i want to take a cutting from a wisteria plant how can i grow from a cutting?

Answer 1

Take 6-8" cuttings of the new growth, remove the lowest pair of leaves, dip cut ends in rooting hormone and stick in moist Vermiculite. Put the container in a large plastic bag, close it with a twist-tie and put in a shady location. You should have roots in 6weeks, at which time open the plastic bag for an hour the first day and an hour longer each day for a week or so. Then pot up the cutting in a well-draining growing mix and fertilize.

Wisteria is easy to root. Since we are well into summer, you will want to take a fresh shoot (new growth), and bring it in the house. Put it in a vase of water. Change the water every 5 days. If you live in an area where the water has a lot of lyme, you might want to use bottled water. I set a container of open water in the sun for a day before I add it to my rooting plant. This removes the chlorine.

In the spring, you can root by sticking a fresh shoot in the ground and watering daily.

My grandmother used a product called Root Grow that she got at the hardware store. She swore by it when she rooted roses. You might want to try it.

Sometimes you will find wisteria shooting up new plants around the original. The fastes and easiest way to grow wisteria is to grab up a new shoot. Don't plant it very deep, though. Like dogwoods and redbuds, wisteria roots grow near the surface, and planting them too deep will kill them.

Answer 3

It's easier to layer a piece of your Wisteria leaving it attached to the parent plant. Dig about an 4 to 6 inch hole & put the branch in there. Then cover it up & place an heavy object on it then wait till next Spring you'll have another one.

Answer 4

I thought wisteria sooner propagated by root separation. Not by cuttings. Pretty sure they are seed propagation or divideing the roots when plant is too thick.

Answer 5

Be prepared to wait for flowers though - maybe 5 years from a cutting! Sometimes longer!
