Honeysuckle should be familiar to everyone. When it blooms, the flowers can be picked and soaked in water. They can also be dried and stored for later use, which can be soaked directly in water whenever needed. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and is very beneficial to the body. The flowers are very beautiful and have a strong fragrance, making many flower enthusiasts like to keep one at home. However, without a yard at home, it cannot be planted in the ground. We can also plant it in a flowerpot, and we can definitely raise it well as long as we use the right method.
When growing Honeysuckle in a pot at home, the first thing we need to do is to select the pot and prepare the soil. When cultivating Honeysuckle, it is recommended to use a breathable clay pot, or a tile pot, or a red pottery pot. Try not to choose plastic pots with few bottom holes or tall plastic pots, as this can easily lead to root rot. The soil mixture must be breathable, but since Honeysuckle is a woody plant, we should add half of the garden soil to the soil mixture. Garden soil is the soil from our green belts or the ground. Mix garden soil and loose, breathable nutrient-rich soil in a 1:1 ratio. This combination is nutritious and has good breathability and water permeability, ensuring that planting Honeysuckle will not have problems. The roots will fill the pot quickly and the plant will be well-nourished, with good growth and abundant blooms.
With the soil mixture ready, the second point is to water and fertilize it regularly. How to water it? It is drought-tolerant but cannot be dry for too long. Prolonged dryness will cause the edges of its leaves to dry out, while too much watering will cause the edges of its leaves to turn black and rot. Our watering principle is to water when the soil is half-dry and then water thoroughly. During the growing season, use a multi-element fertilizer or a fertilizer high in nitrogen but not lacking in other elements. During the flowering season, which is spring, choose a fertilizer high in phosphorus, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Fertilize once or twice a month, ensuring the concentration is not too high. This way, we can grow Honeysuckle without any problems.
The third point is to provide reasonable sunlight. Honeysuckle loves sunlight, but after planting it in a pot, the strong sunlight in summer can easily burn the leaves. In summer, provide 50% shade, and place it in a well-lit area during other seasons. This way, we can prevent Honeysuckle from becoming leggy, ensuring its leaves are lush and its stems are sturdy.
If you follow these points, there will be no problem in growing Honeysuckle Bonsai. During the growing season, the branches grow very fast. When planted in a pot, it should be pruned in time to control its shape. Generally, do not prune it in spring, let it bloom, and剪 the branches whenever they grow in other seasons to make them harden and age quickly. This will make the whole plant look good and bloom more, with a stronger fragrance.
