Why doesn't honeysuckle bloom?

Flowering period

The flowering period of honeysuckle is generally from April to June in summer. During this period, honeysuckle blooms most vigorously and the quality of the flowers is also the best. Honeysuckle will bloom in autumn, and then the fruits will ripen.

Factors that affect non-flowering

Honeysuckle needs sufficient sunlight to grow. The light must be guaranteed, and the ventilation conditions of the environment will also affect flowering.

The soil required for the growth of honeysuckle must be nutritious, and phosphorus fertilizer is indispensable.

During the growth period of honeysuckle, pruning work must also be done well. Pruning branches and buds and pruning unhealthy branches and buds will also affect flowering.

Powdery mildew of honeysuckle will cause small white spots to appear on the leaves, which will then expand and affect flowering or cause the flowers to wither if they have already bloomed.

Failure to do the above matters will affect the flowering of honeysuckle.

Flowering care

We already know the factors that prevent honeysuckle from blooming. How to make honeysuckle bloom? First of all, we must give it sufficient light, do not put it in a cool place, and ventilate it in time and regularly.

The second is to ensure that the soil contains sufficient phosphorus fertilizer and to prune the branches during the growth period, cutting off the diseased parts and basal branches to promote the growth of new buds and flowering.

Finally, it is necessary to prevent and control powdery mildew, which will devour the leaves of honeysuckle, causing the flower stems to die and result in failure to bloom. Therefore, it is necessary to spray with 1000 times diluted 50% thiophanate or BO-10 biological spray.
