How to prune honeysuckle

How to prune honeysuckle

1. Pinching and topping

The height of the potted honeysuckle must be controlled, otherwise it will easily grow too tall. When the plant grows to 40 cm, cut off the top branches and leaves. This is not only beneficial to plant shaping, but also can promote the sprouting of side branches.

2. Pruning during the growing season

Honeysuckle also needs proper pruning during the growing season. At this time, new branches grow very quickly and can recover quickly after pruning. At this time, in addition to cutting off branches that are too long, you should also thin out the branches appropriately, cutting off crossed and overlapping branches, and ensuring a certain amount of light and air circulation inside.

3. Pruning after flowering

Prune honeysuckle immediately after it blooms. The main thing is to remove the withered flowers in time and cut off the dry branches. Reducing their consumption of nutrients is beneficial to the subsequent growth of the plants.

4. Pruning for pests and diseases

After encountering diseases and insect pests, honeysuckle should be pruned in time. Diseased or insect-infested branches and leaves should be cut off and burned in time to avoid recurrence of the disease. If the condition is serious, some medicines should be sprayed for treatment.
