It is very beautiful. In fact, wisteria is a deciduous vine, which belongs to climbing and winding vines and has high ornamental value. There are usually many courtyards and corridors. With the development of gardening technology, such a large climbing plant can also be potted, and potted wisteria is more beautiful and artistic. So, how to cultivate potted wisteria? Today, I will introduce this method to Huayou:

How to cultivate potted wisteria? Mastering the six methods, bloom is beautiful in spring. growing environment

Wisteria is very beautiful and is loved by many flower friends. However, although this plant has strong adaptability to the environment, it is a pity that it is a warm temperate plant. Generally, open cultivation in the south is more suitable, and potted plants can only be used in the north.

Wisteria likes an environment with good lighting and ventilation, and is also resistant to shade. However, potted wisteria that blooms in spring should be placed in a place with good lighting on the balcony to increase the number and color of flowers. Keep cool and ventilated in summer and autumn.

It is a temperate plant, which is slightly cold-resistant in our north. Wisteria leaves and sleeps in winter. As long as the temperature is not lower than 0 degrees, you can spend the winter in the lee of the balcony. Once it is below 0 degrees, it will be cultured in the greenhouse.

② Selection of flowerpots

Attention should be paid to potted wisteria, and small and shallow pots should not be used, because wisteria grows fast, with deep main roots and shallow lateral roots. The roots of wisteria are too shallow to stretch, which easily affects the growth of plants.

Generally, deep flowerpots should be used, and there should be drainage holes at the bottom of the pots. Otherwise, there will be no water to flow without holes, which will easily lead to excessive soil moisture and rotten roots. It is similar to using a 40 cm deep flowerpot. Avoid using wisteria which is too shallow and has deep taproots. Transplantation is difficult, and transplantation is easy to die.

③ Soil selection

Wisteria is beautiful and barren-resistant. It does not choose soil. But if potted, don't use the prepared clay to avoid water accumulation and root rot caused by poor soil drainage. Although wisteria planted in the ground can grow in poor and humid soil, after all, it is vast and rich in resources, and potted plants will be limited.

Potted wisteria must know that it belongs to a rigid root plant with few and shallow lateral roots. It is best to prepare loose, fertile, well-drained and moist sand for it. Mix garden soil, humus soil and cinder evenly, or add appropriate amount of bone meal as base fertilizer when serving in a basin.

④ Upstream basin

The lateral roots of wisteria are few and shallow, that is, its main roots are long. Generally, when we change pots or move wisteria, we should not remove its lateral roots, nor trim the main roots short, but cut off the rotten roots.

Wisteria should be transplanted in early spring every year. It is best to bring soil balls and dig as many lateral roots as possible to improve the survival rate. Put the transplanted wisteria in the position of ventilated scattered light, and pour root-fixing water for later use. Wisteria had better build a shelf after the pot ends, and tie its thick branches to the shelf with ropes until the branches grow leaves for the branches to climb.

(5), watering, fertilization

Wisteria has deep roots, thick branches and luxuriant leaves. Don't give it too much water and fertilizer, lest the tree grow too vigorously and make its branches and leaves not bloom.

Spring is the growth and flowering period of wisteria, and the soil in the watering basin is wet and dry alternately. If fertilization is needed, organic fertilizer and calcium superphosphate must be applied when transplanting in early spring. After that, during the growing period, topdressing the wisteria with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, once every 7∽ 10 days, divided into three times, which is beneficial to the flowering of wisteria.

When the basin soil is dry in hot summer, it should be poured thoroughly in the evening, and the environment is ventilated and cool; In autumn, the weather turns cold and the watering interval is lengthened; Wisteria goes into dormancy in winter to control watering. Note: there should be no water in the basin in rainy season to prevent the roots from rotting.

Remember, potted wisteria will not bloom when it is not growing well, so it is best to add fertilizer to supplement the nutrients absorbed by plants and promote flowering; If the growth is too strong and there are too many branches and leaves competing for nutrients, there will be no meeting. It is suggested to cut off the crowded branches and leaves, reduce the absorption of nutrients, and concentrate on accumulating nutrients for flowering on the remaining branches.

Step 6: Trim

Wisteria is a vine, which grows rapidly. If you want to make potted flowers look good, you'd better trim them and combine scaffolding to improve their ornamental value. In winter dormancy period, its branches are stretched and tied on a bracket, and branches of pests and diseases are cut off; In the growth stage, cut off the crowded branches and leaves, leaving a little thin, breathable and translucent.

When there is residue in wisteria flower stage, prune the remaining flower branches to avoid further consumption of nutrients. After flowering, you can leave 5-6 buds on the branches in the middle of wisteria, and then cut off the twigs and insect branches that affect the growth. The purpose is to promote the formation of flower buds in the second year and make them beautiful when they bloom.

Summary: The potted wisteria in China should be placed in a sunny and ventilated place, provided that the soil in the flowerpot is suitable and properly watered and pruned, our potted wisteria will produce beautiful flowers!
