When growing盆栽 such as geraniums, Chinese pink, flowering crabapple, and Chinese roses on balconies and terraces, it is also a good idea to consider growing a pot of honeysuckle. If there is an uncovered terrace or a small rooftop garden, growing a honeysuckle plant is really great. It has flowers in two colors, golden yellow and light red, usually blooming in spring. The flowers are numerous and fragrant, and they are very easy to care for. They climb very fast and are simpler and easier to manage than growing Clematis or wisteria. They have a very strong vitality, can root easily from cuttings, and are tolerant to both cold and heat, lasting a very long time in a pot.
So, how do we care for and manage potted honeysuckle?
Firstly, try propagating a honeysuckle plant
If there are no honeysuckle plants at home, it's fine. There's no need to buy seedlings. Just pick a branch about 10-20 centimeters long from anywhere honeysuckle is growing. Spring and autumn are both good times for propagation. Simply insert the cutting into the potting soil, water it a bit, and no need for shading. It roots easily, much simpler than propagating hydrangeas or roses. It roots and grows quickly and will soon sprout.
Secondly, fertilizing management for honeysuckle
In spring, when the temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius, it is the growing season for potted honeysuckle. We should keep it in a sunny place and not forget to water it, as its branches grow fast, climb quickly, and the plant has many leaves, requiring a lot of water.
If you don't want to repot it every year, you should often water with some compost tea and loosen the soil. In spring, with plenty of fertilizer and water, it grows very fast, from a small plant to a large one, with many branches. It will also produce many flower buds in spring, resulting in a large number of fragrant and beautiful flowers when blooming.

Thirdly, pay attention to watering and providing a trellis for potted honeysuckle
When honeysuckle vines are very long and numerous, it is necessary to provide a trellis for it to climb on, or let it climb on a flower shelf or railing on the terrace, allowing it to form a gazebo. If you don't like it climbing everywhere, you can also topped it and prune, then cut the branches short, pruning it into a full, beautiful bonsai, which is also quite ornamental.
In summer, honeysuckle also requires a lot of water. When watering other potted plants, don't forget it. Although it is drought-tolerant, it is best to keep the potting soil slightly moist. In autumn, there will also be a period of vigorous growth.
In winter, as long as the outdoor temperature does not drop below freezing, it can be left outside to overwinter without needing to be moved indoors, which is quite convenient.
