Why doesn't wisteria bloom?

Reasons for not blooming

Seedlings

The reason why wisteria does not bloom is that seedlings are planted, that is, seedlings cultivated from seeds. This kind of seedling usually needs to be cared for for 7 years before it can bloom, while normal grafted seedlings will bloom within 3 years.

Insufficient light

Seedlings planted in the ground or in pots need to receive at least 6 hours of sunlight. The maintenance process will be affected by factors such as different planting or placement locations and weather conditions. If conditions permit, artificial lighting can be provided.

Improper pruning

Novice flower growers do not know how to prune and simply cut off branches that grow too fast. In fact, those are the reproductive branches. Therefore, during the pruning process, if you don’t understand, don’t prune. Even if you need to prune, first cut off the dead branches and leaves, and then seek help from professionals.

Not repotting and changing the soil for a long time

The soil contains a large amount of trace elements, which are necessary conditions for root growth. When you don't repot or change the soil for a long time, the elements in the soil are depleted, the plants lack nutrient accumulation, and it is difficult for them to bloom!

Variety and other objective factors

There are many varieties of wisteria. In the same maintenance environment, some bloom less and some bloom late! These are uncontrollable factors. How it blooms depends on your original choice.

The rest is personal reasons. Maintenance depends on luck. Whether the timing of watering and fertilizing is correct will affect flowering!

Solution for no blooming

Choose good varieties that bloom

Sometimes it is not your fault if the plant does not bloom, but the plant itself blooms late or even does not bloom at all. Therefore, you should choose varieties that are easier to bloom.

Strengthen management and supplement nutrition

If the plant lacks nutrition and does not bloom due to improper maintenance, you need to strengthen maintenance and apply fertilizer 2 to 3 times during the growing period to ensure the supply of nutrients. Turn the soil and change pots in time to ensure that there are sufficient trace elements in the soil.

Reasonable pruning

Pruning should be based on the growth of the plant itself. If it grows too fast, weak branches and dead branches should be cut off in time. When the plant grows too slowly, do not prune it even if the time is right, so as not to affect flowering!
