How to grow Wisteria from seed

- In this video I'm showing you how to grow Wisteria from seed and discuss all the steps I took from seed to 3 week old Wisteria seedlings. So if you were wondering how to germinate Wisteria seeds this video illustrates the process.
I got several Wisteria seed pods from a Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) which I want to germinate and eventually grow into a Wisteria Bonsai. The approach of growing Wisteria Bonsai from seed is certainly not the fastest way to do it but the fact that the Wisteria plant is a vigorous grower should speed up the process.
Germinating Wisteria seeds is easy and, as you will see in the video, the germination rate is very high. No wonder this species is an invasive one. You just have to hydrate the seeds by keeping them in water for a few days and then keep them in a humid environment. Once the seeds have germinated you can plant them in containers or directly in your garden while making sure the soil they're planted in does not dry out. When planting directly in the ground you should make sure you select the right place to grow wisteria plants since they are vigorous climbers and may get out of control if not constantly maintained.

I saw this video some months ago, I finally bought the seeds some days ago and I'm glad to comment that this method is amazing, all of my seeds germinated and I'm now waiting for them to fully sprout in the little containers I put them into, so thanks for inspiring me to give this plants an opportunity to grow and spreading this great method around
Glad to hear you got such a good germination rate. It means you got some pretty fresh wisteria seeds. Thank you very much for the feedback and good luck with your wisteria seedlings!
Hi! I received some wisteria seeds and I put them in a glass jar for 3 days then I removed the access of water and now waiting for them to sprout is that the way you did it?
Also I did another method that I found on RUclips I took 10 seeds put them in a jars for 3 days then I removed the outer brown shell and I see it sprouting and place them in a plastic container with paper towel on the bottom and placed the bottom and on top of the seeds and poured water so the paper towel is soaked.
When you put your seeds in water did you put the seeds in direct sunlight? I’m new to this and I would appreciate your feedback?
Thank you
I can never find wisteria seeds in stock where do u get them from
How long did it take. I followed this exactly and it's been a week and nothing
Also I collected the seeds from a friends plant and took seed pods from last year
I just got my seeds and excitedly planted them. I'm glad that I saw this video right after. Thank you so much blessings to you and everyone in the chat
Glad to hear you found the video useful. Good luck with your germination process. I hope you get good results.
Very precise and practical. Got my seeds today and most enthusiastic to try it out.
Thankyou, this has been the best education and exactly what I needed and here for. Have a great day blossom's!
Thank you very much for your video. My husband originally brought me a bonsai kit and we followed the instructions that came with the kit initially, but none of the seeds grew. We found your video and we bought fresh wisteria seeds and we followed exactly what you did and all the seeds are growing really well now. 😊🙏
Wonderful! Happy to hear the video was helpful! Good luck growing those your wisteria into mature plants!
Thanks for the video. I was reading a manual from an amazon kit, but this video is actually what I needed.
Glad to help! I hope you get great results with the germination process.
This inspired me to buy wisteria seeds.. (and of course anime also inspired me).. I wish I could have one of those plants.. tho I'm already late..
Glad to hear that! Did you already start their germination process?
I would have loved to be able to give the seedlings away to anyone wanting one but shipping them internationally wasn't a viable option so I was limited to offer them locally. Luckily the seeds are really easy to germinate so I'm sure you will soon have enough wisteria plants for your garden and some to spare.👍
Same
if you plant it using a seed. you will wait for 15 or 30 years to bloom it's first flower...
It's true that if you just plant the seed and sit back expecting it to flower without providing it with the proper care it could take this long. If it is planted in the ground in good soil, in a favorable location and you prune it correctly every year to promote blooming it will bloom much faster. Hope this helps!
There are a lot of articles on the internet which just tell you that Wisteria grown from seed will take up to 15-30 years to bloom but don't tell you more than that. And this is because many of them are written by authors without first hand experience with growing Wisteria so they just put together bits of information from multiple sources.
@@OddBonsai so, how much long it takes to bloom in your experiences?
A brilliant demonstration. Thankyou so much. This is the start of my bonsai journey!
Thank you! Glad to hear you decided to grow bonsai. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your presentation. I bought the seeds online and tried for a couple of years but couldn't succeed. On the other hand, seeds seeds collected from my existing garden, sprouts with out any effort, just placed in a designated location, and within a month, almost all the seeds germinated. I have more than 30 new plants in different ages and am planning to make bonsai. It is a great pleasure and satisfaction to see the results from seeds to a complete flowering bonsai!
The problem with seeds purchased online is that in most cases they are too old and have lost their germination capability. The seeds I'm using are fresh seeds collected by me.
Sound like you have quite a collection of wisteria plants. I'm sure they will make nice bonsai.
Thank you so much for the information! I’m going to try it! I’m excited!
Helpful video with clear instructions. I checked your channel for a follow up video (since this one is 2 years old) but I may have missed it. Is there a follow up video for these wisteria plants?
I was given 2 pods and forgot them in the car! Of course they popped out in all directions! While vacuuming I found the seeds, pooped them into a jar of water and hoping they will sprout. Your video gave me hope that they might sprout after being in the car for a month or two! Thanks!
Lol. I left mine in the house on top of a china cabinet. One popped while I was away. Seeds where everywhere!
I love your video, and the way you explained it, thank you very much.
Thank you, glad to hear you found it useful!
Thank you so much, i have had a hard time growing these seeds until now.
Glad to help! I hope your next try will be a success. The quality of seeds is also important. The older they are the less likely to germinate. So make sure you get fresh Wisteria seeds.
Thank you so much for this simple straight forward approach. I just received some seeds, so just put them into the water. Excited!
Good luck with the germination! If the seeds are not too old I'm sure you will get a good germination rate.
Can you make a video to give us an update on the wisterias.
I've just started to germinate my seeds. Thank you for this video! I'm excited for a follow up video to learn more.
Good luck with the germination process! The plants that I kept have spent their first winter outside and are now growing again. They didn't grow that much last year so not much to report yet. But I will surely make a new video once it's time to prune them.
Thank you so much for your detailed guide, it helped so much with my germination difficulty’s. top man.
Cheers! Glad to hear you found the information useful. I hope your wisterias grow big and healthy.
I was just gifted some wisteria pods from someone that I just met from their plant and I rushed home excitedly and they are now in water I'm very excited I love wisteria I can't wait to see what they do❤
Thank you so much, your instructions were brilliant,
Glad it was helpful! Cheers and good luck with your wisteria growing!
Thank you so very much. This video has been a blessing.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Great video, my Wisteria Bolusanthus Speciosus seeds germinated after 2 days using your technique :)
Very clear and simple instructions..thankyou
Thank you! Good luck with growing your wisteria!
Super clear info tutorial! Many thanks!! 👌🏅
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
Wow! Incredibly informative video. Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! Just got some wisteria seeds today and had no clue how to grow them. Cannot wait till spring when I can buy the right soils and pots to grow them in.
You're most welcome! Glad to hear you decided to grow Wisteria. It's a wonderful plant! Good luck with growing itand let me know how it goes.
@@OddBonsai Well I finally got the supplies needed. And started the germination process two days ago like in the video with a jar of water. They...a;ready are growing roots.
That's great! Sounds like you got some nice fresh seeds. Once they germinated you can plnt them in soil. Happy growing!
learn bonsai from small materials, thank you for sharing your knowledge
I'm always glad to share horticultural knowledge as I am to experiment and learn new things.
Great video. I love the look of these in bloom.
Thanks! Me too! I can't wait for the large one from my garden to flower. The sweet smell of the Wisteria flowers is also great!
Awesome video, it helped a lot with my seeds to get them grow :)
I'm always happy to hear that the information that I try to pass on through my videos was helpful. Thank you and I hope your Wisteria seedlings grow nice and healthy!
Awesome video man Great job ! Very helpful !
Thank you! Glad to hear it helped you!
Always nice to see these videos ..it is really a mind freshener and soothing watch..thanks for this sharing
So nice of you, hope you found it useful!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate your well done video 👏💓
Brilliant video! Thank you so much!
Thanks! My pleasure!
Awesome detailed video
Thank you this clear advise, will give it a go now.
Thanks, glad you found it useful! Good luck with your wisteria seeds!
Have you made a video of how you made the wisteria bonsai plant? I have seeds I am just growing now for my own first bonsai project. Very excited I found your channel!
Germinating the wisteria seeds was only the first step. Transforming the seedlings into bonsai will be a long process which I will document in future videos. For now the seedlings are fine but growing slowly so I will probably not make an update video too soon. 😋
Thank you! This is very helpful.
Thanks! Great to hear it helped! Happy growing!
Inspirational. Majoritatea gradinarilor spun ca sansele de inmultire prin seminte sunt mici la Glicina. 👋👌
Love wisteria and will be starting some seeds
You presentation was very good and easy to follow.
Thank you! It's an easy plant to germinate but it will be some years until you will be able to enjoy the lovely flowers. In any case the wait is worth it!
Just bought some seeds. Hopefully they grow!!
Such a great video
Thanks, you are so kind!
What an effective way of germinating a wisteria plants. Good thing with that method is assure of a 100% survival rate. Good tips also my dear friend. Fully watched my friend.
Seeing how easy it was to germinate these seeds I'm pretty sure they will germinate just fine if they are put directly into soil. It's no wonder wisteria's are considered invasive in some regions. Thanks and take care!
Thank you for your wisdom!!
You are very welcome! I wouldn't necessarily call it wisdom, I'm just sharing my experience while growing various species that I own.
@@OddBonsai LOL! 🤣❤ I know what you mean...I'm no where near as great as this yet! But I'm coming along, LOL🤣❤
Thank you so much!!!! Blessings
You are so welcome! Cheers!
That's great good work😊
Great help thanks👍
Glad it helped. Cheers!
Great help watching your video. I followed your method of soaking for about 36 hours and keept inside the air tight jar, and letting air inside every 12 hours. And I'm amazed it sprouted very quickly. thanks for the video
It also amazed me to see the high germination rate on Wisteria. I'm glad to hear you had good results and I hope your little wisteria seedlings get to grow big and healthy. Just don't make the mistake I made by putting the seedlings outside into direct sun.
How quick did they sprout mine have been a week and nothing yet
Thankyou very much 👍
You are welcome! Glad you found the video useful!
Bravo merci a vous.
Merci beaucoup!
Thank you for the video! Also, I didn’t know about the seed dispersion and got quite surprised in the middle of the night. 🤣🤣🤣
Glad you found the video useful! Yeah, it was a nice searching the house during the night for the source of strange noises. 🤣 And I woke up 2 or 3 times that night , since not all the seed pods popped at once. It was only the next day that I found seeds all over the place and then I read about the popping. Lesson learned! 😋
@@OddBonsai lol. Yes. In fact, I didn’t know what it was when I found the first seed. 🤣. Very helpful video.
@@carltonwalton9819 Ha ha, well now we both know 😁 Thanks!
Excellent
Very nice idea. Thank you.
So nice of you! 🙏
You are describing the things you do, this is the best thing , for that I have subscribed your chance.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you find my videos useful.
@@OddBonsai I had been brought a westariya sidling from Tarki, it is huge , flowers are not much, can you say how it will bloom moor !
I am from Bangladesh.
I have a 5 or 6 years old wisteria planted in my garden. I usually prune it at the end of summer and I found this helps getting more flowers next spring. If I don't prune it it will concentrate more on growing new branches.
@@habibajaved9794 Now I see you live in Bangladesh. Do you get cold winters where you live or is is more like a warm tropical climate? Lack of a wintering period couls also influence fliwering on wisterias from what I read.
@@OddBonsai thank you so much ! For the first time I became amazed to see a westariya bonsai with full bloom, and wish to have a bonsai like that, last around 22 years I am constructing my won bonsai and I have more then 100 bonsai of my won.
If you make a video of making a plant of westariya from branch it will be appreciated!
Thanks for the video thumbs up.
Thank you too!
Thank you! That helps tremendously. Both my Wisteria didn't make it through our several below 0 temps this year.
Fifteen years ago a friend gave me seeds which I grew in a southwest window and then planted on a trellis. I was
a complete novice and really cannot remember anything else I did. She was the expert and her seeds never produced. Weird! Anyway, thankful that I had taken a number of pictures of them while in beautiful bloom so if
I never can get these seeds to spout and grow, I do have something to remember them by. My friend has passed so
cannot get her input and since it takes 8 yr for them to bloom, I may just replace with clematis on the trellis. I've
never seen a Bonsai Wisteria so will look for it. I may even try to make one so will be following you. I appreciate
your mention to wait until they have woody growth before planting. I may put it out in the butterfly garden that
I'm planning so that I won't have the problem of it growing on and tearing up the Cedarwood of the house. :^)
Many blooms and blessings, p
Sorry to hear about your wisteria plants. I couldn't believe it when 'we heard that it can take up to 10 years for a seed grown wisteria to flower, but it must be true if yours only flowered after 8 years.
You should look up wisteria bonsai pictures online. They are awesome. I can only hope to come at least remotely close to something that beautiful.
Good luck with your butterfly garden and with growing wisteria again! Maybe you can find some wisteria plants at a local nursery for an affordable price so you don't have to way for another 8 years to see and smell those beautiful flowers in your garden again.
@@OddBonsai WONDERFUL NEWS....they aren't dead. They still look dead and I guess all the upper growth is but I took a knife and scraped several
big limbs toward the bottom and they are green! Now I've got to gently prune off the dead and see what happens. Also a few tiny limbs growing
from the bottom. I'm still going to try to to sprout the seeds but I think I
will see if I can find one at a nursery for the Butterfly Garden. Thank you so much. Blessings, p
Glad to hear they are still alive! I was wondering how cold it must have been to kill your wisterias since they are pretty hardy. You should be able to enjoy the wonderful flowers again in a couple of years.
Bad ass process
The video was really interesting, thanks for sharing! Best of luck with your Wisteria Bonsai.
I’ve never seen these seed pods on my wisteria and so I am curious if you’ve ever propagated wisteria from cutting? 👏🏻
Yes you may grow them from cuttings laid flat half buried in soil. Place pot in plastic bag to retain moisture.
Good nice
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this 🙂
I know it's early days, but may I ask when and how you would go about any pruning/wiring in future given that they are vines, and shoot up? Curious because I have a vine seedling as well.
When it comes to Wisteria I only have experience based on the full size one that I'm growing in my garden. But judging from its growth pattern I will probably let the seedlings grow undisturbed (no pruning) for one or two years until they gain some vigor as they seem to start off as slow growers. Once the plant gains some vigor it grows like crazy and it will need constant pruning through the growing season to keep it in shape.
So in short: I will let them grow freely until next summer. Around the end of the summer next year I will probably cut them back hard to start the development of the trunk. And we'll see what comes next...
When the plant is still in its skinny seedling state you usually want to let it thicken up before starting the actual shaping process with pruning and wiring.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Stefan
@@OddBonsai hi. Thank you for the video. I live in a colder climate - would you leave them out for a winter dormancy or bring them in?
Hi, I livr in a tempetate climate and I collected my seeds in late winter. So they were naturally stratified. For best results it is said that it's best to stratifu them at a temperature below 5 deg. C for about a month. So if you collect them in autumn you could keep them in the fridge for a month to simulate winter dormancy. But if you're not in a hurry I suggest that you let them hibernate naturally and collect them in late winter or early spring.
Wonderful video. I would love to adopt 1 of the plant!! Please send it my way.
I still have several left and I would be glad to offer you one but I don't think they would survive international shipping especially since they have grown a bit since I filmed the video.
I took my seeds from some pods that had dropped off my wisteria which last year had hundreds of pods. The pods are still there from last year and haven’t exploded or twisted. However the seeds I germinated took about a week or so and hey presto little inch high sprouts have appeared!
Thank you for the really clear explanation on growing the wisteria from seed! May i also check what type of fertilisers would you recommend for them?
Thank you for the feedback. I use a balanced NPK fertiliser for my wisteria. Something like 5-5-5 or 10-10-10. You can also use some general fertilizer for flowering plants in autumn when it reaches maturity and starts to flower.
@@OddBonsai Ah.. I have 14-14-14 osmocote, would that be suitable as well?
Yes, should be ok as long as you follow the indications on the fertiliser package.
@@OddBonsai Great! Thank you!
The "velvet" involving the 'seed pods' is amazing. Whoever discover a way to 'extract' it ...
I would love a couple of your extra pots of Wisteria :)
I'm sorry, but unfortunately there aren't any left (besides the ones I repotted to grow as bonsai). If you can get your hands on some seeds they are really easy to grow.
Thanks for the informative video. What suggestions do you have on keeping the seeds moist without the mold? I have not had much luck of germinating the wisteria seeds. I look forward to your advice.
Too much moisture and too little fresh air usually encourages mold. In my case, letting the jar "breathe" every day or so helped in keeping mold away. If germinating in a jar like I did in the video did not work for you, you could try using the wet tissue approach. If that doesn't work either then I suspect the wisteria seeds could be too old and have lost their ability to germinate .
saya dari indonesia, terima kasih berbagi pengalamannya, cara ini berhasil saya lakukan untuk menumbuhkan wisteria dari biji di iklim tropis.
This is a very informative video, thank you! I may have missed it but could you tell me how often you watered them?
Thanks, glad to help. I don't usually water on a schedule. I just check the soil and make sure it doesn't get to dry up completely.
The purple Cascading Wisteria are everywhere in Alabama. The blue I have not seen. But I'm going to have both in my yard.
thanks for your tutorial, its very clear. By the way, where do you keep seed in the jar when waiting them germinating? in the dark or light place?
I kept the jar in a darker corner of a room. It wasn't completely dark.
My sister's mother has a wisteria plant and she brought me home a seed so I did this method and it worked exactly like he said it would same amount of days and everything mines root popped out on day 5
Cool
Glad you like it! 🙏
Thanks for the video!
How can I help prevent burning the leaves? Gradual exposure before I actually planet in the balcony?
Amazing! I just starting growing them now, when i put them in a moist jar after hydrating them, one of them starting growing white mold on the top of it????
Well done brother I also tried wisteria seed germination a few months back but was not successful. A friend of mine gifted me 5 seeds, but they are a little smaller than your sprouts.
Thank you my friend! I remember the video and I was curious what kind of seeds you had. I asked Meet Gangwani and he said your seeds were Bolusanthus speciosus (tree wisteria). The ones I use here are from Wisteria chinensis which grows like a vine. Sorry to hear your seeds did not germinate, it would have been nice to see you make a bonsai from them.
@@OddBonsai Yes!
Thanks for your video! I am wondering what happens next. How do you care for this plant once it is in the nursery pot with the half perlite and half potting soil?
I care for it like I do for other plants. Water it whenever it needs water (usually when the top layer of soil starts to dry up), fertilize it and that's about it for now. When it gains vigor I'll also trim it to keep it in shape.
I will make an update video when it's time to prune it back (possibly next spring judging by its growth rate) but for now I'm just letting it grow.
I would love to see an update of those seedlings! Are you thinking of making an update?
They're not very fast growers so they only got an extra set of leaves since I posted the video.
I intend to document their development so I will make an update video with the 2 that I kept to grow as bonsai either this autumn or next spring when some trimming could be required.
Your video is very good, can i ask a question? Whats the white stuff on the black pot?
Stephan, I see a future Wisteria forest in your collection.
Ha ha ha! It would be quite a huge forest planting since the leaves are so large.
I would be really happy if I manage to get something nice out of the two that I decided to keep.
It's a pity we don't have anything similar to your bonsai club (KW Soc.). I could have given the seedlings away to club colleagues.
@@OddBonsai Where do you live again? you probably mentioned it before but I don’t remember. Maybe you can just pot them up or leave them in the ground for natural growth, maybe they will turn out to be really good and you can use them later. You could also join the KW bonsai society for now at least, all the meetings are virtual right now.
I live in Romania.
Yes, putting some of them in the ground could be an option (thanks for the idea) but not all of them. I think I got 20 or so seedlings, enough to start a life size forest :)
When I mentioned the club I was thinking more about the live interactions in which you swap or give away trees/seedling/cuttings in addition to the knowledge sharing part. I know you're mostly meeting online know but still you manage to squeeze in something like a trunk swap and I would be glad to participate in something like this. I tend to plant all the seeds and cuttings that I get so it would be nice have where to give some away from time to time. I tried various plant groups but didn't have much success yet! :)
@@OddBonsai yes the interaction could be difficult, you would have to fly over and attend a meeting... yes this is a problem.
@@MaybeBonsai Yup, attending live meetings would be a bit problematic :)
BTW, do they really accept overseas members?
Hola me encanto el video esta muy bien explicado y por pasos, me gustaria saber si pudieras decirme donde puedo conseguir semillas frescas de wisteria! ya sea la wisteria china o la japonesa, o ambas seria genial. ya compre una vez semillas en linea, pero creo que eran semillas viejas. intente varios metodos de germinado y ninguno se me dio y se pudrieron mis semillas, aun manteniendo la temperatura y la humedad espero puedas ayudarme lo agradeceria muchisimo! un saludo desde mexico y suerte. gracias por el video
Hola y gracias!
Lamento escuchar los problemas que tuvo con la germinación de glicinas hasta ahora. Lo más probable es que las semillas no fueran viables ya que la glicina es muy fácil de germinar.
Recogí mis semillas de una glicina que crece en un parque, así que eso es lo primero que recomendaría. Vea si puede identificar glicinas en un parque público o que crecen en cercas e intente recolectar las semillas a fines del invierno o principios de la primavera antes de que se abran las vainas.
Si esto no es posible, ordenar en línea es la única opción, pero no puedo recomendar una buena fuente en línea de semillas de Wisteria. Tuve una buena experiencia ordenando otros tipos de semillas en www.rarepalmseeds.com y www.rarexoticseeds.com para que pudiera probar una de estas o buscar otros vendedores con muy buenos comentarios de los clientes con respecto a la tasa de germinación de semillas.
Perdón por los errores de idioma, solo hablo un poco de español, así que utilicé el Google translate.
Si eres de México en específico puedes encontrar semillas de wisteria en MercadoLibre, yo conseguí 10 y todas germinaron
This just reminded me that I was given wisteria seed pods last year and need to plant them now. What direction does the seed pod get planted in after at sprouts? It looks like they were put in with the sprout portion facing down. Is the sprout the root or the plant? If it’s the plant I would think it needs to be facing upward when planted.
The sprout is the root so it will want to grow downwards. The leaves of the plant will grow after that from inside the seed.
Thank you! Was wondering how much you water them though ??
Thanks for the information, does the P.H of the soil has anything to do with the success of the plant? Also what temperature do we need to keep the plant when freshly transplanted? How much sun?
To be honest I never thought about the PH requirements of wisteria since it's the kind of plant that will thrive almost everywhere once it's well established. However, I looked it up and apparently it prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil but as I said it will adapt in most soil types.
If you're transplanting to it's final location in the garden place it in a sunny location. If it comes from a nursery you could plant it anytime but I would do it in spring. If you're just transplanting from one container to another I would keep it out of direct sun for a couple of weeks and try to provide same temperature as it was getting before transplanting. Hope this helps.
May I know when did you start germination what month? I live in an apartment in toronto ontario and I would like to start right now to have them germinate using your method. Is it still possible or is it already late? Amazing video as I learned something valuable.
Thanks for informative video after transferring in bigger pot do we have place it in bright sunlight or in less light ?
When you're just bringing them out after germination it is best to put them in indirect light. Leaves grown indoor will get easily sunburned.
What an excellent video. I'm going to try it but I'm worried that it's too soon to attempt germination even inside....It's almost New Year and I think there isn't enough sunlight. Should I wait until March?
If you have a south facing window where you could place the seedlings after they germinate you could try it. The winter solstice has passed so days are only getting longer now. Then in spring you can move the seedlings outside.
Do I use regular potting soil or cow compost? Thanks, great video. 😃
I used regular potting soil but compost should also be good.
You have a good presentation! I was very happy to apply your way of germination. I got different types of seeds from Amazon and Wish. I tried different ways to make it happen. Last one week I am eager to see any single root from 27 seeds but it is not come out. If you have any further advice?
Thank you, I am glad you found the video useful. If the seeds are viable they should germinate in a couple of weeks but as you saw from the video some are faster and some are slower. Older seeds will germinate slower as they are more dehydrated. The germination rate will also decrease if the seeds are older and the number of seeds that will not germinate will be higher in older seeds. You should check on the seeds at least once a week and let some fresh air in the jar to avoid rot and mold. The temperature is also a factor but if you keep them at a temperature above 15-18 degrees Celsius they should start to germinate.
I hope this helps and that you get a good germination rate from your Wisteria seeds. Let me know how it turns out.
I would like to have seeds/plants. Are there any way to get?
You mean Wisteria seeds? I thought you already bought some from amazon and Wish. Or were those other kind of seeds? I guess there should be some online sites selling Wisteria seeds. Buying plants online from international sellers can be a little tricky due to the shipping.
Loved your video on germinating the Wisteria seeds! Can you take different color wisterias, germinate them from seed and at some point carefully twist the main stalks to grow them into one tree with two or three colors?
I think it's something that can be done. The only potential problem would be if the different wisteria varieties have different growing vigor. In this case you may have a tree with a side that is growing much faster than the other sides which wouldn't look too good in my opinion. It's certainly a great idea and it should be worth testing it.
Yes you can. Just remember which seed pod is which when harvesting. Enjoy the flowe show.
I would be happy to care for ones that need homes :)
It's been a while since I posted the video and since then I ran out of seedlings to give away. Sorry about that. I was surprised at how many wonderful persons offered to adopt the extra wisteria seedlings. Even though I could not accommodate all requests due to long shipping times that would have killed the plants they found new homes pretty fast. 😊
Were there follow up videos? I typed in Wisteria in your main channel and only saw this video with "Wisteria". I bought a kit with multiple seed types for my wife for Mother's Day and it contained Wisteria, Japanese Maple, Judas Tree, and several others. I was hunting around for more information on Wisteria.
Wish you had mentioned where to place them as they grew. ie Sunny location, how often to water and when they'll
be able to be planted on an outside trellis. Any input from other gardners also welcome. Thanks so much! p
That's a good point but at the point I made the video I did not have much experience with growing wisteria from seeds myself. In the meanwhile I found that the young plants prefer lots of light but are sensitive to hot summer sun so better place them in indirect light. I have am mature plant in my garden and it has no problem growing in full sun. You can safely plant it in the ground once it gets a woody trunk 50-100cm tall. Hope this helps.
I failed growing plants last year, but what gets me is my seeds are not shaped like a coin, they are like a small bean. This germination process seems much easier than what I followed, they wanted me to score the seed to promote grow.
id love to have one of those Beauties i have a Blue one and they are gorgeaus
I think these are of the purple variety. I would gladly send one to anyone willing to adopt however the seedings would probably not survive international shipping since it takes so long...:(
Get seeds, soak in water (rain water if you can) put the container in a cupboard for 2 days. Remove container and add seeds to a paper towel, add water to towel, put it in a cup and back to the cupboard. Check daily for root tails and plant when you have a few. Some seeds are slow starters.
Could you tell me how it takes for the plant to mature and and grow and how many years will it begin to bloom??
Since I just germinated my wisteria seedlings this year I can not estimate how long it would take for them to mature and bloom.
The closest thing to what you are asking about is the experience that I had with my garden wisteria which was propagated from a rooted cutting about 1m high. It took maybe 2 years for the first flower to appear, and maybe after 2 or 3 more years it was already producing a lot of flowers in spring.
Heya ! I'm trying to grow one of those big wisterias to plant them in my backyard, not bonzais, any tips or any tutorial i can follow?
What size pots do you recommend for their first pots? When do you know when to repot?
I think for their first year a 10-15cm diameter pot should be ok. I can't give you repotting advice specific to Wisteria but in general you want to repot when the root system start to outgrow the pot.
The neighbour's Wisteria are blooming. Guess I'll snatch myself some seeds this year 😁
Make sure you let the seed pods mature properly. You can collect them in winter and up to early spring, before temperatures get high enough to make the seed pods pop open.
Until then you will surely enjoy the beautiful flowers and the great aroma.
When should I pluck the seed pod? Should I pluck it when it's starting to turn (lightly) brown, or when it's still green, or wait till fully brown?
Do you put these young plants away when the winter comes? Or leave them out? Thanks
Wisteria is a frost hardy plant so I leave them outside. Plants in small pots may suffer more from very cold temperatures so you can provide some extra protection by burying them in a thick layer of mulch.
Hello, I recently bought some wisteria seeds and soaked them in water for about 30 hours. I used the wet towel method but I noticed mold on the outer shell of 2 seeds. Now I planted the rest of them in soil. It’s been 7 days since I first soaked the seeds. How long should I wait them to sprout? Thanks for the awesome video btw
Personally, I would have left them sit on the wet paper towel until I notice any signs of germination. The germination time depends on the seed freshness. If they are fresh (1-2 years old), they should sprout in a matter of weeks (1-2). If they're old they could take longer to hydrate and there is a chance that some will not sprout at all if they are too old. Keep the soil moist (not wet) and don't loose faith. If there's no sign in a month I would dig up one or two and check them out.
That is the problem with paper towel germination .there's no fresh air coming into the bag so the old air and trapped moisture creates the perfect breeding ground for mould and fungus that's likely already present on the seeds and paper and bag .
Just soak and plant the extra steps in my experience aren't needed .if it's going to germinate it'll germinate weather you put it in a bag a jar or a cup of dirt .
@@MikeHunt-lz2hq Yes, providing fresh air while maintaining humidity is very important.
I guess the only reason for not sticking the seeds directly into the soil is that with these germination methods you get to see faster what your germination rate is and you only end up planting the viable seeds.
