Reproductive Management of Flos Lonicerae

The propagation method of Flos Lonicerae can be propagated by cutting, sowing, striping and ramet, mainly by cutting and sowing.

1. Cuttage propagation is generally carried out in summer. The environment of high temperature and humidity can make the cuttings take root quickly and have a high survival rate. Select 1 ~ 2-year-old strong branches, cut into 15~20cm long cuttings, retain the upper half of the leaves, remove the lower half of the leaves, and insert them into the seedbed. Watering thoroughly after planting, keeping the soil moist, it can take root after 2-3 weeks, and blossom in summer after transplanting the following year.

two。 Sowing and reproduction are usually carried out in the first ten days of April. After the fruit of honeysuckle is ripe in October, the pulp is harvested and removed, the seeds are dried in the shade, and then stored in low temperature sand until the following spring. Soak the seeds in 25 ℃ warm water for one day and night before sowing, take them out and mix them with wet sand, place them indoors to accelerate germination, and wait for 30% of 40% of the seeds to sow. Or soak the seeds in 30 ℃ warm water every day, soak them out and put them in a cloth bag to promote germination. After 15-20 days, some of the seeds will split, and then they can be sown in the seedbed. After sowing, straw can be covered or shaded by curtains, keep moist by spraying water every day, and seedlings can emerge in about 10 days. Strengthen the management after emergence, the seedlings should be too dense and time seedlings, in order to improve the growth environment, prevent the occurrence of blight, but also spray l:l:200 Bordeaux solution to prevent.

Striping propagation is generally carried out in spring and summer, can take root in the same autumn, and can be separated from the mother plant in the next spring. Ramet propagation can be carried out in spring and autumn.

Cultivation and management of Flos Lonicerae should be carried out in the early and middle of March. When planting, rotten barnyard manure should be applied as base manure, but no more fertilizer will be applied later. If you want to make the flowering densely used for harvest, you should apply fertilizer twice before flowering, pay attention to ploughing and weeding, and water it in time according to the drought. In order to make the honeysuckle grow luxuriantly and the plant shape is symmetrical, it is necessary to carry out shaping and pruning, to cut off the weak branches and the old branches that disturb the plant shape during the dormant period, to facilitate the renewal and concentration of nutrients, and to cut off the shoots properly for the robust branches to facilitate the germination and growth of the axillary buds at the base of the following year. The heart should be picked after flowering to improve the quantity and quality of the second batch of flowers.
