Gardenhint: the Wisteria

Wisteria  is an undemanding plant that also bears the polluted atmosphere of cities. We plant between October and March in any medium, provided not too much lime, preferably fertile and well drained. However, he needs a lot of exposure to the sun for best flowering. Although it may sometimes have difficulty nell'attecchimento (so it is best to plant specimens grown in pots), grows vigorously after the first year, requires no special care and unaffected by frost. All wisteria plants are vigorous and very significant development: it is better to take this into account and allow them ample room to work. The roots expand greatly, and if too close to floors or walls, can cause damage. The stems, branches and twining, need support in the early stages of development to start them on surfaces without handles.  

Following woody trunks and become real, even of large diameter at the base. By the way, a curiosity: in the present Japanese drums are wrapped around the support in a clockwise direction, and wrap themselves in the opposite direction than the Japanese species! Given the vigor of the plants, it should provide support for avoiding branches that can be wound through the bars of the cancellation or intertwining networks: over time would eventually encompass and damaging them.



After several years of cultivation in a vase, wisteria, kept under the natural harbor should be transplanted in the ground, because the roots need to grow large quantities of land. Or, provide a drastic reduction of the ground and root and start growing from a single stem, like a tree, shortening the regular classes.

 
Pick the leaves of the wisteria and then dried concimatelo with mineral fertilizers low in nitrogen, otherwise it will come back again aphids and red spider mites that have infestalo during the summer.
A beautiful shape that you can give your balcony wisteria (grown in pots), because we always give you a nice effect, is an umbrella. Educate to the wisteria tree, leaving only a fuslo. Clip it to a lutare and remove the side shoots. The third beat year will expand branches in a prescribed form, stopping at a small frame.
