How deep is the pot used for planting Wisteria potted plants?

Wisteria is a rare bluish-purple flower among flowering plants. It begins to bloom in April and May every spring, producing clusters of bluish-purple butterfly-shaped corollas. Only the flowers can be seen, not the leaves, which is very beautiful.

In fact, Wisteria is a deciduous vine, a large climbing vine with high ornamental value. It is usually cultivated in courtyards and corridors, but with the development of gardening technology, such a large climbing plant can also be potted, and the potted wisteria is more beautiful and artistic.

How to plant potted wisteria

1. Growth environment

Wisteria flowers are very beautiful, and this plant is highly adaptable to the environment, but it is a plant of warm and temperate zones. It is generally more suitable for open-field cultivation in the south, while it can only be potted in the north.

Wisteria prefers an environment with sufficient light and ventilation. It is also shade-tolerant. However, if the potted wisteria that blooms in spring is placed in a well-lit place on the balcony, the amount of flowers and the color of the flowers will increase. It needs to be kept cool and ventilated in summer and autumn.

2. Flowerpot selection

When planting wisteria in a pot, be careful not to use a pot that is too small and shallow, because wisteria grows very fast, and its taproot is deep and its lateral roots are shallow. If the pot is too shallow, the roots of the wisteria cannot stretch, which can easily affect the growth of the plant.

Generally, a deeper flowerpot is used, and there must be drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Otherwise, the water cannot flow out without holes, which can easily cause the soil to be overly moist and cause root rot. A 40 cm deep flowerpot is enough. In addition, wisteria with deep taproots is not resistant to transplanting and can easily die after transplanting.

Wisteria care precautions

Wisteria is a vine plant. As it continues to grow, its branches will become longer, so you need to build a frame for it and tie its longer branches to the frame. This can not only comb its branches, but also improve its ornamental value. Secondly, do not water it excessively, as excessive watering will lead to water accumulation, which will cause root rot, so water it in moderation.
