Honeysuckle not only has a pleasant name, symbolizing wealth and happiness, but it is also highly ornamental, which is why honeysuckle pot plants can be seen in many people's homes. Before cultivation, it is first necessary to prepare a tree stump with well-developed roots, a compact and short shape, and a deep layer of sandy loam soil. In daily maintenance, when the potting soil becomes dry and white, it is necessary to water thoroughly; before the bud formation, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and during the period when the branches stop growing and the buds are forming, apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer; it is also important to trim weak branches, withered old branches, basal branches, and old branches promptly. In addition, it is necessary to repot every two to three years and carry out disease and pest control work. Next, we will introduce from four aspects: tree stump selection, fertilization and watering management, shaping and pruning, and precautions.
1. Tree Stump Selection
In order to make the盆景 more ornamental, when selecting materials for the盆景, it is necessary to choose a tree stump with well-developed roots, a thick trunk, with bending changes, a compact and short shape, and a natural contraction transition. Moreover, honeysuckle pot plants do not have high requirements for soil; it is sufficient to choose sandy loam soil with a thicker layer.
2. Fertilization and Watering Management
In order to dwarf the honeysuckle pot plant and make the vines more mature and ornamental, it is necessary to reduce watering appropriately to avoid the occurrence of excessive growth. Generally speaking, water can be added after the potting soil becomes dry and white, and water thoroughly at once, while paying attention to the accumulation of water in the pot to avoid root rot. For fertilization, before the bud formation, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and less or no nitrogen fertilizers to promote the formation of flower buds and increase the number of flowers; during the period when the branches stop growing and the buds are forming, an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to make the flowers large and colorful.
3. Shaping and Pruning
Appropriate pruning can make the honeysuckle pot plant look better. For weak branches, withered old branches, basal branches, and old branches, it is necessary to trim them promptly, following the principle of light pruning for strong branches and heavy pruning for weak branches.
4. Precautions
Generally speaking, honeysuckle pot plants need to be repotted every two to three years because the roots have aged and the nutrients in the potting soil are also insufficient. Regular repotting allows honeysuckle to grow in a better environment. In addition, although honeysuckle pot plants basically have no diseases and pests during cultivation, a few plants may still have brown spot or powdery mildew, so it is necessary to pay attention to treatment in normal times, and clear pests in a timely manner, doing related prevention and control work.
