How to plant honeysuckle in pots? How big a pot should I use?

1. Prepare the soil

When potting honeysuckle, choose a slightly larger and deeper pot. The specific size should be determined according to the size of the seedling, and the pot should not be larger than the crown of the tree. And the pot needs to be changed after a certain number of years of maintenance, so the pot doesn't need to be too big. There are also requirements for the soil. It must be breathable and loose. It can be mixed with coarse sand, vermiculite and garden soil, which can basically meet the needs.

2. Planting seedlings

After the potting soil is prepared, the seedlings can be planted in the pot. When planting, first dig a hole on the surface of the potting soil, then carefully place the seedling in, allow its roots to stretch out, and then slowly fill it with soil. After filling the soil, compact it, water it thoroughly, and do not let the seedlings tilt.

3. Post-planting management

Newly planted seedlings should not be placed in light, but should be moved to a cool and well-ventilated place. It will take about a week for them to resume growth and can be managed normally.

4. Post-maintenance

The growth rate of honeysuckle vines grown in pots is relatively slow, and their consumption of water and nutrients is limited, so be careful not to water them too much or too frequently, and there should be no accumulation of water in the soil. If there is continuous rainy weather, you must avoid it or drain the water in time to prevent root rot. Fertilizer should be applied in small amounts and frequently, and the specific type of fertilizer should be determined according to the growth stage. For example, applying phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer before flowering can promote the formation of flower buds. Stop applying fertilizer in winter and apply base fertilizer in spring.
