Wisteria cultivation methods and precautions
Here is an introduction for netizens on the cultivation methods and precautions for wisteria, as well as knowledge about the maintenance and management of green plants and flowers. Let's learn about it together.
"Born for love, die for love!" This phrase may sound familiar. It is the flower language of wisteria. I first encountered this phrase in a magazine, and after that, I developed a great interest in wisteria. I even started growing wisteria in my yard, and yes, the blooming flowers indeed brought a purple romance to my garden!
I first saw wisteria in high school, during summer, when I walked through the shaded path in the school and found it covered with purple flowers, but I initially thought they were artificial flowers placed by the school. The flowers covered the entire path, about 10 meters long, climbing on the rooftops. It was then that I learned wisteria is a climbing plant.
Now, I have planted wisteria in my yard, and by summer, the entire garden is filled with blooms. Since the main roots of wisteria are thick and it is a climbing plant, it is not suitable for potted cultivation. Wisteria prefers sunlight, and its roots are very deep, which means it can still grow well even in summer. Therefore, I believe wisteria is a plant especially suitable for us to cultivate now. Let's talk about how I grow and cultivate my wisteria.
1. Seed propagation
After purchasing wisteria seeds, they must be soaked for about 12 hours before sowing, preferably in spring. thin out the seedlings after the autumnal equinox, and transplant after three years, making sure to take the soil ball with the seedlings. Then cover the soil with about 10 cm and cover with plastic wrap to keep it warm and moist.

2. Cutting propagation
It is better to propagate by cutting in May, as the survival rate will be higher and the seedlings will grow faster at this temperature. Division propagation should be done in winter, and the seedlings must be dug deep. After cutting, be sure to water and pay attention to the duration of sunlight.
3. Watering
Although wisteria consumes a lot of water, it is different from other flowers. We should keep the soil slightly dry rather than constantly moist. If the potting soil is only moist and not dry, it will not be conducive to the flowering of wisteria. Watering wisteria is very simple and convenient; just water when the soil is completely dry and water thoroughly. In spring and summer, when wisteria grows rapidly, we should keep the potting soil moist. In autumn, we should control watering, and this regular watering helps wisteria bloom!
4. Fertilizing
When fertilizing wisteria, it is important to apply a small amount of fertilizer frequently. During the growing season, we can fertilize once every half month, then stop fertilizing in July and August. A balanced fertilization plan ensures that our wisteria has abundant flowers and leaves, enhancing its ornamental value.
