Wisteria: The Wisteria (Floribunda & Macrostachya) is a robust deciduous vine that is fast growing. Making it a desirable Bonsai that can achieve a very mature look in a relatively short period. The Wisteria is very hardy and can handle frost, but having its roots exposed in a pot and not being in the ground requires it to be winterized. The Wisteria produces stunning clusters of blue/purple fragrant flowers in late spring, giving it a distinct look. Wisteria Bonsai in bloom are a breathtaking sight.
BONSAI CARE
Wisteria requires full sun during the growing season (Spring to Fall), and the more sun, the longer and more abundant the flower clusters will be.
Watering:
YOUNG: 4"-12" tall, comes in a 6" grower's pot.
MATURE: 8" - 16" tall, comes in an 8" handmade ceramic pot.
Soil (Substrate)
Bonsai soils are usually a mixture of organic potting compost (Pine Bark or Forest Floor), Akadama, pumice, lava rock in varying amounts.
It is important for the soil have good water retention while also draining well, along with very good aeration. The quality of the soil directly affects the health, size and growth of your tree. One of the worst things you can do to your tree is plant it in regular garden soil. Garden soil hardens when it drys and can often lead to a disadvantage when growing a Bonsai.
Soil mixtures can be purchased here, but given their weight and cost of shipping, you can also easily make your own.
Depending on the type of Bonsai you're growing, here are the general formulas for successful mixtures.
Deciduous Tree (Leafy and looses leafs in the fall)
10% Potting Compost
Coniferous Tree (Evergreen like Juniper, Cedar)
If you are not able to check on your Bonsai's moisture levels daily, add more Akadama to the mix.
Given how these soils erode over time, repotting every 2-3 years is required.
Here are some suitable replacements if you cannot find the recommended types of soil.
One of the best and easiest ways to fertilize your Bonsai, is to add a liquid fertilizer mix when water your Bonsai's once a month during the spring/summer. If your Bonsai looses leaves in the winter there is no need to fertilize it then. If you have a coniferous tree, fertilizing the tree once in the beginning of winter and once in the middle of winter should be sufficient.
as always packed so carefully and thoughtfully and arrived intact and healthy.
The wisteria is simply not what I expected as there were no pictures of what the plant would look like. I am not disappointed though as I like taking in challenges and helping this specimen grow into what I’m sure will eventually be a beautiful wisteria bonsai tree. I already have vision for the process :). The shopping experience was awesome, the communication from the company was superb, the care instructions were great, all much appreciated. I have two other very grown up bonsai trees and wanted to try something different! I am intrigued by Wisteria and the potential for a lot of beauty on the summer months. I would definitely shop here again and would love to afford something a bit more established. Thanks Bonsaistore!
Thanks for the service and thé plant
