    Either of these can be planted in spring or fall for your region. However, in most cases, they will have a better chance of surviving when planted in fall, as they will be dormant throughout winter.

    Lichen normally does not cause any problems for plants, other than making them somewhat unattractive, though lichen usually affects plants that are already stressed. For more info on lichen, and how to get rid of it, try this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/fungus-lichen/treatment-tree-lichen.htm

    I would leave it for now. It may have a fungus that is causing the lower growth to die back or the lower growth may not be able to get enough light, if the top growth is heavy. Try treating it with a fungicide first and see if that does not improve the growth on the bottom half of the plant.

    while the conditions may seem all the same, they can vary for locations even just a few feet apart. I would recommend that you give them all a phosphorous heavy fertilizer. This will help with blooming. Check also the light conditions and how well water is penetrating the soil at the base of each plant.

    Pests may also be affecting the plants to different degrees. Check the plants carefully for pests or you can simply treat the plants with a pesticide as a precaution.

    The plant may be in need of more light to induce blooming or the soil could be lacking phosphorus. You can prune nearby plants to help with light or add bone meal to the soil around your vine.

    The UK's Royal Horticulture Society has this to say: You can propagate honeysuckles by taking softwood or semi-ripe cuttings 5-7.5cm (2-3in) long from late spring to summer. Evergreens also take well from hardwood cuttings, about 20-30cm (8-12in) long, from autumn to mid-winter.

    Try layering in spring, particularly with climbers as the flexible young stems bend easily to the ground.

    Sow fresh seeds in autumn and keep in a cold frame, or refrigerate the seed mixed with moist compost for four to 12 weeks, and then germinate at 13°C-18°C (55°F-64°F).
