Strange flower-raising tricks [No. 2: Torture method ~~ Make your honeysuckle branches short and flowers abundant]
First of all, let it be clear that this method is suitable for potted plants, not for ground planting. Ground planting aims for vigorous growth and can vertically green a large area. Potted plants have different requirements: the limited pot area cannot be left to its own devices; the ornamental requirements are higher, requiring better shaping; the main point is that when flowering, it cannot be as random as ground planting, but should concentrate the flowers and bloom abundantly. The following methods can help you achieve this:

In the pot, we can break the convention, not watering at night and watering in the morning when it germinates in spring; not watering too much, but a little water; so that its physiological water requirement is not met for vigorous growth, causing new branches to shorten and age. Aging branches are easy to bloom, and shortening reduces the internode distance, making the flowers more concentrated and abundant.
Two, limit fertilizer ~ Before the flower buds form, do not apply or apply as little nitrogen fertilizer as possible, relatively applying more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. When the flower buds are basically formed and the drawing is basically over, apply some nitrogen fertilizer to make it form a situation with more and larger flowers.
Three, lazy potting ~ That is, potting only once every 3-4 years. The purpose is not to let it sprout more new roots, and fewer new roots mean less absorption capacity, coupled with the aging of the potting soil, it is difficult to grow vigorously, thus achieving the purpose of controlling the tree's growth, limiting the branches, and making the flowers dense.
