Climbing honeysuckle and its propagation

Honeysuckle climbing - an extremely valuable species from a decorative point of view, which is highly valued by gardeners both for its spectacular appearance and for its undemanding conditions. This plant can grow in the most unfavorable conditions, for example, in shaded areas along fences and other structures that are entwined with its shoots. It doesn't even need to be watered often: A small amount of water will be enough during dry summer times. However, it will gratefully accept the most minor fertilizing, be it autumn mulching with rotted manure or fertilizing with phosphorus-potassium mixtures during flowering.

Honeysuckle climbing It is most easily propagated by layering. To get a beautiful green wall, you should dig in the lower branches in the fall or at the very beginning of spring. After a certain time, they will take root, and then the gardener’s task will only be to separate a branch that has acquired its own root system, from the mother plant, and, if necessary, transplant it to a specific place.

Honeysuckle also propagates well from green cuttings. To get new plants in this way, you should cut off the shoot in mid-summer and divide it into several parts, on each of which there should be two or three internodes and only a few upper leaves (the rest need to be deleted).The cuttings are planted in a shaded place and covered with a simple cutting, which can be made from the top half of a plastic bottle with a screwed cap.
