Indoor potted honeysuckle, how to "dwarf"? So managed, small white and yellow flowers hang all over the branches
As a common indoor green plant, potted honeysuckle is loved by many home enthusiasts. However, in home decoration, honeysuckle is often encountered to affect the aesthetics, and dwarf has become a common treatment. This article will introduce the dwarfing methods of potted honeysuckle, aiming to help readers master effective dwarfing techniques to make honeysuckle more beautiful.
First, how to choose honeysuckle
Before you start dwarfing, you first need to choose the right honeysuckle.
In general, choosing dwarf honeysuckle is easier to dwarf. Common dwarf honeysuckle include Melaleuca wax, Privet goldleaf, Privet Privet, etc. The growth habit of these honeysuckles is more suitable for dwarfing.
Second, pruning dwarfing
Pruning dwarfing is a simple and effective method of dwarfing honeysuckle.
During growth, there is an option to cut the main stem or branches of honeysuckle short with scissors. This stimulates the growth of new shoots of honeysuckle, making them shorter and more forked.
Of course, in order to avoid harming honeysuckle, you need to pay attention to the timing and method of pruning.
When choosing the time of pruning, it is better to choose the peak season of honeysuckle growth, that is, spring and summer.
At this time, honeysuckle grows faster and is easier to adapt to pruning.
In the process of pruning, it is necessary to pay attention to protect the branches and leaves of honeysuckle to avoid breakage. At the same time, it is also very important to choose the right scissors. Generally speaking, the scissors used for pruning need to be sharp, otherwise it will affect the effect of pruning.
3. Potting soil control
Potting soil control is also a common method of dwarfing honeysuckle.
By regulating the growing environment of honeysuckle, its growth rate and height can be controlled.
In terms of potting soil control, the following points need to be noted:
Potting soil selection:
To control the growth of honeysuckle, some potting soils rich in siliceous, phosphate and potassium can be chosen. This can effectively slow down the growth rate of honeysuckle.
Potting soil depth:
Appropriately reducing the depth of potting soil is also a way to control honeysuckle growth.
Often, choosing a shallower potting soil can allow the root system of honeysuckle to develop less deeply, slowing down its growth. However, it should be noted that the depth of the potting soil should not be too shallow, otherwise it will affect the growth and health of honeysuckle.
Fertilize:
Fertilization is also an important factor in controlling honeysuckle growth.
If you want to control the height of honeysuckle, you can appropriately reduce the amount of fertilizer or increase the fertilization interval. This slows down the growth rate of honeysuckle and achieves the effect of dwarfing.
4. Plant pruning
Plant pruning is also a common method of dwarfing honeysuckle.
By pruning the branches and leaves of honeysuckle, you can control its growth rate and height.
In terms of plant pruning, the following points need to be noted:
Pruning time:
In general, the pruning time is best chosen later in the honeysuckle growing season. At this time, the growth rate of honeysuckle will gradually slow down, and the effect of pruning will be more obvious.
Pruning method:
When pruning, care needs to be taken to protect the branches and leaves of honeysuckle to avoid breakage. At the same time, the method of pruning also needs to be selected appropriately, and generally can be trimmed into a staircase-like or inclined shape to make it more beautiful.
Trimming frequency:
The frequency of pruning of honeysuckle is also very important. If pruning is too frequent, it will affect the growth and health of honeysuckle. In general, pruning 1-2 times a year is sufficient.
summary
As a common indoor green plant, the height of honeysuckle is too high is an important factor affecting aesthetics. This article introduces a variety of dwarf methods such as pruning dwarfing, potting soil control, plant pruning, etc., aiming to help readers master effective dwarf techniques and make honeysuckle more beautiful. When dwarfing, it is necessary to pay attention to choosing the appropriate honeysuckle, choosing the appropriate time and method, and paying attention to protecting the branches and leaves of honeysuckle to avoid harming the health of the plant.
