Wisteria propagation from cuttings (with updates)

I love that you show results at several points later on. Thanks!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Thank you

[@hydrangeaism]

Exactly!

[@kysmik8214]

Thank you for posting an HONEST video of propagation. Usually, I see the propagation videos and the person who is making the video shows that ALL or most of their cuttings have rooted and grown successful plantings. I go to do that and most of mine die. It is very frustrating and makes me feel like a failure. Now, I can plant many and know that not all of them are going to make roots and probably at least half will die. Now, I will go and start my new wisteria vines. :- )

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Absolutely. For home gardeners, 50% propagation is wonderful

[@katelovell625]

Me who only has a single cutting 😨😮😩

One of the best videos about Wisteria propagation. i think your softwood cuttings did better than the hardwood ones.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I think so too

[@lilolmecj]

Excellent tutorial, I put all my cuttings on the north side of my house ( northern hemisphere) they are in shade, but get bright indirect light. I am getting ready to set up some wisteria today. They are so beautiful. For those who haven’t grown them, I had one in moderate shade, just sun through light leaf canopy. It was there three years did not do much. I switched it to half day full sun and it has gone wild.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Awesome

Thanks for the very helpful turorial on propogating wisteria. Question: towards the point where the leaves have sprouted in the cuttings and the fall has arrived, where do you place (e.g. garage or kitchen) the pot of new wisteria plants in the winter before planting them in the spring, and how frequently do you water them while waiting through the winter?

I keep the bag for about 4 weeks. By then they stabilize. It may not survive in that cold a weather.

[@SusanWillful]

Thank you so much for these wonderful directions! Will this method work for other woody-stemmed shrubs or vines? While it's ideal to start cuttings in the spring, can they be started in the fall and kept indoors to root over winter?

Yes, woody cuttings do well in fall. Use fresh soil without any organic matter or use coarse sand.

Hi! I love how simple you make it, great video. Is there any chance we could get an update on the growth, 2 years on? 😁 How long does it take before any chance of flowers? The only reason I am hesitant is that when I just google it, the first thing that pops up is that it takes 15-20 years to flower from a cutting, and I don't want to wait *that* long 😅 Thanks so much!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It depends on the growth. Unfortunately I moved out of the previous house and many plants were left behind. You should grow it away from your house because a mature plant has very invasive roots and it can hurt the house.
