Honeysuckle has been renowned since ancient times as a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying. It has a sweet and cold nature with a fragrant aroma. The sweet cold clears heat without harming the stomach, and the fragrant aroma can also dispel evil. Honeysuckle can not only disperse wind-heat but is also good at clearing blood toxicity. The following is an introduction to the seedling cultivation techniques for planting honeysuckle from the Agricultural Friends Network.
Honeysuckle breeding can be done using methods such as cutting propagation, seed sowing, and dividing plants. In practice, cutting propagation is commonly used. It is generally carried out in early spring before new buds sprout or in September to October in autumn, with a higher survival rate in early spring. The seedbed should be selected in a near-water, wind-protected, and sunny virgin land, preferably with fertile and moist sandy loam soil. Fertilize and till the land, deeply turn 30-33 centimeters, and make flat ridges 66-70 centimeters wide.
Honeysuckle seeds can be sown in rows or broadcast. Row sowing has a row spacing of 20-25 centimeters, furrow width of 10 centimeters, and depth of 5-10 centimeters. The cutting materials should be selected from 1-2-year-old branches, cut into 20-centimeter-long cuttings, remove the lower leaves, then make horizontal furrows on the bed with a row spacing of 27-30 centimeters, furrow depth of 12-15 centimeters, and bury the cuttings 2/3 deep into the soil at a plant spacing of 10 centimeters. Press the soil firmly, and water daily if there is not enough rain. Spring cuttings can take root in half a month.
During the seedling stage of honeysuckle, it is important to frequently remove weeds, lightly loosen the soil, and appropriately apply nitrogen fertilizer and animal manure water. Generally, it can be transplanted and planted from October to November of the same year or in early spring of the following year.
