The leaves of variegated honeysuckle have golden edges and have high ornamental value. When purchasing, choose strong plants without diseases and pests.

The tools and materials needed to make honeysuckle bonsai include: scissors, gardening shears, gardening hoe, gardening soil, flower pot, bottom net, fertilizer, etc. When choosing a flower pot, you can choose a ceramic pot or purple sand pot that is deep in color and has good breathability.

Dig honeysuckle seedlings

Choose a honeysuckle plant with vigorous growth and dig with a gardening hoe. Note that the roots should be kept intact as much as possible. After digging, place the honeysuckle seedling in a预先准备好的 (previously prepared) flower pot.

Prune and shape

After placing the honeysuckle seedling in the flower pot, prune and shape it. Prune the main stem to the appropriate length, retain 2-3 strong main branches, prune the main branches appropriately to evenly distribute the branches, and bend and fix the branches to form a beautiful shape.

Soil and fertilization

Honeysuckle is not strict about soil, but it is best to use soil with good drainage and breathability. Add an appropriate amount of decomposed leaf soil, perlite, etc. to the gardening soil to improve the soil's breathability and water retention. During the honeysuckle growth period, apply a compound fertilizer once a month to promote plant growth.

Watering and lighting

Honeysuckle prefers a humid environment but avoids waterlogging. When watering, keep the soil slightly moist. During the high temperature of summer, pay attention to shading and avoid direct sunlight. Honeysuckle likes sunlight, so placing it in a sunny place is beneficial for plant growth and flowering.

Pest and disease control

Honeysuckle may be affected by pests and diseases such as aphids and red spiders during growth. When pests and diseases are found, spray pesticides in time for control. Keep the plant well-ventilated to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
