Care and pruning of wisteria for bonsai. Including demonstrations of the type of pruning I do as well as the soil type and watering needs.
I am in the Pacific Northwest so these instructions generally apply here but they may work other places as well.

Hiya Caleb. Tendrils of Japanese wisteria grow clockwise. Chinese wisteria growth is counterclockwise. Bonsai pot for this little beauty at next leaf drop? Very cool overall shape. I have been using 1:1:2 akadama:lava rock:Smit’s Compost that has been sifted for 1/8”-1/4” particle sizes for the past 8 years with no detrimental effects. I repot every 5 years. If I could figure out how to post pictures of my wisterias here, I would. This is a spectacular year for them. All other info you have shared here is what I do, too.

Thanks Jeff. Got the email of your pictures. Definitely gonna pot it up this winter. I hear they do well in a smaller pot but I am, as always, nervous about taking off too many roots.

We ended up having the city replace that one tree with a wisteria. Glad to know I won’t have to bug you for how-to pruning advice, but don’t worry - I’m sure Kevin and I can find other ways to bug you 😜 Thank you!

@diybonsai1034 3 года назад

No worries. Keep in mind that the advice I am suggesting for these plants is specifically for bonsai so not everything will apply to your plant in the yard. But I hope it helps Carrie.

@@diybonsai1034 thank you so much! I didn’t realize that it would be any different so thank you for letting me know 💗

Excellent information. Your you may be dealing with an American wisteria vine. With extra care and some patience, it should become a beautiful bonsai.

@diybonsai1034 4 года назад

Insightful Reign. Thanks.

Great video... Question, I know this is about a year, almost to the day that you posted this video... how has your wisteria grown this past year and will you be posting an update, as I have recently gotten into wisterias and am attempting to do a bonsai with it...Your video was informative but would like to see more on your wisteria... thanks!

@diybonsai1034 3 года назад

Thanks Martillo. My wisteria grew well last season. The largest one, which was featured in this video, doesn’t grow a lot. I keep it pruned and it responds well. It just finished blooming and I allowed it because it has such pretty flowers. The smaller ones are very much still learning to be trees and not long vines.

I love your videos when will you upload again?

@diybonsai1034 3 года назад

I have been working on my kitchen remodel but hope to begin production this week.

@pip110.5 3 года назад

Great video. Apparently a Japanese Wisteria twines clockwise and a Chinese Wisteria twines anti-clockwise. Check out Peter Chan on his Herons Bonsai channel. Kind regards from London.

Thanks Pip. Appreciate the feedback

@kenzhikharisma 3 года назад

Sir what kind soil do you use for your wisteria?

@diybonsai1034 3 года назад

Wisteria like dense soils that don’t conform to traditional bonsai soil rules. I use a mixture of top soil and sand. It’s about a 60/40 split top soil to sand.

@kenzhikharisma 3 года назад

@@diybonsai1034 what if i dont have top soil, can i change with another mixture?

@diybonsai1034 3 года назад

Top soil is generally sand, organics like compost and plain old inorganic dirt. You can mix your own but I am not sure what you have in your area. If it’s me, I would use some clay dirt, sand and some compost. The key is not to sift for larger particles like you would with traditional bonsai soil. You want particles that compact well enough but still allow free draining soil. Also, I keep my pots in a tray to hold water.

@kenzhikharisma 3 года назад

@@diybonsai1034 well noted..and about the water tray sir, do you have experience about root rot?

@diybonsai1034 3 года назад

The water log promotes some root rot which makes room for more, finer roots that help uptake nutrients in the soil. I don’t recommend this every tree, just wisteria and willow. Hope that helps.
