What does honeysuckle like?

1. Plant the bush in a well-lit area, but not in the shade.

2. The plant likes moist and fertile soil. Before planting, it would be a good idea to add compost or humus to the hole.

3. Honeysuckle reacts most actively to complex fertilizers.

If these are mineral fertilizers, they must contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The feeding will increase the bush's resistance to diseases and pests.

From organic matter, you can use fertilizers based on bird droppings or compost. This way you can not only provide the plant with nutrition, but also improve the soil structure.
