Temperature: honeysuckle is not cold resistant, and the winter temperature should be controlled at more than 10 ℃; fertilization: during the flowering period, it needs to apply fertilizer once a month, and at ordinary times, it can apply some self-made fertilizer; watering: it likes to be wet, so it needs to be watered every day in summer, and two or three times a week in other seasons; lighting: it needs to be given five hours of scattered light every day.

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: the temperature suitable for its development is between 15 ℃ and 25 ℃. When breeding in the north, we should control the temperature well, especially in winter. It's better to live indoors.

2 fertilization: before flowering in spring, in order to promote the development of flower bud, phosphate fertilizer can be used once a month. After flower withering, topdressing is also needed. The fertilizer type is mainly phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizer. At ordinary times, self-made retting fertilizer can be used. It should be noted that retting fertilizer must be retting mature fertilizer. If there is no retting mature, the fertilizer will continue to ferment after contacting the soil, and a lot of heat will be generated in the fermentation process. It can burn the plant, which is bad for its growth.

3. Watering: it likes a slightly humid growth environment, which will affect its growth. The air in the north is very dry. During the breeding process, it needs to spray water around it to keep it moist. In general, if the temperature is not more than 30 ℃, water once every two days. After the temperature is more than 30 ℃, water every day. The best time to water is at night, so that you can give it enough time to fully absorb

4. Light: it is not resistant to insolation. When giving light, it needs to be properly shaded. The daily light time should be about five hours. When lighting, it is better to give priority to astigmatism.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Propagation: it can be propagated by cutting. From May to June of each year, select the semi lignified branches, cut out the lower leaves, leaving only the three upper leaves, and then put the cut point into the rooting water for 30 seconds, then pull out and air dry it, and then it can be inserted into the cultivation base after air drying. After inserting, it can be maintained in a cool place, and it can grow in about two weeks.

2. Pruning: in order to promote the plant to blossom more and grow more new branches, it is generally to promote the sprouting of new buds by the way of picking the heart. In order to increase the commercial and aesthetic quality, it is necessary to prune the redundant branches after the flower withers in spring..

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Leaf swelling disease: after the plant is infected with leaf swelling disease, you can use 1:100 Bordeaux solution to spray its branches slightly, once every seven days.

2. Insect damage. If there is black slime on the back of the plant's branches and leaves, it means that it has infected the crown bug. In addition to this kind of insect damage, it needs to be sprayed with Omethoate once a half month.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: non toxic.

2. Edible: it can not be eaten directly, but it can be used as medicine.
