How to care Wisteria Plants
Wisteria plants require regular watering and pruning to keep them healthy and blooming. They should be planted in well-draining soil and in an area of full sun or partial shade. Mulching around the base of the plants will help retain moisture and keep weeds away.
Wisteria plants prefer temperatures between 18-29 degrees Celsius. They can tolerate temperatures as low as 0 degrees fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius) for short periods of time, but they must be kept in a sheltered location and brought inside if temperatures are going to drop significantly.
Water your wisteria deeply at least once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Feed your wisteria in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
Prune your wisteria once a year in late winter or early spring. Cut back any long, whippy shoots to encourage branching and flowering.
Provide support for your wisteria to climb. Provide a trellis, fence, pergola, or arbor for your wisteria to cling to.
Keep an eye out for pests and diseases and treat them as required.
Provide lots of sunlight for your wisteria to encourage flowering.
Inspect the roots of your wisteria for any signs of damage or disease.
In colder climates, wrap the base of your wisteria with burlap to protect from winter cold.
