How to fertilize Japanese Wisteria
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Japanese Wisteria after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

It looks different from the previous blue moon wisteria i had does anyone have any useful info or facts so I don't mess up my new child or accidentally kill it? I have always loved wisteria and tried to grow it when I lived in California. It grew but didn't get past two feet before dying. I moved to Missouri and tried again, I got it to grow beautifully and big but after a few months it suddenly stopped growing and I have no idea what happened. I was lucky to find this last blue moon wisteria randomly from passing by a cute little plant nursery on my birthday, only paid $5 for it but it has grown so fast and has these little buds I think. It looks different from the previous blue moon wisteria i had does anyone have any useful info or facts so I don't mess up my new child or accidentally kill it?

New bonsai has an odd leaf pattern. Hi! I’m new to growing bonsai and I have a Japanese wisteria plant that is about 1 month old. It was doing great, but recently its leaves have turned a little lighter and they have a brown venous pattern that keeps growing. It started out as just a small brown spot on the tips and progressed over the past week or so. It has been kept indoors in an east facing window sill, I just moved it out into the greenhouse last night now that the weather is a bit warmer. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have! #JapaneseWisteria

Unhealthy wisteria? This is Harry I got him in November as a "3 foot tall tree" but he was damaged to only having about 6 buds left when I got him he woke up this spring! But he produced one top bud and atart growing from it and all of his preexisting buds are completely dormant looking is this normal or is it something I need to fix?

Bought two blue moon wisteria. One looks happy and content and the other looks very sad. Just wondering what the cause likely is?

North American wisteria plant with yellowing leaves that we falling off. Hi, I've had my north American wisteria plant for about 2 months. About a month ago, I noticed the leaves yellowing and falling off. After researching, I bought some 10-10-10 fertilizer and added that with a watering. (I water regularly as suggested for this plant). She perked up a bit and then i noticed little bites in the leaves so I sprayed neem. Fast forward 2 weeks, she still looms sad and yellow. Any tips? Picture shown is the latest pic. Thanks #northamericanwisteria #yellowleaves #diagnosemyplant

How do I protect my potted outdoor Wisteria from overwatering with the frequent rain that hits the UK? We had several dry days and have had a whole day and night of rain and more is forecast, I don’t want it to die so I’m wondering if others use clingfilm or something over pots to stop too much water getting in? #japaneseWisteria #Wisteria

So the Greg app says my wisteria loves direct sun but in a different place it says bright indirect light. I’ve moved her a little here and there and am thinking she doesn’t like direct sun??!! Any thoughts? #BlueMoonWisteria
