How to shape the old vines of honeysuckle for potted plants

Step 1: Cuttings

In early spring, cut off sturdy old vines that are 20 to 25 cm long and more than 3 cm in diameter , and insert them into a deep cylindrical pot filled with sandy culture soil, with 6 cm exposed on the top. After watering them sufficiently, place them in a shaded place for maintenance.

Step 2: Trim

After the honeysuckle sprouts and grows new vines, select two new vines and cut off the others from the base. The two new vines left are pinched, one long and one short, and then wired Tie them up in a coil so that they twist and grow to one side, and then tie them up again when secondary vines emerge.

Part 3: Modeling

After the beginning of autumn, remove the plant from the deep cylindrical pot and replace it with a rectangular shallow bonsai pot. Plant the old vine obliquely and horizontally in the pot. Straighten the roots downward and place them in the pot, exposing the upper half of the old vine. Cover it with moss or wet burlap pieces and water it frequently to keep it moist.

Stop watering after October , wait until the moss is dry, then peel it off to expose the old vines, then use the power of the lead wire wrapped around the side vines to twist the shape at will.
