I. Trunk Selection
To make the bonsai more ornamental, when selecting materials for the bonsai, choose trunks with well-developed roots, thick stems, with curved changes, compact and short tree shapes, and natural contraction transitions. Moreover, honeysuckle bonsai does not have high requirements for soil; a sandy loam soil with a thick layer of soil is sufficient.
II. Fertilization and Watering Management
To dwarf the honeysuckle bonsai and make the vines more ornamental, it is appropriate to reduce watering and avoid excessive growth. Generally, water can be added when the potting soil becomes dry and white, water thoroughly at once, and pay attention to the accumulation of water in the pot to avoid root rot. In terms of fertilization, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before bud formation to promote the formation of flower buds and increase the number of flowers; during the period when branches stop growing and during the budding stage, appropriate nitrogen fertilizers should be applied to make the flowers large and colorful.
III. Shaping and Pruning
Appropriate pruning can make honeysuckle bonsai look better. Timely pruning of weak branches, withered old branches, basal branches, and old branches is required, following the principle of light pruning for vigorous branches and strong pruning for weak branches.
IV. Precautions
Generally, honeysuckle bonsai needs to be repotted every two to three years because the roots have aged, and the nutrients in the potting soil are also insufficient. Regular potting can make honeysuckle grow in a better environment. In addition, although honeysuckle bonsai usually has no diseases or pests during cultivation, a few plants may still develop brown spot or powdery mildew, so it is necessary to pay attention to treatment, and pest control should be carried out promptly.
