Pot technology of honeysuckle: planting technique of potted honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is a temperate and subtropical tree species, which is sunny, shade-tolerant, cold-tolerant, drought-resistant and moisture-tolerant, and can adapt to acid and alkaline soil, but it likes loose and fertile neutral sandy loam. It is a good material for bonsai production because of its strong nature, developed root system, strong sprouting ability, light plant, graceful posture and elegant old pile.

Honeysuckle is not only a common medicine, but also a plant that can be used as an ornamental. Honeysuckle vines around, winter leaves slightly red, winter does not wither; yellow and white, blooming constantly, first white and then yellow, color and fragrance, flowers and leaves are both beautiful, spring and summer. Honeysuckle bonsai is also quite beautiful.

1. Soil

Honeysuckle is not strict on soil, barren mountain and Weir can be cultivated, sandy loam is better, pH 5.5-7 is suitable for honeysuckle growth.

2. Reproduction

Propagate with seeds and cuttings. Cuttings are widely used in producing areas because of their high survival rate and quick income.

3. Raising seedlings

In the middle and last ten days of April, choose a good basin, fill and compact, and immediately water through. In the case of drought, water should be watered every 3 days. After 15 days, it can take root and sprout and transplant in the following spring.

4. Upper basin

Honeysuckle is not demanding on soil, but it is best to use mountain mud or mainly mountain mud plus an appropriate amount of rotten leaf soil, coal ball ash and so on to prepare culture soil. The suitable time for potting is early spring.

5. Colonization

Select the basin, use soil fertilizer as base fertilizer, cover a layer of fine soil after planting, step on the soil and pour through the fixed root water. If it doesn't rain for a long time, it should be watered and moisturized to ensure that the transplant survives.

6. Transplanting

When the seedling age is one year, it can be transplanted from the Spring Equinox to Grain Rain, and the density is determined by the soil quality.

7. Fertilization

Ploughing is carried out once a year in early spring and early winter, with a depth of about 25 centimeters. Combined with mid-ploughing and weeding, fertilizer is generally applied twice a year, the first spring application of budding fertilizer, timely watering after fertilization; the second topdressing in early winter, if possible, after each flower harvest.

8. Pruning

The main purpose of the first-2 years after transplanting is to cultivate the trunk and cut off the upper branches of the trunk 15-20 cm above the ground before germination in early spring to make the trunk grow stout and sprout many new branches. In the second year, 4-5 sturdy branches were selected, and the rest were cut to grow about 15 cm, making them form sturdy, erect dwarf shrubby plants. In the early spring, when honeysuckle has not yet germinated, the withered, weak and poor upright branches will be cut off from the bottom to the top and from the inside to the outside.

9. Pest control

Diseases and insect pests of honeysuckle are less common. The main diseases are anthracnose and honeysuckle powdery mildew, and the pests are mainly aphids. During the prevention and control, it is strictly forbidden to use toxic pesticides in the budding stage of honeysuckle to prevent honeysuckle from losing its use value.
