Honeysuckle has developed root system and strong adaptability to soil. Potted honeysuckle can grow a large pot of honeysuckle with only one flower branch. Honeysuckle is usually pruned in late autumn to prevent freezing injury and promote the germination of new buds in spring when winter comes, so it is very necessary to master the illustration of potted honeysuckle pruning.

First of all, explain the four steps of pruning potted honeysuckle. Generally, honeysuckle is often pruned after flowering. During the period of honeysuckle planting 1 ~ 2 years, the main part is cultivation. When the height of the trunk reaches 30 ~ 50 cm, the top can be slightly cut off to promote the germination of lateral buds. Only by mastering the planting technology of honeysuckle can the yield of honeysuckle be improved.

1, flat top pruning

From the above picture, we can see that the pruning schematic diagram of honeysuckle potted plants is that after the flowers wither, all the flower branches need to be pruned into flat tops in time, and then the branches should be thinned, the useless branches should be removed, and 4-5 thick branches should be kept to ensure that the branch spacing is kept between 8cm. This is also a basic pruning method for how to raise honeysuckle.

2, plastic pruning

Pot pruning of honeysuckle can not only increase the yield of honeysuckle, but also make the plant look more beautiful. When pruning honeysuckle, leave a trunk with a natural round head, leave three trunks for umbrella branches, and leave 3-5 nodes for each branch before subtracting the upper part.

Step 3 erase the buds

The main purpose of pruning honeysuckle after full flowering is to remove weak branches and keep strong branches. Cross branches, drooping branches, dead branches, weak branches and pests can be treated first. Then, the flowering mother branches are reserved for pruning, and 3-5 nodes are reserved, so that all buds sprouted at the trunk and rhizome base of honeysuckle are removed, and the nutrient consumption is reduced.

Step 4 throw away dead branches

Pruning dead branches is the last pruning step of honeysuckle potted pruning map, and it is also for the renewal and rejuvenation of honeysuckle branches. Remove all branches of potted honeysuckle that are not erect enough and branches of pests and diseases, and ensure that the trunk is not straight, supported artificially, and the middle trunk is not straight and wound upwards. #p# Subtitle #e#

Second, the attention of honeysuckle potted pruning 1, spring bud.

Every spring, when honeysuckle sprouts new buds, in order to meet the growth characteristics and modeling requirements of honeysuckle, the buds should be smeared many times every year, and the uneven new buds on each paper should be trimmed in time to avoid the entanglement of plants in the future, which will make the potted shape of honeysuckle messy. In the process of growth, long branches must be pruned in time.

Step 2 prune fragile branches

In addition to picking off new buds, the buds at the top of weak branches should also be cut off, otherwise the ventilation and light transmission of honeysuckle will be affected, and the buds at the top of normal flower branches will not bloom. Generally, newly sprouted buds need to be cut off when they grow to 20cm. Generally, every branch of honeysuckle can blossom, and the amount of flowers is very large.

Third, honeysuckle pest control 1, disease

Powdery mildew is very harmful to the leaves and stems of honeysuckle. At the beginning of the disease, white velvet mildew spots will appear on the leaves, and then gradually expand to form white powder spots. In the late stage of powdery mildew, plants will lose flowers, leaves and branches. In order to avoid the harm of powdery mildew, we can spray 500 times of 65% zineb wettable powder at the initial stage of the disease, or spray it with half the volume of Bordeaux mixture.

2. Pests

Insect pests of potted honeysuckle mainly occurred around Tomb-Sweeping Day. Usually aphids will be on the back of leaves. Aphids will shrink the leaves and buds of honeysuckle, resulting in a decrease in the amount of flowers. Regular pruning of litter and proper application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can improve the ability of plants to resist pests and diseases. If aphid disease occurs, 95% crystal trichlorfon should be sprayed with 1000 times solution to kill insects.

Conclusion: Through the above introduction, I believe everyone knows the diagram of potted honeysuckle pruning and the matters needing attention in potted honeysuckle pruning. I hope everyone can raise beautiful honeysuckle potted plants!
