What is the region of origin of Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle’s native range is Europe - Austria and Czechoslovakia to Romania and Turkey. Introduced in Britain.
What are the water needs for Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

The Honeysuckle should be repotted when it has doubled in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing fresh potting soil with all the essential nutrients each year ensures the plant's well-being, eliminating the need for fertilizer. Remember, plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.
