How to cut Flos Lonicerae-Cuttage Propagation technique of Flos Lonicerae

According to the length of cuttings selected, cuttings can be divided into short-branch cuttings and long-branch cuttings. Short-wood cuttings are often used for mass propagation of seedlings, and long-branch cuttings are usually used for direct cutting to build gardens or to propagate semi-shaped seedlings.

Honeysuckle has the methods of cutting, striping, ramet and seed propagation, but the cutting method is the most simple and easy, with high survival rate and early flowering. When cutting, take 1-year-old strong branches (or flowering branches) as cuttings, leave 3 or 4 pairs of buds (or leaves) on each cuttage, remove the lower leaves and cut them in the seedbed. NAA can also be used as rooting agent to promote rooting of cuttings. Attention should be paid to spraying water frequently after cutting, and it can take root 2-3 weeks after cutting. Spring seedlings can be transplanted in autumn, and summer and autumn seedlings can be transplanted in the following spring.

Entering autumn, this time is the best time for honeysuckle seedlings, the survival rate is higher, the following is to introduce the cutting methods of honeysuckle.

Cutting time:

It is best to choose cutting in summer and autumn overcast and rainy season, when the soil and air humidity is high. Because the temperature drops in autumn after cutting, there is a period of root growth, and the emergence of branches will be guaranteed at the beginning of spring.

Methods / steps:

1. Honeysuckle is easy to feed, can survive through cutting, and can be cut in spring and autumn. Usually you can break a branch and come back when you play in the wild or at a friend's house.

2. Fold a few sturdy branches without diseases and insect pests. In order to improve the survival rate of cuttings, it is recommended to pick a few more branches, not those that are too tender.

3. Remove the leaves at the bottom of the branches and prepare flowerpots and soil. The soil can use the usual soil for growing flowers and vegetables, and add some sand.

4. Place the branches for 24 hours, wait for the wound to dry, and then cut it into the pot soil.

5. Next, put the flowerpot in a cool and ventilated place. In order to reduce the risk of failure, you can cut a few more branches, preferably in spring or autumn.

6. Keep the potted soil moist all the time, but don't water too much. In short, don't wait until the soil is dry and white. If the temperature is right, you can grow roots and small leaves in half a month.

7. When new leaves are grown, you can apply fertilizer or something. If the flowerpot is too small, you can change to a large one. I believe that after less than two years of planting, the soil is fertile enough, and if the basin is big enough, it is not difficult to climb the whole railing. And can also produce fragrant and beautiful flowers!
