Cultivation method of potted honeysuckle

1. Preparation of potting soil for potted honeysuckle

When you want to grow honeysuckle in a potted plant, the preparation of the potting soil is very important. You can add 60% peat, 20% vermiculite, and 10% perlite, mix them together, and then plant honeysuckle.

2. Water and fertilizer management of potted honeysuckle

The water and fertilizer management of potted honeysuckle is also very important. Before it blooms, it should be fertilized once.

In late May every year, after the honeysuckle flowers wither, you can apply thin fertilizer once and pinch its new branches.
