It is the right time to plant honeysuckle in autumn and winter

Honeysuckle planting time has spring, winter or late autumn two seasons, that is, November to late March of the following year, but late autumn or early winter planting is best. New planting honeysuckle, first of all to choose the right place. Honeysuckle is not strict with soil and water conditions, and can resist drought, waterlogging and barren. However, as a kind of efficient medicinal plant, it must be intensively managed for the purpose of high yield of flowers. The results showed that honeysuckle preferred sunshine but could not tolerate shade, so it should be planted in sandy loam with sunny, deep soil layer, fertile sulfur pine soil, good ventilation and drainage, and slope below 15 degrees. If irrigation is convenient and water is available, it is better.

After selecting the land, dig the soil more than 30 cm deep and break up the clods. In our province, the planting density can be 2 meters *2 meters or 1.5 meters *2 meters, that is, 166 seedlings or 220 seedlings per mu. Before winter, dig planting ditch, ditch width 80 cm, depth 80 cm, or dig planting hole, hole size 80 cm * 80 cm *80 cm, topsoil, subsoil should be separated, and build fish scale pit with high outside and low inside. The bottom of the ditch or hole is filled with rice straw or corn straw or green weed, 4000 - 5000kg compost, 150 - 300kg calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, 3000 - 5000kg orange straw or green weed are applied per mu, or 0.2 - 0.3kg vegetable dry cake is applied per hole, or 0.15kg compound fertilizer or 15kg farm manure is applied, and the topsoil is returned to the hole. Base fertilizer should be applied deeply, mixed with soil evenly, and then covered with soil. Sloping land can be prepared with terraced soil, with a width of 1.5 meters.

When planting, first soak the seedlings in clean water for 8~10 hours, and then plant the roots with mud. It is best to put 500~700 times methyl thiophane or chlorothalonil and rooting powder with a concentration of 50 to 100 parts per million (i.e. 1g rooting powder to 10~20 kg water) in the mud to improve the survival rate of seedling planting. When planting seedlings, dig planting holes of 30cm * 30cm * 30cm, apply 0.5~ 0.75kg of human vegetable cake or 0.25~ 0.5kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer to each hole, mix the soil evenly, cover 2~ 3cm of soil on it, spread the roots of seedlings, plant them in planting holes, step on the soil tightly, and irrigate root water thoroughly (even if it rains, it should also be watered). It is required that the seedlings should be small steamed buns after planting in the holes, and the planting depth of seedlings should be close to the joint. In order to improve the survival rate of seedlings, 2/3 of the leaves must be removed before or after the seedlings are planted. After survival, through shaping pruning, make creeping vine form erect single plant short shrub. Increasing branches and enlarging crown can greatly increase yield.
