Lonicera periclymenum, commonly known as honeysuckle, is a deciduous climber native to Europe. It is known for its fragrant, tubular flowers that bloom in summer and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The plant goes dormant in winter and can tolerate a range of soil types and conditions.
Honeysuckle requires moderate watering, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. The plant benefits from higher humidity levels and should be protected from extreme cold.
Bodem
Honeysuckle prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of garden soil with compost or organic matter works well. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth and flowering.
Verpotten
Repot honeysuckle in early spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently loosen the roots and place the plant in fresh soil.
Voortplanting
Honeysuckle can be propagated through softwood cuttings in late spring or early summer. Take a cutting of about 10-15 cm, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a pot with moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.
Snoeien
Prune honeysuckle after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems and thin out overcrowded areas to improve air circulation.
Toxiciteit
Honeysuckle berries are toxic if ingested and can cause gastrointestinal distress in pets and humans. The plant's sap may also cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
Aanvullend
Honeysuckle can be trained to climb trellises, fences, or walls, making it a versatile addition to gardens. Regular pruning and training will help maintain its shape and encourage prolific flowering.
