Layering is very simple, just grab a bunch of new vines, and stuff them in a pot, so that on one side of the pot you have the part of the vine still attached to the mother plant and on the other side of the pot, you have the other extremity of the vine. Fill up the pot with dirt. Water occasionally for a couple of months, and your honeysuckes should be ready to be cut away from the mother plant.
