighting

Honeysuckle is a kind of light-loving plant, so it has a great demand for light, but in some specific periods of time, we still need to give it shade management. first of all, it is generally normal in spring and autumn. You don't need to worry too much about the light, but when the summer sun is very strong, we need to prune the honeysuckle to cover the buildings. The second is that in winter, an appropriate amount of insulation management can be carried out. Basically keep at least six to eight hours of light a day.

4. Fertilizer and water

Honeysuckle also needs scientific fertilization and watering, so the main thing to pay attention to fertilizing honeysuckle is to apply fertilizer in spring and autumn every year, and to reasonably use organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer according to the living habits of honeysuckle. Watering should be arranged reasonably according to the growth conditions of honeysuckle in different periods, and it is better to water every time after fertilization, so that the concentration of fertilizer can be diluted. It is not easy to hurt the root, and finally it is watered according to the change of climate and temperature, which can maintain the normal growth of honeysuckle.

5. Temperature

The best temperature for the growth of honeysuckle is about 18 to 28 degrees, but in China, the temperature difference in the four seasons is relatively large, so in order to make honeysuckle grow better, so in the daily management, it is necessary to strengthen the management of the field temperature, usually by watering and building shelter to achieve the effect of reducing the field temperature. At the same time, the effect of heat preservation can also be achieved by wrapping plastic or building a greenhouse.

6. Pruning

In the process of the growth of honeysuckle, we should pay attention to the reasonable pruning of branches and leaves of honeysuckle, usually after the harvest of honeysuckle every year. In general, the lateral branches of honeysuckle are basically removed, and then an appropriate amount of main branches are retained. Then let them 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 that the yield of honeysuckle can be increased. At the same time, it can also reduce the diseases and insect pests of honeysuckle.
