[Origin] Chinese [horticultural characteristics] Flos Lonicerae has strong adaptability and good vertical greening effect. It can grow well in strong sun and thin shade, and can survive the winter smoothly in most areas of northern China.

[pre-harvest management] the planting density is 3 plants per square meter. Honeysuckle likes the dry soil environment of micro-tide and is more resistant to drought. In addition to applying appropriate amount of barnyard manure as base fertilizer during planting, dilute liquid fertilizer should be applied every 10 days in the stage of vigorous growth. It likes the environment with plenty of sunlight, and it is also slightly shady. Keep the environment well ventilated. Honeysuckle prefers warm environment, the suitable temperature for its growth is 16-28 ℃, and the overwintering temperature should not be lower than-15 ℃. As honeysuckle is a climbing plant, it is necessary to set up a support for it to ensure that it has enough space to grow normally. When the plant is on the shelf, attention should be paid to pulling the side branches separately, otherwise the branches are easy to be wound together with the growth, which will bring difficulties to the harvest of cuttings.

[postharvest management] the cuttings of honeysuckle are generally harvested after the fallen leaves of the plant, because they have no leaves, so it is relatively easy to operate. Usually, the selected branches are cut directly into long segments of 30~40cm, then graded, and then bundled into the box every 20 pieces. Immediately store the processed cuttings in an environment with a relative humidity of 85%-90% and a temperature of-Lhasl ℃. The cuttings of honeysuckle can usually be stored for 40 to 60 days under the above conditions without affecting the effect of use.

[packing material] it is usually packed in 60cm × 45cm × 30cm lined tile cartons. Pay attention to the lining film, tile edge carton should be provided with air holes.
