The transplanting season of honeysuckle is usually in spring or autumn. Its transplanting can be divided into seedling transplanting and plant transplanting. Either way, it is best to do it in spring and autumn, specifically between February -3 and 10- 1 1 month. The survival rate will be higher if the temperature is suitable. In addition, we should also pay attention to giving sufficient seedling delay time after transplanting and putting it in a ventilated and cool place for ten days until the root system grows and the transplanting is successful.
Cuttage propagation of honeysuckle is generally carried out in rainy season. In rainy weather in summer and autumn, select 1 ~ 2-year-old branches that are robust and free from pests and diseases, cut them into 30 ~ 35 cm, and use the lower leaves as cuttings. On the selected land, dig pits according to the row spacing of 1.6m and the plant spacing of 1.5m, and the pit depth is 16 ~ 18cm, and each pit has 5 ~ 6 cuttings, which are scattered and obliquely buried in the soil, with 7 ~ 10cm exposed.
Honeysuckle planting method
1, timely pruning: pruning shall be carried out after the leaves fall in autumn and before germination in spring. Generally, strong branches are lightly cut, weak branches are strongly cut, and all branches are cut. When pruning, pay attention to the ventilation and light transmission after the new branches grow. All weak branches, withered old branches, basic branches, etc. It should be cut off, and the plots with poor fertilizer and water conditions should be trimmed heavier. Old branches should be cut off to promote the growth of new branches. Young plants are mainly cultivated plants and should be lightly cut. Generally, there are 4 ~ 5 main branches in mountainous areas and 1 ~ 2 main branches in plain areas.
2. Reasonable shaping: combining shaping with pruning, in principle, giving priority to fertilizer and water management, improving overall, making full use of space, increasing the amount of branches and leaves, making the plant type more reasonable, and obviously increasing flowers and yield. The flowering time after pruning is relatively concentrated, which is convenient for harvesting and processing. Generally, branches can stand upright after pruning, and removing weak branches and basic branches is beneficial to the formation of new flowers.
3. Cultivate soil and weed: cultivate soil and weed honeysuckle 3-4 times a year, 1 time when new leaves grow, the second time before the second flowering, and the last time before the frost in late autumn and early winter. The purpose of cultivating soil is to prevent flower roots from sticking out of the ground, and it is suggested to combine fertilization at the same time. Weeding should start from the periphery of the flower tree, first far and then near, and be careful not to damage the root system.
