Certified ExpertA.It is that time of year for most of the country. Less light and cooler temps triggers deciduous plants like wisteria to start going into their dormant phase. This is normal and is not a problem.

May 29, 2013Q.Moisture Level for a Potted Wisteria Tree
I have a Wisteria tree in a large pot on my sunny balcony. I am concerned about proper watering. I purchased a digital moisture meter to monitor it. The meter ranges from 1 to 10 with 1 being the least amount of moisture. What level would you recommend and how often should I water it?
Thanks, Kevin

May 29, 2013A.My best answer:
evenly moist...5 on your meter
until it pees...
often?...depends on temps, size of plant, wind, sun, moisture retention level of soil...too many factors to say.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

February 21, 2014Q.Wisteria Lumps
My 4-year-old wisteria, which grows in a very large pot, has developed lumps on some of the branches. They look like tiny oak apples. Is this a disease?

Certified ExpertA.These are called galls and they are like tumors on plants. Sometimes they are benign and only look ugly while other times they can be harmful. Keep an eye on the plant, but if you have not seen any decline in the plant so far, it is likely they are harmless.

May 31, 2014Q.Wisteria Vine
My wisteria vine is in a pot. At the end of some branches, the leaves are dead. Some branches have not leafed out at all. I live in AZ, elevation 3,500 ft. I did not find any gall. I do have petunias with it in the same pot. Would that affect the vine? It gets regular water. I read your article about wisteria problems. Too much fertilizer may be why it's not blooming, but I'm most concerned about the sparseness of leaves.

October 1, 2014Q.Wisteria climber for container
I have a 6 x 20 feet stone wall and would like to grow a wisteria climber along it. At the base is a paved drive. So my plan is to grow from a container but will this offer sufficient root development space? Would I need more than 1 plant?

October 2, 2014A.You certainly won't need more than one plant. You should use as large a container as you can find - something like a half barrel would probably work. Wisteria is such a vigorous and long-lived plant that containers can be problematical. You could look into miniature wisteria - that might even work better. These articles have information you should be able to use: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/growing-wisteria-proper-wisteria-vine-care.htm

Can wisteria be grown in a pot to control growth?

Certified ExpertA.Wisteria normally do not make good container plants because they grow too big and too fast. But, that being said, if you use a big enough pot or tub, the vine should make it, though it won't stay small. You will still need to prune the plant to keep it manageable. This article will help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/pruning-wisteria.htm
Should your wisteria get out of control, the following article may help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/controlling-or-getting-rid-of-wisteria.htm

January 1, 2015Q.potted wisteria plant
Have potted wisteria in a reasonably large pot (4 years). Had amazing flowers this year. New growth appears crumpled...leaves upright and not completely opened, and not new runners. Have not put manure to plant yet...not sure what to add here.

January 3, 2015A.First make sure you don't have a bug problem - distorted leaves are often caused by aphids or scale. After that turn your attention to cultural matters. If manure - well composted, I hope - is your preferred fertilizer, you might add some bonemeal to improve the phosphorous content. These articles have some advice: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/wisteria-leaf-curl.htm
