How to propagate honeysuckle with high survival rate by cuttings? Propagation technology of honeysuckle branches by cuttings

Honeysuckle has a high survival rate of cuttings. It is necessary to choose the right time range for cuttings. The climate is mild and suitable, and the cuttings are easy to survive and improve the survival rate. And choose branches that grow strong and have no diseases. At the same time, use loose and fertile soil, use the correct cutting method and careful post-care.

When is the best time to take cuttings of honeysuckle?

In the cutting technology, honeysuckle can be cut every year, but the survival rate of cuttings is higher in spring and autumn , and the specific time is July-August.

At this time, honeysuckle is in the peak growth season, and the branches take root quickly. But you should pay attention to the weather conditions when cutting. Don't do branch cuttings in rainy weather.

Honeysuckle cutting method

Step 1: Pruning branches

First, choose a strong branch on the plant. Cut it off, remove all the leaves at the bottom, and keep one leaf on the top.

Step 2: Dry

Place the pruned branches in a cool and ventilated place and let them dry before use to avoid bacterial infection.

Step 3: Soil preparation

For honeysuckle cuttings, use sandy soil with sufficient nutrients, good air permeability and drainage, to promote rapid rooting and germination.

Step 4: Cutting operation

Put the prepared soil into the flowerpot, use a small wooden stick to make a hole in the soil, then insert the treated branches into the hole and compact the surrounding soil. This will not harm the cuttings and will help promote their root growth.

Key points for rooting honeysuckle cuttings

If you want honeysuckle to take root quickly after cutting, you should pay attention to the later maintenance, mainly in the following two aspects:

1. Watering

After the honeysuckle is cut, it needs to be watered, and it should be watered thoroughly at one time, but not excessively to avoid water accumulation. Generally, water the soil in a slightly dry state in time to keep the soil moist.

2. Fertilization

It should be noted that fertilizer cannot be applied immediately after cutting. It is necessary to wait for a month until the root growth is stable. Appropriate use of diluted liquid fertilizer once can ensure that the honeysuckle grows fast and well.
