I have great success growing wisteria from seeds. In the late winter-early spring, the flat burgundy seeds pop out of the long pods. I gather up a few dozen and keep them outside for the rest of the winter. In the late spring, I soak them for a day or two and then plant them in average soil, just under the surface of the soil. The majority will take. Another way I grow wisteria is to look under my wisteria tree in May - July. Many of the seeds I didn't gather in the winter will have rooted in the grass under the tree. I mow the yard weekly, and about 3 days after mowing I'll see lots of little plantlets under the tree. Each plant has a single seed that is visible on the top of the soil at the base of the plantlet. About half of these transplants will survive.
Just found you, love the spontaneity, you're a welcome fresh breeze instead of the usual boring instructional video. The accent is delightful to listen to and anyone that likes bunnies and other of natures creatures is ok by me.
Thank you for sharing. The second method (stems without foliage) is common, but the first method with foliage included is new to me - very helpful! Also, the rabbit made this video at least 10% more enjoyable. Thanks!
I like the video as clear demonstrations on how do cuttings from Wisteria. I have found that simply cutting one of the inch thick stalks and pushing it into the ground after a rain works quite well. In fact too well. It is an extremely aggressive plant, but possible in Europe not so much so. In the US, though, wisteria will completely take over anything it grows next to that will support it within just a few years. It loves to explore and will reach across gaps of a meter or two to reach an inviting structure to go after. That fence will be almost invisible in another 10 years.
Wisteria is lovely to look at and many animals are attracted to it. I think it is always a beautiful addition growing on a house or gazebo. Like most cultivated plants as long as it's not growing wild and killing native trees in the forest it's ok. The hope is nature will balance it's self out eventually. 🐝
AlwaysThere LOL, Ya they do that. We've got a few rabbits, chickens and ducks that live here. (they love to pop into the show whenever they can - and especially when i am digging.)
I eyed a beautiful Wisteria at my daughter's office building for years but thought I would need a large cutting. Now I know I can do it with no damage results! Thanks for adding a new technique to my collection. P.S. good luck with the neighbors/Lavender and attacking rabbits
I love the wild rabit that came into your video, so it grab my attention so I had to watch your video once again. But I must say your video very informative information. Thank you. From Canada
You are making this look too easy Scarlett. I understand about allergies. I have a problem with perfumes. I can be working in my garden behind my house. That is 50 meters back from the road. There is particular perfume that will give me an instant headache. If someone drives by with there windows open, I can smell it and I will get an instant headache. Thank you for the post and have a great day!
dakotabob10 I am sure I replied to you a few hours ago?! hummm Well what I sad was... WOW, You have one extremely sensitive allergy to perfume! Thanks for sharing, Scarlett
I was lucky enough to be given a wisteria, I have had it for like 3 years now, never seen a flower, dont know what color they are but im gonna propagate to make more thank you so much for your video, you now have a new subscriber
Hi +Karin Bingman, Thanks! I come by it naturally. This episode was particularly nutty. Thanks stopping by and giving me feed back. I really appreciate your kind words. Happy Gardening, Scarlett
TheEmptynester That's very sad! When we move the grounds will be bare. It's all coming with me. :) getting all these plants out of this garden and into the next will be a nightmare! thank goodness I have no plans of moving anytime soon. Scarlett
They only let me take samples of 8 plants. In the sales contract. I had over 250 hostas and many other things. I miss my plants but will never spend that amount of money again collection them.
Perfect timing! A friend just gave me a few wisteria clippings and said i can just put them in water and they will root quickly. After watching your video im going to try both dirt and water rootings. I also had very long clippings and just had them in water. You've shown me that isnt going to work either. Hopefully i can start the clippings in early August and the can make it through a Michigan winter. I purchased a trellis arbor for the wisteria the same day i got the clippings guess you could call me optimistic...lol! Thanks for the information. Oh yeah... i definitely need a bunny or two for my backyard..lol! Maybe i just start with the wisteria first!!
Hi Scarlett, I realize that this is an older video, but it’s exactly what I needed, thank you! I may be a bit of a dunce, but I don’t seem to be able to find your “propagating soil mixture” video...can you (or anyone else) please help me? I could spend hours and hours on your channel (and will eventually, I suspect!) but need to go be productive! Thanks so much!
Hey, did you ever do a follow up? Wondering which worked better. I just planted some clippings from an evergreen wisteria, and I'm hoping to plant them under my deck. It's got to be the prettiest vine I've ever seen. Thank you
+David Peterson, lol yes you did see a rabbit. I have a few toilet trained pet rabbits that live careless in the house (they mostly hang out in the living room) and are free to come and go from garden to house whenever they want. they put their paws up on the window if the doors closed and they want in or out. Happy Gardening, Scarlett
+ctrygrl3, Not a rabbit cage... instead we have door-less shelters around the garden for the pets to hang out in when they want shade or the cat to get out the rain.
Good stuff. Glad you keep in all the retakes and the neighbor's saw sound - way better than a sterile "this is how to properly propagate wisteria" video. I like your wood planting boxes there. Thanks for posting!
Would love to see how these very plants turned out. Do you think you could give us another little window into how they grew? LOVED your video...despite the crazy people around you, you made it fun to watch. I'll be back for more!
Hi blondmyk, I will definitely do a few more episodes on the wisteria. The wisteria on this wall is just starting to green up where as the wisteria growing on the main pavilion on the patio is now starting to bloom. I'll do a follow up to this and show you how much it has grown probably in June when it is fully green and maybe again at the end of the season in September. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Gardening, Scarlett
ward coysman Here's this springs wisteria update. ruclips.net/video/4kBqpNXGuhs/видео.html (I cover both this wall wisteria and the white flowering wisteria that's growing on the pavilion)
He there Scarlett you have a great channel. if i may comment on the cutlings. you might want to try sometimes to wound the cutling when it is still on the main plant. then rap wet cotton around it then rap aluminum foil around that. keep it wet till roots grow out and then cut it of and plant it. its fast cheap and easy. and fun. : ) thanks for your vids.
Erik Wappa Hi Erik, the propagating technique you described is called air layering. This is how I like to propagate my fig trees and the occasional rose bush. I did something similar in the episode 'propagating raspberries'. Thanks for the tip. Scarlett :)
Is there a follow-up video on how they all went? I'm curious about the one in the water. Also, if I can take cuttings right at the start of spring when green buds form.
What is the best time of year for this? We got married in a beach when the wild wisteria was in full bloom and would love a cutting of this particular Wisteria for our yard. Covid-19 prevented us from having the ceremony to renew our vows this year so this would be a perfect year to propagate our cuttings.
Hi Scarlett! Great information. I have been looking for your video with the type or mix of your soil. Could I bother you to help me find that video? Loads of thanks and watch out neighbors because I'm going to have a great wisteria plant, in a year or so! 😉
+Mark Shaver, I bought a few this summer I’m keeping them in a large self watering pot in the living room. (We recently moved to zone 5b in Canada) Eventually i hope to once again grow lots of wisteria. But for now I’m also learning. As soon as i find a good hardy plant I’ll do a video on it. 😁
How about mentioning how long it will take to root, how long one has to keep it in a warm place before planting out, how long in water before roots should appear, and how long to flower once rooted and planted out? Not enough detail in the video.... nice bunny though. What about the compost mix ratios? I could go on but have moaned enough.
Okay Scarlett I tried from my aunts plant years ago and failed. I remembered you and watched again. Mine are out of control now so I am taking cuttings to root. Mine bloom so I want a clone or clones for mom so she can have some that bloom.
Hi Scarlet! How are you doing? The video is SUPER, lot of techniques, definitely worth it! I live in Italy and in my country-side house I have a wonderful wisteria and since I was a baby planting boy I'm trying to plant my own one from branches but I've never succeeded! When do you think it's better to practice these techniques of propagation? Can I do them now or is it better in June with the start of the summer? Have a nice day!
I'd start them now and keep them in the window all winter and if they don't take try again in the spring. Try this: take your cuttings and wounding the bottom, remove most of the leaves but don't hurt the nodes at the base of the leaves. Them put your cuttings in a glass of water for a month or more and if they sprout plant them up.
Scarlet I really enjoyed your video. Very fun and interesting.. you are great . Keep up the good job. Ps: I can't find the instructions/video where you mentioned what is needed compost mix wise to grow the cuttings . Please send me the link. Safx
Great video thanks (y) I bought a Wisteria plant the other day ago and found out that the plant right at the top was broken :-( ...can I still propergate it ?
Jeanne Märtin If it's a small plant (less that 5 feet tall) I recommend planting it now and letting its roots develop. I would then start propagating it next year. The top being broken isn't a problem in fact this means your plant will now make more shoots and you'll get a bushier wisteria next year (with more ends to propagate from) Happy Gardening, Scarlett
How to Grow a Garden with Scarlett Damen Oh thanks a lot. I think one can put a bit of Hormone rooting power on the top that was broken for it to grow again . :-)
I have a friend that is allergic to avocados but he LOVES to eat them. Everytime he eats one a huge ugly (Like in the movie the Help) lump grows on his lip. Hilarious! But poor him XD
Wisteria sends out runners and unless you maintain it it will spread through your yard and into your neighbors. Plant a less invasive plant! I just spent four hours removing vines from trees and riping up runners
I really enjoyed watching this video, even the (unfortunate) part with your allergies. I guess I appreciated the realness of the video. :) Anyway, I tried all of your strategies X2 and only the water cuttings are still alive over a month later. I haven't seen the slightest bit of root forming though so I'm not sure if they are truly successful or not. I don't really know what to do... should I keep them and keep waiting? I'm worried about the brownish slime that begins forming on plants in water.
Hi Tracie Howe, Although taking cuttings in theory is really simple in reality its crazy hard. It took me 3 years and several tries a year to get it right. I find I have the most success taking the cutting placing it in water for 3 or 4 days and then potting it up in very damp soil. the key here is to keep the soil wet/soggy and warm. (and I have better success when I keep the pot in the shade) when I see new leaves on top I then know roots are being formed. You can move the pot into the ground but it's hard to keep it really wet when it's in the ground. they should be treated more as seedlings for the first year or so. In regards to the cutting you have I like to change the water every 2 or 3 days. Let me know if that helps. Scarlett
How to Grow a Garden with Scarlett Damen Thank you for your quick response! Good to know it's hard for an expert too. :) I can try a few planting in soil. Can you recommend the best soil mix for that? I seem to struggle with the right soils more than anything.
Hi Tracie Howe, My recipe is lots of black humus (finished compost) with a bit of sand and lots of one year old horse manure and a bunch of worms. This is what I use everywhere.
Hy. How long does it take to root for the first example the one with leafs put in the pot? Also are you using rooting hormon for them? And how high is the rooting procent approximately? As I may not have a second chance to thaik cutting from thet specific wisteria to not freak is oner out with going back as he is a stranger hu let my thake a cutt, and may not like being botherd a second time...
Klara-Maria Varro If you only have one chance at taking a cutting and you want 100% success than I recommend practice on plants your already growing. It definitely takes practice and patience to get the cuttings to grow. I'd say on average there is a 70% success rate. some cutting just don't want to root. As for rooting hormone I use honey. It keeps the wound moist and protected from disease as honey is an antiseptic. (Honey also works wonders on human cuts and scratches too.) It can take a month or two for the cutting to develop roots. the secret here is patience make sure you choose a pot that you can leave the cutting in for quite some time and never let it dry out. Hope that helps. Scarlett
Thank you so much for the video. I have a pathetic looking Wisteria...it's been a year or two, and it's still tiny. TINY. How long do I expect to see some flowers?
ThursdayDog Your very welcome. The wisteria featured in this episode is 4 year old. You might want to feed it and definitely give it some time to get going. It helps if it's not competing with other plants (weeds) I like to keep the base weed free and mulched with finished compost. Give it some time, sun, water and food and it'll grow.
4 year old? WOW...I must be doing something wrong. My wisteria is now 3 year old, and it is just an extremely extremely small plant. They are free from weed, and I do mulch them. Thank you.
ThursdayDog Perhaps it needs more food. this plant is growing right next to the rabbits favourite hang out spot in the garden. it gets lots and lots of constant mild fertiliser in the form of rabbit droppings. I think that might explain the difference.
Just a thought...but why would you not just inform people of the preferred soil type to propagate Wisteria in!? 🤔 Easier than referring to the comments, which I never do...I literally just skipped this video, as it's not informative enough, and moved onto the next.
6:32 ..best rabbit appearence ever ! :) hue hue hue hue !!! ^-^ ..btw, could you show us the "wounding" thing a little closer ? ....dont quite got the idea on how its done :[ (or another explicit video on this technique)
sorin990 Basically just scratch that outside layer off. Like with people, if our top layer of skin gets taken off (road rash, etc) we naturally produce a puss like gel to "mend" our "wound". However, with flowers, trees, vines, etc, it will produce new roots instead of a cover as our skin does (scar tissue) So it's easy just take off some of that outer layer on whatever you are trying to get roots to grow from. It works on anything you're trying to propagate and it's very simple. Just scratch with the sides of the sharp edge of scissors,etc. Good luck!! 🤗
Hello! I have my cuttings growing in a vase for about 6 or 7 weeks. Some of them didn’t go through but there are at least two that seem ok. What shall I do now? Shall I move them to separate and bigger vases? Thank you!
+How to Grow a Garden with Scarlett Damen ooh duh' i now remember seeing a video that suggested that before. glad i saw that. and i will be checking out more of your videos . thanks
What a bummer being allergic to lavender! I wonder if you'd have the same reaction to Russian sage. It kind of has the same look in a garden...kind of. Neither my mom or I are allergic to poison ivy. We can rip it out with bare hands and never get a single bump. But I've got to be careful so I don't infect my family since the rest of them are all highly allergic. They come running when they see poison ivy so I can intervene! Again, great video. After this series I'm going to have to restrain myself from going around the neighborhood snipping people's garden specimens! LOL
brightpurpleviking Wouldn't that be cute! dressed in all black with garden snippers and a spray painted black basked on your arm. Sneaking down the street in the middle of the night. :) You might as well be tossing some guerrilla gardening seed bombs while your at it. :)
@@HowToGrowAGarden Hello again! Tip: I tried to grow Wisteria from seeds (beans). They begin beautiful. After they consume seed nutrients most of them die. Because root cannot follow the growing of the plant. So, the tip: After they reach 2-3 leaves You cut the upper side of the little plant, so to let only the first (bottom) leave. From this leave begins the plant! For sure!
Thanks for the info. Have a not quite yet, 60 year old Wisteria, and wondered if I could propagate it. I want Wisteria on the Hong Kong Orchid tree, the large Mango tree, and the Magnolia in yard #2. Wisteria is, for Central Florida standards, awfully hard to find here in the Tampa Bay area. As that one idiot over at the nursery in St. Pete said: "They don't make them anymore"....LOL! And I can relate to plant allergies. I found out the hard way, that I am allergic to mango, and the squirrels and rabbits in my 2 yards front and back, keep dragging the pits, and they grow into trees. Have 3 now, including the parent tree, and it's going to bear several hundred mangos....again. I can use the shade, and the neighborhood loves the large purplish mangos....I can't chop it down, lest I anger the peace in the neighborhood....LOL!
Hi Cathy Aragon, if a small cutting grows in optimal conditions it should take 2 to 3 years to get establish in its new spot, grow tall and start blooming. If it's a cutting from an old plant and you use a branch instead of just a small twig or leaf cutting it will still take way less time to establish its self. So the answer is 2 to 3 years. Happy gardening Scarlett
I love wisteria, but it doesn't do well over here. How sad to be allergic to lavender, I'm allergic to trees in the spring and ragweed in summer, I sympathize :/
Freese Family Wisterias can flower in the early spring and again in mid summer (depending on the weather). If you clip all the flowers (deadhead) before they go to seed the plant will make more and you'll have a longer season of wisteria flowers.
Thank you for your simple, straight-to-the-point video on how to propagate wisteria. I wish all tutorials were like yours
Any follow up on how the cuttings did?
A little informative i found 🤷🏻♂️ info that could be easily given in the video, is for some reason, neglected to be mentioned.

Mrssoappeddler Your very welcome!
Hi really enjoyed your video! Do you need 2 plants for pollination, and if so do they need to come from different wisteria plants?
Hi Scarlett! Great information. I have been looking for your video with the type or mix of your soil. Could I bother you to help me find that video? Loads of thanks and watch out neighbors because I'm going to have a great wisteria plant, in a year or so! 😉
Love those planter boxes. Have you made a video on making those?
Loved this video. Informative and very helpful. Looking for a wisteria that will thrive in zone 4b in Colorado--any ideas?

Jeanne Märtin If it's a small plant (less that 5 feet tall) I recommend planting it now and letting its roots develop. I would then start propagating it next year. The top being broken isn't a problem in fact this means your plant will now make more shoots and you'll get a bushier wisteria next year (with more ends to propagate from)
Happy Gardening,
Scarlett
How to Grow a Garden with Scarlett Damen Oh thanks a lot. I think one can put a bit of Hormone rooting power on the top that was broken for it to grow again . :-)
No worries It will grow side shoots from the nodes just below the break. :-)
extremely easy ,how long to take to bloom fall is okey to propagate
They take a few years to grow large enough to bloom.
Just great information 👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌
I have a friend that is allergic to avocados but he LOVES to eat them. Everytime he eats one a huge ugly (Like in the movie the Help) lump grows on his lip. Hilarious! But poor him XD

Wisteria sends out runners and unless you maintain it it will spread through your yard and into your neighbors. Plant a less invasive plant! I just spent four hours removing vines from trees and riping up runners
I really enjoyed watching this video, even the (unfortunate) part with your allergies. I guess I appreciated the realness of the video. :) Anyway, I tried all of your strategies X2 and only the water cuttings are still alive over a month later. I haven't seen the slightest bit of root forming though so I'm not sure if they are truly successful or not. I don't really know what to do... should I keep them and keep waiting? I'm worried about the brownish slime that begins forming on plants in water.
Tracie Howe PS: the original plant is a beautiful specimen if that makes any difference.
Hi Tracie Howe, Although taking cuttings in theory is really simple in reality its crazy hard. It took me 3 years and several tries a year to get it right. I find I have the most success taking the cutting placing it in water for 3 or 4 days and then potting it up in very damp soil. the key here is to keep the soil wet/soggy and warm. (and I have better success when I keep the pot in the shade) when I see new leaves on top I then know roots are being formed. You can move the pot into the ground but it's hard to keep it really wet when it's in the ground. they should be treated more as seedlings for the first year or so. In regards to the cutting you have I like to change the water every 2 or 3 days. Let me know if that helps.
Scarlett
How to Grow a Garden with Scarlett Damen Thank you for your quick response! Good to know it's hard for an expert too. :) I can try a few planting in soil. Can you recommend the best soil mix for that? I seem to struggle with the right soils more than anything.
Hi Tracie Howe, My recipe is lots of black humus (finished compost) with a bit of sand and lots of one year old horse manure and a bunch of worms. This is what I use everywhere.
How long you leave plastic bag on for? How long before they start roots
Thank you, helpful video! The vocals are quite low but I got the gist of it. Love the rabbit surprise at 3:23!
Hy. How long does it take to root for the first example the one with leafs put in the pot? Also are you using rooting hormon for them? And how high is the rooting procent approximately? As I may not have a second chance to thaik cutting from thet specific wisteria to not freak is oner out with going back as he is a stranger hu let my thake a cutt, and may not like being botherd a second time...
Klara-Maria Varro If you only have one chance at taking a cutting and you want 100% success than I recommend practice on plants your already growing. It definitely takes practice and patience to get the cuttings to grow. I'd say on average there is a 70% success rate. some cutting just don't want to root. As for rooting hormone I use honey. It keeps the wound moist and protected from disease as honey is an antiseptic. (Honey also works wonders on human cuts and scratches too.) It can take a month or two for the cutting to develop roots. the secret here is patience make sure you choose a pot that you can leave the cutting in for quite some time and never let it dry out.
Hope that helps.
Scarlett
Thanks hope that I will succeed
Love it - how long does it take to see roots in the water?
Which prop method forms roots the quickest?
Thank you so much for the video. I have a pathetic looking Wisteria...it's been a year or two, and it's still tiny. TINY. How long do I expect to see some flowers?
ThursdayDog Your very welcome. The wisteria featured in this episode is 4 year old. You might want to feed it and definitely give it some time to get going. It helps if it's not competing with other plants (weeds) I like to keep the base weed free and mulched with finished compost.
Give it some time, sun, water and food and it'll grow.
4 year old? WOW...I must be doing something wrong. My wisteria is now 3 year old, and it is just an extremely extremely small plant. They are free from weed, and I do mulch them. Thank you.
ThursdayDog Perhaps it needs more food. this plant is growing right next to the rabbits favourite hang out spot in the garden. it gets lots and lots of constant mild fertiliser in the form of rabbit droppings. I think that might explain the difference.
Thank you so much.
Just a thought...but why would you not just inform people of the preferred soil type to propagate Wisteria in!? 🤔 Easier than referring to the comments, which I never do...I literally just skipped this video, as it's not informative enough, and moved onto the next.
6:32 ..best rabbit appearence ever ! :) hue hue hue hue !!! ^-^ ..btw, could you show us the "wounding" thing a little closer ? ....dont quite got the idea on how its done :[ (or another explicit video on this technique)
sorin990 Basically just scratch that outside layer off.
Like with people, if our top layer of skin gets taken off (road rash, etc) we naturally produce a puss like gel to "mend" our "wound".
However, with flowers, trees, vines, etc, it will produce new roots instead of a cover as our skin does (scar tissue)
So it's easy just take off some of that outer layer on whatever you are trying to get roots to grow from.
It works on anything you're trying to propagate and it's very simple.
Just scratch with the sides of the sharp edge of scissors,etc.
Good luck!! 🤗
Rabbit steals the show?

are these the same as the water wisteria... that people plant in aquariums??
+Ty Dang, that would need to be one HUGE aquarium.
No, I think you're talking about a different plant.

Hello! I have my cuttings growing in a vase for about 6 or 7 weeks. Some of them didn’t go through but there are at least two that seem ok. What shall I do now? Shall I move them to separate and bigger vases?
Thank you!
3:22 is that your pet wabit? Never had any luck but I will try your methods. Thanks
yep there are many animals hopping around here. lol all are my pets.
Hello. I noticed you did not use any hormone powder - do you recommend not using? Thanks for the video.
+MARY MEADOWS, I found I never needed it. I do occasionally use honey for the plants that are harder to propagate.
+How to Grow a Garden with Scarlett Damen ooh duh' i now remember seeing a video that suggested that before. glad i saw that. and i will be checking out more of your videos . thanks
Aloe Vera gel contains salicylic acid, the active ingredient in rooting hormone. Cover the cut end in gel and keep moist.
How do you know when to repot wisteria?
What a bummer being allergic to lavender! I wonder if you'd have the same reaction to Russian sage. It kind of has the same look in a garden...kind of. Neither my mom or I are allergic to poison ivy. We can rip it out with bare hands and never get a single bump. But I've got to be careful so I don't infect my family since the rest of them are all highly allergic. They come running when they see poison ivy so I can intervene! Again, great video. After this series I'm going to have to restrain myself from going around the neighborhood snipping people's garden specimens! LOL
brightpurpleviking Wouldn't that be cute! dressed in all black with garden snippers and a spray painted black basked on your arm. Sneaking down the street in the middle of the night. :) You might as well be tossing some guerrilla gardening seed bombs while your at it. :)
LOL! How would I explain that to a policeman? "Yes, officer. I truly was only interested in their rare variety of trumpet vine."
brightpurpleviking
Sure, sure, hands on you head!
Hello. in which month can do so?
Thanks for sharing Scarlett, I've subscribed :)
Thank You!
you're welcome
@@HowToGrowAGarden Hello again! Tip: I tried to grow Wisteria from seeds (beans). They begin beautiful. After they consume seed nutrients most of them die. Because root cannot follow the growing of the plant. So, the tip: After they reach 2-3 leaves You cut the upper side of the little plant, so to let only the first (bottom) leave. From this leave begins the plant! For sure!
thank u ur such a doll 😀
bunny!!! I love your videos. So fun.
Thank you!
How to make them flowers after that ?
When is the best time you start to cutting for to grow a other one??
There is a lot of wild Wisteria where I live.
+David Peterson, I bet it's beautiful!
Yes. And smells great. It will be spread across four or five 50 foot trees on the side of the road.
Great video! Can you do forsythia and willow the same way? Lilac?
Yes you can 😊
Black bunny!! Now I learned two things
Choose American wisteria over Chinese wisteria, especially in the south, where it's highly invasive.

random bunny hoppin by
came for info got a extra bunny cameo
Shouldn't I wait until autumn when plant is dormant to take cuttings? It looks like it is Spring in the video
Cuttings from the new growth vines in the spring will take to rooting easer then cuttings taking from old growth vines.
These will take forever to bloom, won't they? Air layering is the way to do it if you want a blooming plant.
Please give a link or comment on the progress.
My wisteria did really well. Here’s the link to my wisteria playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLq4H-jGGfMPawxccOf1sQVHjYHjxp6cD0
how do you know you donn have it upside down/ you are rather fast. i rewound a few times....
Thanks for the info. Have a not quite yet, 60 year old Wisteria, and wondered if I could propagate it. I want Wisteria on the Hong Kong Orchid tree, the large Mango tree, and the Magnolia in yard #2. Wisteria is, for Central Florida standards, awfully hard to find here in the Tampa Bay area. As that one idiot over at the nursery in St. Pete said: "They don't make them anymore"....LOL! And I can relate to plant allergies. I found out the hard way, that I am allergic to mango, and the squirrels and rabbits in my 2 yards front and back, keep dragging the pits, and they grow into trees. Have 3 now, including the parent tree, and it's going to bear several hundred mangos....again. I can use the shade, and the neighborhood loves the large purplish mangos....I can't chop it down, lest I anger the peace in the neighborhood....LOL!
When is the best time to do this? spring?
Spring or early summer is best. But I have also propagated wisteria in fall.
I grow mine from seeds from the two existing plants
How long will it take to bloom afterwards....?
Hi Cathy Aragon, if a small cutting grows in optimal conditions it should take 2 to 3 years to get establish in its new spot, grow tall and start blooming. If it's a cutting from an old plant and you use a branch instead of just a small twig or leaf cutting it will still take way less time to establish its self.
So the answer is 2 to 3 years.
Happy gardening
Scarlett
My wisteria comes every year but never flowers only leaves. Any idea?
They usally start only after 10 years but then come out in all their glory.
I love wisteria, but it doesn't do well over here. How sad to be allergic to lavender, I'm allergic to trees in the spring and ragweed in summer, I sympathize :/
No rooting hormone?
She didn’t say when best time to do that. Does anyone know?
new growth or older growth vine?
This is a new growth wisteria. When propagating you want to use new growth.
I'm probably missing something plainly visible, but I'm looking for more information on the composition of the propagating medium, if anyone knows...
Anything wet will work.
Has anyone tried this, and did it work?
I've tried it and it works lol
Lmao my neighbor's the same way so I feel for you
The Black Rabbit of Inle! Run!
how long before it flowers
Freese Family Wisterias can flower in the early spring and again in mid summer (depending on the weather). If you clip all the flowers (deadhead) before they go to seed the plant will make more and you'll have a longer season of wisteria flowers.
