6 key points of honeysuckle cuttings, when to cut

1. Cutting time

Its cuttings do not have high requirements for the environment and can be carried out in all seasons. However, it is more recommended to do it in spring or autumn. This is the peak growth season, the rooting speed will be faster and the survival rate will be higher.

2. Choose cuttings

The survival rate is determined by the cuttings, so choose those that are grown in the current year and are free of diseases and pests. If the branches are thick and old, their germination power will be weaker, the rooting speed will be slow and they may not take root at all.

3. Processing of cuttings

After the cuttings are selected, they should be processed in a timely manner, and the length should be controlled between 10-15 cm, and it is better if each section has 2-3 nodes. Cut off the lower leaves and keep the two upper leaves. The bottom should also be soaked in rooting water for two hours.

4. Prepare the Soil

The medium for cuttings must be loose and breathable, and can be prepared by yourself. Just mix an appropriate amount of sand, garden soil and leaf mold. After mixing, add a small amount of decomposed organic fertilizer. This will provide sufficient nutrients and be more conducive to rooting and later growth.

5. Inserting into the soil

Once the cuttings and soil are prepared, you can start grafting. The method is very simple. First, use chopsticks to poke a small hole in the soil surface, then put the cuttings in, paying attention to the depth. The cuttings only need to be halfway into the soil, not too deep. Lightly compact the soil around the plant after planting.

6. Post-insertion management

After cuttings, water thoroughly as soon as possible to keep the soil moist. Be careful to place it in a dark place and don't rush it into the sun. And ensure good ventilation, so that roots will slowly grow after a week, and move it outdoors after half a month for normal maintenance.
