The color of honeysuckle is white first and then yellow, and it is fragrant. Both the flower and the whole plant can be used as medicine, and it is deeply loved by people. It is a good material for beautifying courtyards and gardens. Many people often plant old honeysuckle potted plants on balconies, roofs, flower stands in front of houses, rockery, walls, hedges, etc. They can also be cultivated economically in the field. Is it easy to keep an old honeysuckle plant alive?In order to make honeysuckle bloom faster, many people like to dig up old honeysuckle stumps for maintenance, because old honeysuckle stumps can take shape faster and can bloom earlier. Moreover, honeysuckle is the easiest kind of flower or tree to survive . As long as the branches and trunk touch the ground, they can take root and grow . Even if the old stumps dug up do not have fine roots, they can still be maintained and survive . However, because the old honeysuckle piles have been growing for a long time, the root system is aging, the trunk will also dry up, and the germination ability is weak. Therefore, when digging up the old honeysuckle piles and transplanting them into pots, you need to pay attention to the following points. Precautions for transplanting old honeysuckle piles① Time to dig out old pilesWhen digging up old honeysuckle piles, it is best to avoid their growth period. Summer and autumn are the periods of vigorous growth of the plants, and it is best not to dig them up and transplant them during this period. It is best to transplant them in late autumn and early winter after the leaves fall, and in early spring before they sprout . Transplanting in late autumn and early winter requires good frost protection. The plant roots are damaged and their cold resistance is weakened. They could have overwintered outdoors, but newly transplanted old stumps need to be maintained indoors over the winter. For old stumps transplanted in early spring, attention must be paid to water conservation measures. Plastic film coverings or fine mist spraying can be used to prevent water loss in the roots and branches of the plants. ②Identify issues that require attentionBefore digging, the main trunk and side branches of the plant need to be pruned as necessary . When pruning, it is best to keep a few new branches that sprouted that year, which will help new buds sprout as soon as possible after transplanting. For root pruning, first of all, you need to pay attention to the retained length of the taproot. As long as the flowerpot is suitable, try to keep the main trunk longer. If the taproot of the old honeysuckle pile is too short, it is not suitable for survival. For the lateral roots growing from the main root, you need to keep a few strong small roots and try your best to protect the soil attached to the small roots to protect the capillary roots. After digging, you need to wrap the roots to keep them hydrated. If the roots have been away from the soil for a long time, it is best to soak the roots of the old stump in clean water for about an hour. ③ When planting honeysuckle in old piles, it is not advisable to plant with exposed roots.Root shaping is an important part of the honeysuckle bonsai, but the old stumps transplanted into pots need all their roots buried in the soil to be maintained. We can adopt two methods, one is shallow planting and high cultivation, the other is deep planting and potting . Shallow planting and high cultivation requires the soil to be gradually washed and cultivated after the plants survive, and it cannot be done in one step. Deep planting, in the first year of planting old piles, the roots can be planted in the pot soil . After the old pile of honeysuckle survives, combined with repotting, the root planting height is gradually increased year by year, and the roots that need to be shaped are gradually exposed outside the soil. ④Soil for planting honeysuckle old pilesIt is suitable to choose loose and permeable sandy soil . It is not suitable to add leaf mold and fertilizer into the potting soil. Such potting soil preparation is more suitable for the survival of old honeysuckle stumps. |
