In fact, honeysuckle is very beautiful, and the small petals that turn from white to yellow are particularly elegant. Honeysuckle has not only ornamental value, but also medicinal value. According to legend, a long time ago, places with honeysuckle smelled delicious, and everyone who smelled it became refreshed. Moreover, some patients with hemorrhoids will miraculously recover after smelling this fragrance.

Later, people began to pick honeysuckle and make honeysuckle dew, which was used on itchy skin and hemorrhoids, and the symptoms would soon disappear. Since then, honeysuckle has become a drug that people can't put down.

The word "honeysuckle" comes from Compendium of Materia Medica: "Honeysuckle is good at detoxifying, so it cures carbuncle, swelling, sores and tinea ..." Because it does not shed leaves in cold winter, honeysuckle is also called honeysuckle.

Honeysuckle potted at home is picked, dried in the sun or dried in the shade before it opens, and then it can be used for soaking in water. Drinking occasionally can clear away heat and detoxify.

Moreover, the survival rate of honeysuckle cutting is very high. Pick a few branches and put them in a flowerpot, and they will take root and sprout in 20 days.

If you want honeysuckle potted plants to grow vigorously, you need to pay attention to the following points when climbing vines quickly:

1, lighting

Honeysuckle likes the light, but is not afraid of the sun. As long as there is enough light, many flowers can bloom. If the position is not good and the light is not enough, it will lead to fewer branches and fewer flowers. So light is the most important thing!

2. Ventilation equipment

If it is indoors, you need to pay attention to ventilation. Opening more windows for ventilation is not only good for plants, but also good for our health.

water

Honeysuckle is drought-tolerant, so it doesn't need to be watered too much. As long as you see the soil in the basin dry, you should water it thoroughly. We can't water it bit by bit. Some friends are not worried enough, so watering a little the next day will easily lead to water accumulation in the root system of honeysuckle. Coupled with poor ventilation, honeysuckle leaves will turn yellow or even fall off.

Step 4 apply fertilizer

Honeysuckle still likes fertilizer, so you can apply some organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer to it. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be used in the growth period of honeysuckle, and once a week can accelerate its growth.

prune

In spring and summer, honeysuckle can be trimmed. One is to make the overall shape of potted plants more ornamental and cut off those long side branches. The other is to remove useless branches that consume nutrients, that is, old branches and delicate branches without buds.

If honeysuckle is potted outdoors or planted in a small yard, the leaves will fall off, which is generally found to be a normal phenomenon when the temperature is low or the seasons change, so don't worry.

But if a lot of leaves fall off at the touch, it is not normal.

This situation is mostly caused by excessive watering, insufficient ventilation, or weather. For example, continuous rain for several days is easy to make honeysuckle powdery mildew, but you don't have to worry. Just wait for the sun to come out and get more sunshine, and honeysuckle will get better.
