How do I propagate a honeysuckle vine?

Answer 1

Cut half way thru one of your softwood limbs and bury the wounded section in the ground by patting it down. You might put a little rooting hormone on the wound site; and it should root where you buried the cutting site. Make sure you have buds on the end exposed. It works like a charm!

Answer 2

Should be easy. Just cut off a length of the end, 3 nodes (where the leaves come out) long and stick it in a pot of well draining soil. Keep it moist. Should just start growing.

Or you can layer the vine. Pin down a node after removing the leaves. Cover it with some mulch. It should start rooting soon. Best to leave it alone for a few months.
Should not need any rooting compound. This is how the viney honeysuckels propagate themselves in the wild.

Answer 3

Take a cutting from the vine, preferably where the stem is slightly "woody," but not really thick. Get a packet of rooting powder (any nursery should have it for a couple of bucks), and dip the cut end into it. Press the cut end with the powder into a fresh pot of potting soil, and pack it around the cutting firmly. DO NOT USE GARDEN SOIL - it tends to have too many soil-borne pests for a new plant to cope with. Keep the cutting moist, but not wet, and give it bright but indirect light. After a couple of months, you should have a new plant ready to set out and grow.

Good luck!
