Seedling raising technique of Honeysuckle Bonsai

Honeysuckle is used as park hedge, fence, balcony, flower gallery, flower rack and other three-dimensional greening in gardens, as well as ground cover materials for soil and water conservation, wind prevention and sand fixation. Honeysuckle not only can be planted on the ground, but also can be used as a potted ornamental.

There are three culture methods of honeysuckle: seed culture, strip culture and cuttage culture. Cuttage culture is widely used in production. Because this method can maintain the excellent characters of the variety, and can quickly produce a large number of high-quality seedlings.

Seedling raising techniques of Honeysuckle Bonsai:

1. Sowing and reproduction

The ripe fruits were harvested from August to October, the pericarp was washed with clean water, the seeds were harvested and dried, and then stored in a cloth bag at low temperature to the next spring. Sowing seeds from late March to early April, soaking seeds in 25 ℃ warm water for one day before sowing, then mixing wet sand into cloth bags and putting them indoors, heat preservation with rice straw (straw, thatch, etc.). When the seeds of more than 1 stroke 3 are exposed, they are sown in loose, fertile and well-drained sandy soil, and seedlings can emerge about 10 days after sowing. It was transplanted to the nursery in the spring of the following year and was generally cultivated in the pot after sowing for 5 years.

2. Cuttage propagation

In the middle and last ten days of June, the full semi-lignified branches of the same year were cut as cuttings, each section was about 15~20cm long, and the bed soil was kept moist. I sprayed the cuttings, and it took about 25 days to take root. It was transplanted to the nursery in the spring of the following year and cultivated in the pot 4 years later.

3. Ramet propagation

In spring and autumn, the seedlings sprouting from the roots of the mother plant were dug up (separated by a sharp knife) and transplanted to the nursery with roots, which could be cultivated in pot for 4 years.

4. Striping propagation

In spring and autumn, take the longer branches of the mother plant, bury them in the soil for about 5cm, deep 2~3cm, keep the soil moist, take root in the same autumn, separate them from the mother plant in the nursery the next spring, and cultivate them in the pot 3 years later; or select the vigorous and elegant branches in the Meiyu season for high pressure, cut off the mother plant and cultivate them in the pot directly after rooting, this method takes faster forming time.
