How to propagate honeysuckle and what to pay attention to

Honeysuckle propagation method

There are three ways to propagate honeysuckle: seed propagation, cutting propagation, layering propagation, and division propagation. Among these propagation methods, the most suitable way to plant it is cutting propagation, because the growth rate after planting is the fastest. This method is recommended when planting.

Honeysuckle seed propagation

Honeysuckle seeds can be propagated, but it takes a long time and is troublesome to plant, so it is not recommended.

Honeysuckle breeding time

If honeysuckle is propagated by cuttings, it can be planted in spring, summer and autumn. In the south, it is best to plant it in the rainy season. Using this method, its growth rate is the fastest and its survival rate is the highest.

Honeysuckle division propagation

Honeysuckle is propagated by division, which needs to be used during winter hibernation, and the mother plant needs to be dug out. Then the roots and the roots above the ground are properly pruned to avoid the mother plant from dying due to excessive pruning, so reasonable and appropriate pruning is required.

Honeysuckle cutting propagation

Honeysuckle is propagated by cuttings, which is the fastest and most effective method. It can basically survive all year round, and the rainy season is the best time for cuttings.

Honeysuckle seed propagation

When sowing and propagating honeysuckle, you can pick the ripe honeysuckle fruits, scrub them, peel and remove the flesh, leaving the seeds, and store them in a place with a temperature of zero to five degrees Celsius until sowing in the spring of the following year.

Hydroponic honeysuckle propagation

When hydroponically cultivating honeysuckle, you need to select the branches, and then choose a water bottle according to the size of the branches. Put about one-third of clean water in it, let the bottom of the branches slightly touch the water surface, but do not insert it all in. You can add some growth liquid to the water to promote rooting.

Precautions for honeysuckle breeding

When propagating honeysuckle, you need to pay attention to the soil that is suitable for growth. It is recommended to use loose and fertile soil. Note that its growth rate is also the fastest, and there must be sufficient sunlight. Fertilization should be carried out in spring and autumn every year.
