    Really, they do not need much prep for winter. If you do fertilize, use a balanced fertilizer.

    Wisteria is tough and hardy, and suffers from very few diseases. First make sure the plant is getting enough water, but that the soil is well drained enough that it's not muddy. Other than this, the most likely problem is some kind of root problem, nematodes or galls. This article has more information: https://plantdiseasehandbook.tamu.edu/landscaping/shrubs/wisteria/

    They may be somewhere that is too warm, so make sure that they are out of direct sunlight and not too warm (60 -75 F is ideal). Second, your cuttings are rather long. I would recommend that the cuttings be 3-6" long. Any longer than this and they cannot support themselves very well before the roots come in.

    It sounds like there may be a root rot fungus in the soil. It would cause the plants to look under watered. Try soaking the soil with a fungicide. This may clear it up. Unfortunately, some forms of root rot are untreatable and the only fix is to remove affected plants before it spreads to other plants. But I would give fungicide a try first. Try treating the soil every other week for a few weeks and see if you see improvement.

    Trying to figure out what's wrong with a plant, you need to consider its environment - water, light, soil - and the appearance of leaves and branches. Also, if your wisteria is potted rather than in the ground, that can have a bearing on what's going on. You will want to make sure all the cultural variables are optimum; a plant that's healthy is going to be able to fight off many diseases. These article will give you a number of factors to consider: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/growing-wisteria-proper-wisteria-vine-care.htm
