Our wisteria has a white powdery residue on the vine. I originally thought it to be a mildew but the leaves do not appear to be infected. Please advise. what is the diagnosis and what can I do to treat my white wisteria? Thank you.
t sounds like you may still have powdery mildew. Neem oil can help. Here is more informaiton:

What causes my wisteria to not bloom every year? It is an old vine of three but this year no blossoms. Is there anything I can do to promote blooms? Thank you for your response.
It sounds like that it is lacking nutrients. I would recommend giving it some balanced fertilizer. I would also check that it is still getting enough sunlight. Sometimes, over time, surrounding plants and building can block sunlight from a plant and cause it to lose vitality.

Live in central TX. Large wisteria vine on sturdy fence. Water as needed but never blooms. What do I do get blooms?
Your Wisteria vine may need phosphorous.

Do wisteria tendrils die if you cut them off from their root supply? Mine turned brown but are still attached to my house's siding. Wisteria bloomed once in whole ten years it's been planted. Not invasive except for growing up side of the house. I had it supported by cheap plastic trellis, which it never bent or gnarled. Hired some painters (who I fired) who said it was impossible to remove them and wanted to paint over the tendrils. They says tendrils are growing under the siding, but tendrils are brown, have no water source, and have not grown since cut off from the rest off the plant about a year ago. I am a senior citizen and cannot climb up a ladder to the second story of our house to see alleged damaged for myself. I have to take the painters' word for it but I think it's a scam.
The vines if cut from plant are no longer alive. They in fact though may be very attached to your home, it's siding and have invaded under the siding. Wisteria is extremely invasive and if attached to a home can do great damage.
I would recommend you have a professional inspect your home and have the vines removed.
Best of luck.

I have two very nice wisteria vines that in the second year are already blooming. I know that the pods and seeds are poisonous, so my question is, can I cut them off the vine without damaging the growth? I have my wisterias growing up my pergola, so we do eat under the plants. Thank you for your help. You are welcome to share this question and answer, but I want to make sure I received the answer.
Yes, you may cut them off. It will not hurt the vine to do so.
This spring my husband dug up a small Wisteria vine that was growing at his son's home. He brought it home, replanted it with fresh soil in a sunny spot and watered it well. Within a few days, the leaves had all died and fell off. Is this normal or is the vine now dead? I can't see any new growth on it at all. My husband swears it will come back in the spring next year, but I am not sure.
These plants really resent being moved, so I'm fairly certain that it's simply suffering from transplant shock at this time. As long as the stems are still alive, it should recover and eventually regrow.

I have had a wisteria vine for 4 years and although the foliage is gorgeous, it has never flowered. Any idea?
I would guess that the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio is off. The soil may have an abundance of nitrogen, which would result in nice, healthy green growth but little to no blooms. Without the right amount of phosphorus, it will not bloom well. Bone meal is a great way to add phosphorus. This article will also help:
