How long does it take for honeysuckle cuttings to take root and germinate? What is the cutting time and method with high survival rate?

Rooting time of honeysuckle cuttings

Honeysuckle can be propagated by cuttings all year round, but it is best to do it in spring and autumn, which are the peak growth seasons. It can germinate faster and thus take root faster. It will take about half a month for roots to grow after cuttings. If it is propagated in summer and winter, it will take about a month to take root and survive .

Honeysuckle rooting method

1. For honeysuckle cuttings, you need to choose soil with low fertility. If the soil is too fertile, the new roots will be burned, reducing its survival rate. Usually plain sand or vermiculite is chosen as the cutting medium. To be on the safe side, you need to disinfect the medium first and spread it flat in a sunny place to eliminate the germs through exposure to the sun.

2. After the honeysuckle cuttings are completed, you should pay attention to the maintenance method, which can speed up the rooting speed. You can place it in a well-ventilated location, avoid exposure to strong light, and provide diffuse light maintenance. The surrounding temperature should be maintained at around 20 degrees, so that it will take root in about half a month.

Honeysuckle cutting method

1. Processing of cuttings: Choose honeysuckle cuttings that are grown in the current year and free of pests and diseases. Cut them into 10-15 cm lengths, cut off the lower leaves, and keep the two upper leaves. The bottom should also be soaked in rooting water to make it easier to take root.

2. Cuttings into the soil: When cutting honeysuckle, you need to prepare a loose and fertile substrate. After preparation, use chopsticks to poke holes on the surface of the soil, and then put the cuttings in. Do not plant too deep, leave half of it on top. After insertion, be careful to compact it and water it thoroughly.
