Honeymoon potted cultivation methods and matters needing attention
Planting honeysuckle on the balcony can not only admire the elegant posture of the vines, but also harvest flowers of medicinal value. However, there are significant differences between potted honeysuckle and local cultivation. Only by mastering scientific maintenance methods can the plants grow healthily. Based on actual maintenance experience, this paper systematically combs the complete cultivation system of honeysuckle potted plants. Precise control plan for water and fertilizer for the three elements of potted honeysuckle growth Potted honeysuckle needs to adopt the "see dry and wet" watering method. Water is watered thoroughly every 3 days in spring and autumn, and water is replenished once in the morning and evening in summer. It is recommended to use decomposed cake fertilizer and bone meal in a ratio of 3:1, top dressing every 15 days during the growth period, and add potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution during the bud appearing period. During the winter dormancy period, fertilizer needs to be completely stopped to avoid burning roots. Cyclical management of light intensity honeysuckle has phototaxis. It is recommended to maintain direct light for 6 hours a day. You can use rotating flower pots to evenly receive light. Cover 30% shade at noon in summer to prevent leaf burns. In winter, it should be moved to the southbound sill and cooperated with a fill light to extend the light to 8 hours. The core technique of modeling and pruning: Keep 4-6 main branches during the spring germination period, and adopt the "top removal and side promotion" pruning method. During the growth period, the heart is picked every 2 weeks and combined with aluminum wire to create a cliff or water-style shape. Cut off residual flowers in time after flowering, and keep 2 pairs of leaves to promote new branches. The entire process of pot replacement operation at key nodes for advanced maintenance is changed every two years in the spring. Red pottery pots are used to match the substrate of legus soil: river sand: vermiculite =5:3:2. When pruning roots, keep 1/3 of the original soil mass and cut off the black rot roots. After changing the pot, place it in a cool place to slow down the seedlings for 7 days, while spraying the leaves to maintain humidity during this period. During the period of high incidence of aphids for comprehensive pest control,(Y-J) biopesticides are sprayed every week, and red spiders can be controlled with matrine aqueous solution. Spray baking soda solution (1g: 500ml) at the beginning of powdery mildew, and use azoxystrobin suspension when severe. Regular cleaning of fallen leaves can reduce the spread of disease.
Through scientific water and fertilizer management and shape control, honeysuckle potted plants can be viewed all year round. Mastering the timing of pot change and pest prevention skills can keep the plants vibrant. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record flowering cycle and growth data, and gradually form a personalized cultivation plan.
