Tips, Tricks
This Video is about repotting a large Wisteria. It also contains tips and information on how to care and maintain your Wisteria bonsai tree and is for all levels of abilities. See below for a care and maintenance summary. Visit our website: http://www.mikbonsai.co.uk Follow us on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikbonsai Twitter: @mikbonsai Wisteria are very thirsty trees and need loads of water. Feed with variety of supplements. This is what John Naka said about Wisteria: Don't plant in an over sized pot, smaller pot will encourage more roots. Wisteria needs roots to bloom. Don't let the tendrils grow wild, cut them back to one or two buds. Don't fees with nitrogen, otherwise the leaves and tendrils will grow but no flowers. Plant in heavy soil to encourage more roots. During the summer stand the tree in water, this will rot the feeder roots and encourage the buds. Willow wisteria trees are among the few trees which can do this and produce excellent results. Prune in Summer and winter, this is end of July after it finishes flowering, reducing to between four to five leaves on of new growth which promotes flower buds. Again at the end of January when branches are visible as there are not leaves, thereby pruning back further what was done in July, cutting back to one to three buds of the new growth. For older Wisteria bonsai trees, to prevent the tree getting too big, use the technique we use to keep the bonsai trees small, removal of old branches, selecting and keeping smaller ones, if none around then remove the old branch completely. Selecting the branches to be removed in a manner to give the tree a balanced look after completion of pruning. Following new growth, wire the new branches to spaces where there are no branches to fill the void.

Greetings from South Australia. Thank you for this informative video. I just acquired a wisteria four weeks ago , and I have just had a beautiful blooming of lilac flowers, I have put it in a small round pot which sits in a flat dish of water. It was a nursery tree which was being sold cheaply as it was very dry and sad looking" .your video has reinforced what I have done with it, so thank you and keep them coming. This is my first wisteria and I am looking forward to it being as gnarled and stunning as yours. Cheers Mandie

Hi Iqbal. Thank you very much for a lovely and informative video. You are always amazing . In the end tree looks more beautiful ...and the pot perfectly suits the tree. I don't have wisteria but i have a huge tropical tree in a big pot. Here we call it karanj or Indian beech. I m sure you know all about it still...i want to know if i can adopt same method while repotting it. Of course in spring. I grew it from a seed almost twenty years back. It bears flowers too. And yes, i find its root very strange, popping pout of soil. Really don't know what to do. Please help!! Thanks.

Thank you for the information on Wisterias. I've had one in the ground for over 20 years. It's in the shade and never gets sun. I've always just cut it back. Now that I'm starting to learn about bonsai I'd like to rescue it and turn it into a bonsai. When would be a good time to transplant it from ground to a bonsai training pot. Also what's a good time table for training and wiring it. I live in the Los Angeles area. Thank you.

Will you make an updated video this spring when the flowers come out, please.

Thanks for that vid. Wisteria always has me scratching my head and wondering if I am treating it correctly. Thankfully your vid has affirmed that I am on track. I do like your Wisteria. It is nicely ramified. It makes mine look a tad nude. It is Spring here in NZ, so I am hopeful of some nice flowering this year. Thanks for the tip and reminder on watering. Sitting it in a saucer of water should reduce my neurotic obsession to irrigate when the temperatures increase. I miss not seeing your cats. Take care and all the best. Craig

Thank you for this video, I believe it is one of the best of yours that I have seen, and I've seen most all of yours. When you say you will have a standing water, what type of trailer vessel will you have it stand them in? Also, the sound quality of your video was much better and easy to understand, thank you for your work. I wish you would do a video showing us your trees, that would be very helpful and interesting.
