How to fertilize European Fly Honeysuckle

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your European Fly Honeysuckle after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Propagation attempt number 2! #JapaneseHoneysuckle Saw this on my walk and just add to take a little peice (there was a bunch of it so don’t worry I didn’t take like the only part of the plant) and I could use some tips! I hope this will be easier to propagate then the #SeaVetchling ! Thanks! #PropagationStation #Propagation #PropDontShop

So I was unpacking a bag of antiques I had got and completely forgot about and found this little guy! I’ve been needing something to put Cippy in thats bigger and I think I found the perfect new pot! 😂 #potsthatarenotpots #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PropagationStation #antiquesandplants❤️🤪 (will add picture of him in it tomorrow!) #plantyplants #PetsAndPlants #PetsOfGreg 🤷🏻♀️ (added new pick🥹❤️😍)

Why is he molding 😭 Cippy hasn’t showed any new growth and even after the Pothos water is still doing nothing! I guess the Pothos water got something to grow! 🤮😂 #Fungi #PropagationStation #help #PlantTherapy #NotSoHappyPlants #CanIPropagateAnything?😭 #ScienceWithGreg #PothosWater

Is it a lost cause? 😞 I put the coral honeysuckle vine in dirt and it’s not doing to well. I forgot to water it for a few weeks but I’m back on track and it’s in a #PothosWater only diet. I just put some ask in it to give it some nutrients but I don’t know what else to do. #PropagationStation #pothoswaterdiet #honeysuckle #vine #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewPlantMom

Just gave Cippy is first #PothosWater ! He’s been declining so I cut is stem a little bit and I saw green last time I moved him to his (improved) #potsthatarenotpots ! So I think the Pothos water will help! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy Thank you @dreamlettuce ! I’ll check in him in a few days like you said and post what I see! #PlantAddict #PropagationStation #NewGrowth #BeforeAndAfter #plantyplants

Honeysuckle with yellowing leaves Hi there, my outdoor honeysuckle that I just got and planted in my back patio last month has quickly developed yellowing leaves that are all falling off. Not sure what the issue is, the Internet just says maybe I have over or under watered the plant. Any tips would be greatly appreciated 👍 #honeysuckle
-
I’m trying to figure out if this is normal wintering look or should I be concerned and take action? Any suggestions? I’m not entirely sure of the species of Haskap #DeepblueHoneysuckle

I received a dormant honeysuckle vine and bee balm plant yesterday from the grower. They're dry. Do I water them? Do I plant them now or wait until after last frost date for my zone 6b? Both already have leaves on them.
