Pruning and shaping of honeysuckle bonsai: potted honeysuckle should be pruned in autumn and winter, leaving only one trunk with a height of 10 ~ 20cm, 3 ~ 5 main branches on the trunk, and 3 ~ 5 lateral branches on each main branch to make the whole plant "blossom". After spring, the new buds germinate and grow four new leaves, that is, when two leaves are left, the upper two leaves are removed together with the top, and two leaves are left to control the length of the spring shoots, so that the branches are short and dense and the flowers are compact. When the re-sprouted lateral branches and leaves form buds under the armpits, apply 1 thin fertilizer 1 times every 1 ~ 2 weeks to ensure more, larger and more beautiful flowers.
Pruning should be carried out after flowering, and the upper part of flowering branches should be cut short, leaving only 3 ~ 5 nodes, and some new branches and twigs should be cut off according to the specific situation to avoid wasting nutrients due to fruit or virtual growth. Through pruning, the whole plant-type stems and branches are clearly coordinated.
