Water: Evergreen honeysuckle thrives in Mediterranean-like climates, balancing moisture and dryness. It tolerates moderate drought and requires deep watering every 2-3 weeks. Typically grown outdoors, evergreen honeysuckle flourishes in temperate climates, benefiting from natural rain cycles and maintaining lush evergreen foliage.

Fertilize: For evergreen honeysuckle, use balanced fertilizers monthly during spring/summer for optimal growth. Reduce feeding in autumn/winter. Young evergreen honeysuckle may need more frequent feeding for root establishment. Incorporate slow-release granules and monitor for fertilizer burn. Always wear gloves and follow application instructions for plant health.

Pruning: Evergreen honeysuckle is an evergreen climber with twisting stems and fragrant flowers. Prune in early spring to control growth, remove damaged wood, and enhance air circulation. Regular light pruning promotes blooms and reduces disease risk. Sanitize tools to prevent infection.

Propagation: Evergreen honeysuckle propagates best through semi-ripe stem cuttings taken at a node. Use rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Keep moist and in indirect light until rooted, then transplant into rich, loamy soil.
