Cultivation techniques of Flos Lonicerae

Honeysuckle has strong adaptability, and the choice of soil and climate is not strict, and the sandy loam with thicker soil layer is the best. Hillsides, terraces, Weirs, dams and barren hills can all be cultivated. Propagation can be done by sowing, cuttings and root splitting. Bud and blossom on the new branch of the year. Soil requirements are not strict, acidic, saline-alkali soil can grow. With developed roots and strong roots, it is a good soil-fixing and water-conserving plant, which can be planted on hillsides and river embankments, so the agricultural proverb says: "waterlogged crops, dry grass, frozen pomegranates and sunburned melons will not affect honeysuckle."

Seed Propagation of cultivation techniques of Honeysuckle

Sow the seeds in April, soak the seeds in warm water of 35-40 degrees Celsius for 24 hours, remove 2-3 times wet sand to promote germination, and sow seeds when the split □ reaches about 30%. Sow seeds in trenches on the border according to the row spacing of 21: 22 cm, cover the soil with 1 cm, spray water once every 2 days, emerge in more than 10 days, transplant after autumn or in the spring of the second year, use about 15 kg of seeds every 1 hour.

Cutting Propagation of cultivation techniques of Flos Lonicerae

Take place in the rainy season. In the overcast and rainy weather in summer and autumn, the sturdy, disease-free, 2-year-old branches are cut into 30cm and 35cm, and the lower leaves are cut off as cuttings. On the selected land, the hole is dug according to the row spacing of 1.6m and the plant spacing of 1.5m. The depth of the hole is 160cm, each hole has 5cm cuttings, scattered oblique standing in the soil, the ground is exposed about 7cm, and the fill is compacted (the sandy soil with good air permeability is the best). [11]

The cutting branches should pay attention to shade before taking root, so as to avoid the branches drying up caused by direct sunlight. Cuttings can also be used to raise seedlings; from July to August, according to the row spacing of 23 cm 26 cm, trench, depth of 16 cm, plant spacing of 2 cm, put the cuttings obliquely into the ditch, fill compaction, take the sandy soil with good permeability as seedling soil, root the fastest, and is not easy to be attacked by bacteria and cause branch rot. After planting, it was sprayed with water, and then when it was dry, it should be watered every 2 days, it could take root in about half a month, and transplant in spring or autumn of the first year.

In the second year after planting, you should set up flower racks or move close to hedges and walls in order to find things to cling to, winding and climbing.

Three or four years later, it is appropriate to carry out a shearing to cut off the cluttered and crossed branches, otherwise it is too crowded and easy to cause aphids, insects and other pests; at the same time, it can promote ventilation, light transmission, and conducive to flowering. It is also necessary to water the flowers in a timely manner during the drought season so as not to make the flowers fall due to drought. Amoy rice water, wash fish, meat dirty water, fully fermented can be irrigated. If aphids and shell insects are found to be harmful, they should be sprayed with 1500 times dimethoate or soaked in tobacco leaves. Soot disease is also easy to occur in high temperature and drought, which can be controlled by topiramate or carbendazim.

Friends living in the building, can also build a flower pool on the balcony, about 0.5 meters wide square, add 40 cm thick fertile soil can be planted, pull a few wires, ropes or tie up a few small bamboo poles on the balcony, let it climb; summer can not only shade, but also enjoy the flowers and smell incense, in its shade, you can plant and put other flowers.

In the overcast and rainy weather in summer and autumn, the sturdy 1-2-year-old branches without diseases and insect pests were cut into 30~35cm, and the lower leaves were cut off as cuttings. On the selected land, the hole was dug according to the row spacing of 1.6m and the plant spacing of 1.5m. The hole was deep 16~18cm, each hole had 5-6 cuttings, scattered oblique standing buried in the soil, 7~10cm exposed on the ground, left and right, and the soil was compacted. The cutting branches should pay attention to shade before taking root, so as to avoid the branches drying up caused by direct sunlight. Cutting can also be used to raise seedlings.

From July to August, according to the row spacing 23~26cm, the cuttings were placed obliquely in the ditch, filled and compacted, and the sandy soil with good permeability and permeability was used as the seedling soil, which took root the fastest and was not easy to be attacked by bacteria and caused branch rot. Spray water after planting, and then water it every 2 days when it is drought. it can take root in about half a month, and transplant in spring or autumn of the second year.

When the flowers bloom, they are first white, then yellow, white like silver, yellow like gold, gold and silver, gorgeous and colorful, so they are called honeysuckle. Also because one pedicel two flowers, two stamens protruding out, in pairs, inseparable, like male and female companions, but also like mandarin duck pair dance, so it is known as mandarin duck vine.
