Choose stems that are old, woody, or that have become too long and leggy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cutting: Using sharp, clean pruning shears, make a clean cut just above a healthy bud or lateral shoot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Angle: Cut at a 45-degree angle, sloping away from the bud, to prevent water from collecting and causing damage or disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat: Repeat this process on all the selected stems, cutting them back to different heights to encourage a bushy, compact growth habit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean-up: Finally, remove all the pruned stems and dispose of them properly to prevent the spread of any potential diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Pruning back Lonicera henryi will stimulate new growth and result in a fuller, healthier plant with more blooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pruning back Lonicera henryi, also known as Henry&#8217;s honeysuckle, is a common gardening technique used to encourage the plant to produce new stems and foliage.
