How to plant honeysuckle in pots and what size pot should be used

1. Prepare the soil

When planting honeysuckle in pots, you need to prepare a slightly larger and deeper pot, but the diameter of the pot cannot exceed the crown of the tree. Potted plants need to be repotted every two years, so the pot should not be too large. The specific amount depends on the size of the seedlings. As long as the soil is loose and breathable, you can mix it with coarse sand, garden soil and vermiculite to meet its growth needs.

2. Choose seedlings

When planting in potted plants, you should choose suitable seedlings and make sure they are free of diseases and pests. It is best to choose ones that grow strong and sturdy, as this will have a higher survival rate. If one of the plants has a disease or insect pest, the potted plant will be quickly infected, reducing the survival rate.

3. Planting in pots

Prepare the potting soil, select the seedlings and then plant them in the pots. First, dig a hole of appropriate size on the surface of the potting soil, then put the seedling in, let its roots stretch out, and then carefully fill it with soil. Fill the soil and compact it well to prevent it from tilting when watering later.

4. Post-maintenance

After planting in a pot, water the plants once to allow them to take root. Water them thoroughly but do not allow water to accumulate. After watering, move it to a ventilated and dark place. Don't rush to expose it to the sun, otherwise the seedlings will be burned. In such an environment, growth will resume in about a week and then normal management can be resumed. The seedlings will consume a lot of nutrients and water during the growth period. It is necessary to fertilize regularly and water frequently to keep the soil moist.
