How to plant honeysuckle
Today, the editor will introduce how to plant honeysuckle and the contents related to the planting and maintenance of honeysuckle green plants and flowers. Let's follow the editor to take a look!
Honeysuckle has strong adaptability and does not have high requirements for soil. It is enough to choose deep sandy soil for maintenance. During the breeding process, it should be provided with sufficient light conditions and ensure sufficient fertilizer and water, and corresponding temperature control measures should be taken to keep it in a warm environment. The following is a detailed explanation of the breeding methods and precautions for honeysuckle.
I. Methods for planting honeysuckle
1. Seed planting
(1) Timing: If possible, try to choose April, as the climate at this time is beneficial for its growth and germination, and the survival rate will also be relatively higher.
(2) Seed priming: Buy good-quality seeds from the market. If there are dry and shrunken seeds, they should be selected and not used for planting. Soak the plump seeds in warm water at 40 degrees for about a day, and remove them when the seeds crack.
(3) Planting: After the seeds have germinated well, plant them in the soil. Cover them with a layer of 1cm of soil after sowing, and spray water appropriately every day. It will take 7-10 days for the seedlings to sprout.
2. Cutting propagation
(1) Timing: This method should be carried out as much as possible during the rainy season, but not in winter, as it is not conducive to the rooting of cuttings at this time.
(2) Pruning: Cut a section of a healthy branch, about 30-35cm long. Use scissors or directly cut off the leaves at the bottom.
(3) Cutting: After the branch is treated, insert it into the soil, leaving only about 7-10cm above the ground, and finally press it down with soil.
II. Precautions for planting honeysuckle
1. Light: In spring and autumn, it is generally normal and does not require too much attention to light. However, in summer when the sun is very strong, we need to prune the honeysuckle in the planting area to provide some shade, and in winter, we can do some保温 management. Basically, maintaining at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day is sufficient.
2. Water and fertilizer: Fertilize twice a year in spring and autumn, and use organic and chemical fertilizers according to the habits of honeysuckle. Arrange watering reasonably according to the growth status of honeysuckle at different stages. It is best to water after fertilizing each time, as this can dilute the concentration of the fertilizer and not easily damage the roots. Finally, water according to the changes in climate and temperature to maintain the normal growth of honeysuckle.
3. Temperature: The optimal temperature for honeysuckle growth is about 18-28 degrees Celsius. However, the seasonal temperature changes in our country are relatively large, so in order to make honeysuckle grow better, it is necessary to strengthen the management of field temperature in daily management. This can usually be achieved by watering and building shelters to lower the field temperature, and by wrapping plastic or building greenhouses to keep warm.
4. Pruning: This is done after the honeysuckle is harvested every year. Generally, the lateral branches of honeysuckle are basically removed, and an appropriate number of main branches are retained to form a horizontal growth trend. In the following spring, new branches and leaves will grow from the pruned areas, which can increase the yield of honeysuckle and reduce diseases and pests.
II. Matters to attend to when planting honeysuckle
When breeding honeysuckle, water it every 3-5 days to keep it moist, fertilize it once every 10 days in spring and autumn, and keep it in a sunny place to receive more than 6 hours of sunlight, and prune the vigorous branches and leaves. Pay attention to changing the pot every 3-4 years, loosening the soil from time to time, and managing pests and diseases to keep it vigorous. Do not spray pesticides during the flowering period.
1. Water and fertilizer management
Honeysuckle is relatively drought-resistant. When maintaining, water it every 3-5 days to keep the soil moist, and use river or rainwater as the most suitable water source. It is also necessary to apply a thin cake fertilizer once every 10 days during the growing season in spring and autumn to provide sufficient nutrients for growth.
2. Sufficient sunlight
In the methods and precautions for breeding honeysuckle, it is necessary to provide sufficient sunlight because honeysuckle loves light, and only after receiving enough sunlight can it bloom better. Allowing it to receive more than 6 hours of sunlight can make it bloom more.
3. Pruning of branches and leaves
Honeysuckle grows rapidly and should be pruned in time when breeding. Its long and old branches should be cut off to promote the growth of new branches and occasionally thin the dense branches to give them enough space to receive sunlight and grow and bloom better.
4. Precautions
(1) Pot changing and loosening soil: Unlike general potted plants, honeysuckle only needs to be repotted once every 3-4 years, but it is necessary to loosen the soil properly to keep the growth soil loose and not compacted, and remove the weeds on top without damaging the roots.
(2) Pest and disease control: When breeding honeysuckle, it is necessary to prevent and treat pests and diseases. Regularly spray the relevant liquid to prevent it from being harmed by pests and diseases. Stop spraying before and after the honeysuckle flowers to avoid residual chemicals in the flowers that could cause phytotoxicity.
