Honeysuckle ‘Pink Lemonade’ – Care Guide :
🌞 Light Requirements
Pink Lemonade Honeysuckle grows best in:
Full sun to partial shade
At least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily
Afternoon shade is beneficial in regions with intense summer heat
Full sun encourages maximum flowering and strong growth. Too much shade reduces blooms and causes leggy vines.
💧 Watering
This plant enjoys evenly moist soil, especially when young.
Watering guidelines:
Water 2–3 times per week during establishment (first 2–3 months).
Once mature, water deeply once a week.
Increase watering during hot summers.
Reduce watering in winter but do not let the soil dry out completely.
Avoid:
Waterlogging, which causes root rot
Severe drought, which reduces flowering
Mulching around the base helps retain moisture.
🪴 Soil
Pink Lemonade Honeysuckle prefers:
Loose, fertile, well-drained soil
Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0)
Ideal soil mix for pots:
40% garden soil
30% compost
20% coco peat
10% perlite
Good drainage is essential because the roots dislike soggy conditions.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Thrives in 15–32°C
Can tolerate mild cold, but protect from frost
Moderate humidity is ideal
In very hot regions, provide shade during peak afternoon hours.
🌱 Fertilizing
Feed lightly but regularly for best flowering.
Best routine:
Use a balanced NPK (10-10-10 or 14-14-14) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring through rainy season).
For more blooms, switch to a phosphorus-rich fertilizer (like NPK 5-10-5) before flowering flushes.
Avoid heavy nitrogen fertilizers—they promote leaves instead of flowers.
🌿 Support & Training
Pink Lemonade Honeysuckle is a climbing vine and needs support.
Provide:
Trellis
Pergola
Fence
Balcony railings
Archway
Tie young stems gently to guide growth.
✂️ Pruning
Pruning keeps the plant healthy, promotes flowering, and controls its shape.
When to prune:
Late winter or early spring before new growth
Light pruning can also be done after each blooming cycle
How to prune:
Remove dead, dry, or weak stems
Trim overly long vines to maintain shape
Thin out tangled growth to improve airflow
Avoid heavy pruning during flowering season.
🌸 Flowering
Pink Lemonade Honeysuckle blooms from spring to late monsoon, repeating several times.
For better flowering:
Provide full sun
Use bloom booster fertilizer
Water consistently
Avoid pruning during active flowering periods
The sweet fragrance increases in the evening and early morning.

1. Stem Cuttings
Take a 10–15 cm semi-hardwood cutting
Remove lower leaves
Dip in rooting hormone
Plant in moist mix (coco peat + perlite)
Keep in bright, indirect light
2. Layering
Bend a healthy stem to the soil
Pin it down and cover with soil
Roots will form in 4–6 weeks
🐛 Common Problems & Solutions
