thanks, going to try it
Well it's rare in my country and there's a big market for it round us and It's a great source for the bees and an amazing plant with wonderful smells from the flowers in the evening. Thats why I want to propagate honeysuckle but I do know it is very invasive in the US but not with us. Thanks
It attracts honeybees, butterflies, and humming birds. And if you prune it back, the native species is quite manageable.
I would mix in some organic rooting powder but only a bit or transplant into moist compost! Fingers crossed that should answer your question, thanks
Cutting the top bud off has always worked for me when making cuttings. The plant cutting can no longer direct growth from the top, so it concentrates more of it's energy into making roots from the base of the stem. Exposing some of the cambium layer at the base of the stem can also increase the changes of root growth.
I live in Virginia and love the scent of honeysuckle. Although there's lots in the neighborhood I don't have any on my 5 acres, so I'm really excited about trying this out.
I do not have the same Honeysuckle mine is different.
I love it I have some growing on my fence and I see some offshoots I want to plant it on my hill so I do not have to mow there anymore. It is beautiful, cutting it back makes it manageable I do not find it invasive at all, actually I wish I had more of it. Some of my neighbors are doing what I am doing I want to let it crawl on the ground.
poor quality sound, picture, and filming!
I'm very sorry, this I think was my 2nd ever video and I will do another one as I totally agree with you!
Rainwater is great!
Yes I have a tripod nowadays and my apologies, this was my second ever video but I will be doing an improved version!
It would have been perfect if not for the sea sickness… 🙂 Thank you for all you do, most of your videos are terrific!
