Lonicera maackii aka Amur Honeysuckle

With its straightforward care requirements, Amur Honeysuckle is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Amur Honeysuckle should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Amur 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.

Amur Honeysuckle requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly. During hot summer months, it is important to place the plant away from full sun, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or burn. During cold winter months, it is best to move the plant closer to the window to take advantage of the extra light that can help it survive. By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your Amur Honeysuckle is always in the right place to thrive.

Amur Honeysuckle is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Once the Amur Honeysuckle has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
