1. Prepare the pot soil

When potting honeysuckle, choose a slightly larger and deeper flowerpot. The specific size depends on the size of the seedlings. The flowerpot should not be larger than the crown of the tree. And it needs to be repotted after a certain period of maintenance, so it doesn't need to be too big. There are also requirements for the soil. It must be breathable and loose. You can mix coarse sand, vermiculite and garden soil, which can basically meet the needs.

2. Plant seedlings

Pots After the soil is prepared, the seedlings can be planted into flower pots. When planting, first dig a hole on the surface of the pot soil, then carefully place the seedlings in, allowing their roots to spread out, and then slowly fill them with soil. After filling the soil, compact it, water it thoroughly, and do not let the seedlings tilt.

3. Post-planting management

The newly planted seedlings should not be placed in a sunny place. They should be moved to a cool and well-ventilated place. It will take about a week to resume growth and normal management.

4. Later maintenance

Potted plants The planted honeysuckle vines grow relatively slowly and consume limited water and nutrients. Therefore, attention should be paid not to watering too much or too frequently, and the soil should not accumulate water. If you encounter continuous rainy weather, avoid or drain the water in time to avoid root rot. Fertilizer should be applied thinly and frequently, and the specific fertilizer type will be determined according to the growth stage. For example, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied before flowering to promote the formation of flower buds. Fertilizer should be stopped in winter and base fertilizer should be applied in spring.
