I saw this video some months ago, I finally bought the seeds some days ago and I'm glad to comment that this method is amazing, all of my seeds germinated and I'm now waiting for them to fully sprout in the little containers I put them into, so thanks for inspiring me to give this plants an opportunity to grow and spreading this great method around
Glad to hear you got such a good germination rate. It means you got some pretty fresh wisteria seeds. Thank you very much for the feedback and good luck with your wisteria seedlings!
Hi! I received some wisteria seeds and I put them in a glass jar for 3 days then I removed the access of water and now waiting for them to sprout is that the way you did it? Also I did another method that I found on TH-cam I took 10 seeds put them in a jars for 3 days then I removed the outer brown shell and I see it sprouting and place them in a plastic container with paper towel on the bottom and placed the bottom and on top of the seeds and poured water so the paper towel is soaked. When you put your seeds in water did you put the seeds in direct sunlight? I’m new to this and I would appreciate your feedback? Thank you
I just got my seeds and excitedly planted them. I'm glad that I saw this video right after. Thank you so much blessings to you and everyone in the chat
Glad to hear that! Did you already start their germination process? I would have loved to be able to give the seedlings away to anyone wanting one but shipping them internationally wasn't a viable option so I was limited to offer them locally. Luckily the seeds are really easy to germinate so I'm sure you will soon have enough wisteria plants for your garden and some to spare.👍
It's true that if you just plant the seed and sit back expecting it to flower without providing it with the proper care it could take this long. If it is planted in the ground in good soil, in a favorable location and you prune it correctly every year to promote blooming it will bloom much faster. Hope this helps! There are a lot of articles on the internet which just tell you that Wisteria grown from seed will take up to 15-30 years to bloom but don't tell you more than that. And this is because many of them are written by authors without first hand experience with growing Wisteria so they just put together bits of information from multiple sources.
Thank you so much! Just got some wisteria seeds today and had no clue how to grow them. Cannot wait till spring when I can buy the right soils and pots to grow them in.
@@OddBonsai Well I finally got the supplies needed. And started the germination process two days ago like in the video with a jar of water. They...a;ready are growing roots.
Have you made a video of how you made the wisteria bonsai plant? I have seeds I am just growing now for my own first bonsai project. Very excited I found your channel!
Germinating the wisteria seeds was only the first step. Transforming the seedlings into bonsai will be a long process which I will document in future videos. For now the seedlings are fine but growing slowly so I will probably not make an update video too soon. 😋
Glad you found the video useful! Yeah, it was a nice searching the house during the night for the source of strange noises. 🤣 And I woke up 2 or 3 times that night , since not all the seed pods popped at once. It was only the next day that I found seeds all over the place and then I read about the popping. Lesson learned! 😋
What an effective way of germinating a wisteria plants. Good thing with that method is assure of a 100% survival rate. Good tips also my dear friend. Fully watched my friend.
Seeing how easy it was to germinate these seeds I'm pretty sure they will germinate just fine if they are put directly into soil. It's no wonder wisteria's are considered invasive in some regions. Thanks and take care!
@@OddBonsai I had been brought a westariya sidling from Tarki, it is huge , flowers are not much, can you say how it will bloom moor ! I am from Bangladesh.
I have a 5 or 6 years old wisteria planted in my garden. I usually prune it at the end of summer and I found this helps getting more flowers next spring. If I don't prune it it will concentrate more on growing new branches.
@@habibajaved9794 Now I see you live in Bangladesh. Do you get cold winters where you live or is is more like a warm tropical climate? Lack of a wintering period couls also influence fliwering on wisterias from what I read.
@@OddBonsai thank you so much ! For the first time I became amazed to see a westariya bonsai with full bloom, and wish to have a bonsai like that, last around 22 years I am constructing my won bonsai and I have more then 100 bonsai of my won. If you make a video of making a plant of westariya from branch it will be appreciated!
Thank you very much for your video. My husband originally brought me a bonsai kit and we followed the instructions that came with the kit initially, but none of the seeds grew. We found your video and we bought fresh wisteria seeds and we followed exactly what you did and all the seeds are growing really well now. 😊🙏
Thank you! It's an easy plant to germinate but it will be some years until you will be able to enjoy the lovely flowers. In any case the wait is worth it!
Helpful video with clear instructions. I checked your channel for a follow up video (since this one is 2 years old) but I may have missed it. Is there a follow up video for these wisteria plants?
The video was really interesting, thanks for sharing! Best of luck with your Wisteria Bonsai. I’ve never seen these seed pods on my wisteria and so I am curious if you’ve ever propagated wisteria from cutting? 👏🏻
Many thanks for this very informative video. I got a Wisteria seed kit for myself and unfortunately it did not sprout. I followed the instructions but my seed rotted. So, I've bought some seeds and have set them in water just now (25th September 24) and I'll update my comment as time progresses. Hopefully more luck this time
I took my seeds from some pods that had dropped off my wisteria which last year had hundreds of pods. The pods are still there from last year and haven’t exploded or twisted. However the seeds I germinated took about a week or so and hey presto little inch high sprouts have appeared!
Great help watching your video. I followed your method of soaking for about 36 hours and keept inside the air tight jar, and letting air inside every 12 hours. And I'm amazed it sprouted very quickly. thanks for the video
It also amazed me to see the high germination rate on Wisteria. I'm glad to hear you had good results and I hope your little wisteria seedlings get to grow big and healthy. Just don't make the mistake I made by putting the seedlings outside into direct sun.
Thank you so much for your presentation. I bought the seeds online and tried for a couple of years but couldn't succeed. On the other hand, seeds seeds collected from my existing garden, sprouts with out any effort, just placed in a designated location, and within a month, almost all the seeds germinated. I have more than 30 new plants in different ages and am planning to make bonsai. It is a great pleasure and satisfaction to see the results from seeds to a complete flowering bonsai!
The problem with seeds purchased online is that in most cases they are too old and have lost their germination capability. The seeds I'm using are fresh seeds collected by me. Sound like you have quite a collection of wisteria plants. I'm sure they will make nice bonsai.
My sister's mother has a wisteria plant and she brought me home a seed so I did this method and it worked exactly like he said it would same amount of days and everything mines root popped out on day 5
Thank you for the feedback. I use a balanced NPK fertiliser for my wisteria. Something like 5-5-5 or 10-10-10. You can also use some general fertilizer for flowering plants in autumn when it reaches maturity and starts to flower.
It's normal for the seed to soak in water when it rehydrates. The swelling of the seed is a good sign that it is still viable. It will swell up a bit even if it's a non-viable seed but not so much and it will soon start to rot if it's a bad seed.
Hello, I planted from seeds for 15?years it never flowers. It died in the winter, back to life in spring! Do you have any suggestion? Thanks! If any of you got flowers, please share your experiences how yours are flowers.
What do you mean when you say it dies in winter? Loosing its leaves during winter is normal for wisteria. If you have more serious dieback you may be living in a place where winters are more harsh? Dieback could a cause for your wisteria not flowering. If it has a vigorous growing season it should flower the next especially after 15 year.
I was given 2 pods and forgot them in the car! Of course they popped out in all directions! While vacuuming I found the seeds, pooped them into a jar of water and hoping they will sprout. Your video gave me hope that they might sprout after being in the car for a month or two! Thanks!
Good luck with the germination process! The plants that I kept have spent their first winter outside and are now growing again. They didn't grow that much last year so not much to report yet. But I will surely make a new video once it's time to prune them.
Thanks for posting this 🙂 I know it's early days, but may I ask when and how you would go about any pruning/wiring in future given that they are vines, and shoot up? Curious because I have a vine seedling as well.
When it comes to Wisteria I only have experience based on the full size one that I'm growing in my garden. But judging from its growth pattern I will probably let the seedlings grow undisturbed (no pruning) for one or two years until they gain some vigor as they seem to start off as slow growers. Once the plant gains some vigor it grows like crazy and it will need constant pruning through the growing season to keep it in shape. So in short: I will let them grow freely until next summer. Around the end of the summer next year I will probably cut them back hard to start the development of the trunk. And we'll see what comes next... When the plant is still in its skinny seedling state you usually want to let it thicken up before starting the actual shaping process with pruning and wiring. Hope this helps! Cheers, Stefan
Hi, I livr in a tempetate climate and I collected my seeds in late winter. So they were naturally stratified. For best results it is said that it's best to stratifu them at a temperature below 5 deg. C for about a month. So if you collect them in autumn you could keep them in the fridge for a month to simulate winter dormancy. But if you're not in a hurry I suggest that you let them hibernate naturally and collect them in late winter or early spring.
I just bought/got into bonsai and my first 3 types I’m trying is the wisteria, Japanese fire tree, and Sakura cherry blossoms bonsai ,,, I know you haven’t posted anything in over a year or at least I can’t find any videos but is there any future videos coming out that you can give any more tips?
I guess you could cut them open. When they bust open on their own it's a good sign that seeds have reached maturity. Make sure you collect the pods in late autumn, or better yet in winter to make sure the seeds have matured.
Well done brother I also tried wisteria seed germination a few months back but was not successful. A friend of mine gifted me 5 seeds, but they are a little smaller than your sprouts.
Thank you my friend! I remember the video and I was curious what kind of seeds you had. I asked Meet Gangwani and he said your seeds were Bolusanthus speciosus (tree wisteria). The ones I use here are from Wisteria chinensis which grows like a vine. Sorry to hear your seeds did not germinate, it would have been nice to see you make a bonsai from them.
Send them to me! I have been wanting westeria for a year now! It grows wild along some of the roads around me! Was thinking of trying to find one that I could dig up with roots! But haven't!!
It's been a while since I made the video so I only have the 2 plants that I decided to keep for myself. Once established it's an invasive plant as you also noticed. So you can definitely collect a specimen off the side of the road. I'm sure some people would be more than happy to let you take one off of their property where they find it hard keeping it under control.
Thanks for your video! I am wondering what happens next. How do you care for this plant once it is in the nursery pot with the half perlite and half potting soil?
I care for it like I do for other plants. Water it whenever it needs water (usually when the top layer of soil starts to dry up), fertilize it and that's about it for now. When it gains vigor I'll also trim it to keep it in shape. I will make an update video when it's time to prune it back (possibly next spring judging by its growth rate) but for now I'm just letting it grow.
I wish I would've seen this video 4 weeks ago, I wonder if it's worth digging up the seeds I have planted (and haven't done anything) to get them in a jar, or if I should just stick with new seeds
If the seeds are viable and you kept the soil moist they should sprout. This is how they grow in nature. The jar approach is just a faster way to see something happening with the seeds. If you want to check how they are doing you could gently dig them up using something like a toothpick or chopstick.
update: I dug up all the seeds I had planted, they were in dirt for 4 weeks and did nothing but grow mold. I just had some more seeds arrive and have started the prep for those now. hoping these ones are viable
Oh my goodness… I have no clue what I got in the mail… My seeds were SOOOO much smaller than these…. Almost like popcorn kernels. Only Two have now sprouted, (both are growing in the same tiny planter, together- now at about 2”.) I literally have no clue what I’m caring for! I need help… I really do. I mean, I still have a ziploc baggie over the little planter… no clue on when to take it off! Help! Someone! Anyone! 😪😭🥺 Adding - I’ve had it about a month! It has been placed by a window with “Indirect Sunlight…” so the sun never shines directly on it…I wish I could leave a pic!
This just reminded me that I was given wisteria seed pods last year and need to plant them now. What direction does the seed pod get planted in after at sprouts? It looks like they were put in with the sprout portion facing down. Is the sprout the root or the plant? If it’s the plant I would think it needs to be facing upward when planted.
Since I just germinated my wisteria seedlings this year I can not estimate how long it would take for them to mature and bloom. The closest thing to what you are asking about is the experience that I had with my garden wisteria which was propagated from a rooted cutting about 1m high. It took maybe 2 years for the first flower to appear, and maybe after 2 or 3 more years it was already producing a lot of flowers in spring.
I still have several left and I would be glad to offer you one but I don't think they would survive international shipping especially since they have grown a bit since I filmed the video.
do the wisteria have a strong smell I'm doing the paper towel method and I'm not sure if there moldy or just naturally smell strong, and do you know how long they take to germinate I put mine in the baggy a week ago and haven't seen any growth?
I don't remember the smell of the soaked seeds being particularly strong. I would say it was similar to other large seeds that I've germinated, like an acorn, if you ever tried germinating one of those. If the seeds are viable you should first see them swelling up and then you should see the embryo cracking open the outer shell of the seed. As you can see in the video some of my seeds sprouted in a bout a week while others took a little bit longer. Do you open the bag occasionally to let in fresh air? This is important to avoid molding.
Tried this. I totally noticed the increased size. But none germinated. I think took them out of the water and left them in a damp container and now it looks like they are getting moldy. Is this a seed like non viable seeds?
Hello I received some seeds and I did the procedure putting the seeds in water and nothing happened the seeds been in water at least 8 days. What am I doing wrong?
Did the seeds swell up at least a bit? Was there any change in appearance? Viable seeds will swell up during soaking as the embryo gets hydrated. Unfortunately, many online sellers have old seeds that are not viable anymore. If this is the case with your seeds, they will most likely start to rot.
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunatelly, many sellers sell old seeds. You should try again from a more reliable source. Look for buyer comments to find out about the quality of the seeds. I hope you manage to find some good seeds.
Wisteria is a frost hardy plant so I leave them outside. Plants in small pots may suffer more from very cold temperatures so you can provide some extra protection by burying them in a thick layer of mulch.
I think for their first year a 10-15cm diameter pot should be ok. I can't give you repotting advice specific to Wisteria but in general you want to repot when the root system start to outgrow the pot.
Question my seeds right now are being kept in the container with no water but I’ve noticed there is like white slimy stuff around the seeds. Is this normal or is it fungus?
I cannot say for sure without actually seeing what you have but I think it's most likely sings of fungus or rot. Did you open the lid of the container regularly to let in fresh air? I recommend that you take out the seeds and rinse off the whit stuff and examine the seeds. You can plant the ones that have started to germinate. If there are any seeds that are getting soft, mushy and smell bad, those were probably not viable and have started to rot. So I would discard those and keep the healthy ones. Keeping them all together will also make the healthy ones rot. Good luck!
@@OddBonsai Thank you, I did leave air inside from time to time I think I just left it a little too wet and humid inside so they rotted, luckily I washed them to see if there were any good ones and I have 2 good ones. Thanks for the help and the very well explained video I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I have wisteria seeds to grow :)
Glad to hear you have some viable seeds and it's always nice to hear when some of my videos are helpful. Hope your seeds will grow into some nice and happy wisteria vines.
If the seeds are viable (i.e., not very old) then too much humidity could be the reason. However, in most cases the seeds themselves are the problem. If they are too old, they're virtually dead so like any dead vegetable tissue it will tend to mold once put in a humid environment. Unfortunately, many online sellers sell seeds that are too old. Not mentioning information like the seed collection date or at least the packaging date should be a first red flag about seed sellers.
@@OddBonsai thank you, I did try different levels humidity as well as planting mediums and the results are the same... Could you recommend an online international seller? I can't find seeds for sale where I live.
I collected the seeds in the video myself since we have plenty of wisterias growing in the area where I live so, unfortunately, I can't point to an online store where I know for sure they have good viable wisteria seeds. One online seed store that I trust to generally offer fresh seeds and which also seems to have wisteria seeds on stock is this one: www.rarepalmseeds.com/wisteria-sinensis?search=wisteria. The downside is tat they are oriented more toward wholesale so they don't have such good prices for small quantities and they also have a minimum order policy. If you do end up buying wisteria seeds from them please give me a feedback after you try germinating so that I know if it's a good store to recommend this to other people asking. Thanks!
That sounds like a very long time. Maybe if you put the seeds directly in the ground and bury them pretty deep it might take that long to see the seedling emerging from the soil. But as you see in the video, they will sprout much faster. Good luck with your seeds!
Glad to help! I hope your next try will be a success. The quality of seeds is also important. The older they are the less likely to germinate. So make sure you get fresh Wisteria seeds.
@@solsito603 Yes, a closed jar or you can also wrap them in a wet paper napkin. Just make sure you keep them moist so they do not dry up. As you can see in my video germination can take from one to a couple of weeks. It depends on how fresh are the seeds.
Hello! I just tried the first part of soaking the seeds in water for 3 days. It's been 24 hours, and it looks like there's mold all on the seeds now! What do I do about this? Are the seeds no longer good?
It could be that there's something not ok with the seeds. 24h sounds like a very short time to get mold if the seeds are still viable. I know this answer comes a little bit late but I would still give it a try by washing off the mold and changing the water every day.
What an excellent video. I'm going to try it but I'm worried that it's too soon to attempt germination even inside....It's almost New Year and I think there isn't enough sunlight. Should I wait until March?
If you have a south facing window where you could place the seedlings after they germinate you could try it. The winter solstice has passed so days are only getting longer now. Then in spring you can move the seedlings outside.
Thanks for the informative video. What suggestions do you have on keeping the seeds moist without the mold? I have not had much luck of germinating the wisteria seeds. I look forward to your advice.
Too much moisture and too little fresh air usually encourages mold. In my case, letting the jar "breathe" every day or so helped in keeping mold away. If germinating in a jar like I did in the video did not work for you, you could try using the wet tissue approach. If that doesn't work either then I suspect the wisteria seeds could be too old and have lost their ability to germinate .
Is it true that wisteria from seeds will take several years (maybe a decade!) to produce flowers? I have a few seeds that are growing but got very disappointed when I saw another channel saying this😢
I have a huge one from seed in my yard, it’s been ten years and still didn’t get a flower, I’ll dig it up next spring to make a bonsai! The life span is 50 years, hopefully I can see flowers
@@Donly1pt it won’t flower because it doesn’t get much sun, that’s what I think, when I’ll turn it into a bonsai it will probably bloom because I will put it in a sunny location
Were there follow up videos? I typed in Wisteria in your main channel and only saw this video with "Wisteria". I bought a kit with multiple seed types for my wife for Mother's Day and it contained Wisteria, Japanese Maple, Judas Tree, and several others. I was hunting around for more information on Wisteria.
Wish you had mentioned where to place them as they grew. ie Sunny location, how often to water and when they'll be able to be planted on an outside trellis. Any input from other gardners also welcome. Thanks so much! p
That's a good point but at the point I made the video I did not have much experience with growing wisteria from seeds myself. In the meanwhile I found that the young plants prefer lots of light but are sensitive to hot summer sun so better place them in indirect light. I have am mature plant in my garden and it has no problem growing in full sun. You can safely plant it in the ground once it gets a woody trunk 50-100cm tall. Hope this helps.
Dear sir, could you please tell us which season to plant them in the garden? Is it okay to plant them in August and let the plant dry out in late automn? I live in Montreal, Canada. Does the young plant withstand the Canadian winter? Thank you for answering my questions.
I'm brand new to bonsai. The first tree I am growing is a wisteria. This was a big help. My plant is 3 weeks old and is barely 4 inches high. I'm guessing that is from my soil choice
Hi, I just collect my seeds and I will bring them soon to my mom in Lithuania they have cold winters there till -25 degrees. Should my mom start to grow them now or is better to keep it for spring? And how about to bringing them out when is the best time after how many weeks?
Omg I’m such an idiot. I planted the wisteria sprout as if the part that procured after germination was the stem. So I have it upside down 😂. Gotta fix that asap!!
Hello, it seems that the soil on my wisteria has a poor drainage since I’m using a clay garden soil that’s why it got dark spots on the leaves. I was planning to transplant the plant to a loamy soil, how should I prepare the plant for transplantation?
I don't think there is anything special that has to be done in preparation. When you do transplant make sure you remove as much of the old clay soil from the root ball. If you leave old soil around the roots you may have the same problem in the future.
I have my seed pods but they have not busted yet. Will this happen on their own or should I attempt to burst them? Do you recommend leaving the seed pods in open air or placing them in a container while they completely dry out & burst?
It's not necessary to wait for the pods to pop. You can open the Wisteria seed pods yourself and take the seeds. Just make sure the seeds are ripe enough.
That's probably mold, which means that either there was too much humidity or the seeds were not viable. Not many online seed sellers have fresh seeds and we sometimes end up buying old seeds that have lost their germination ability.
Hello, hoping you can help. I did your method exactly, only used one seed and it germinated perfectly. I have tried to do this again with 4 others and ZERO germination, they end up getting moldy, even though I open the jars daily and even wash them out. What am I doing wrong? I leave very little water in the jar just like you.
The first thing that comes into mind is that the second set of wisteria seeds might have been bad (unviable seeds, too old, etc.). Were all the seeds from the same batch? Was the temperature the same like it was the first time you tried it? Keeping the seeds in a wet environment at a temperatures that is too low or too high for germination could also lead to them rotting. Other than these I can see no reason for the seeds not germinating if you had success the first time.
@@OddBonsai I bought a set of 5 seeds, 1 sprouted and the other 4 did not. I recently bought another set of 5 seeds and have 2 I'm trying to sprout now and the same thing appears to be happening. I have them in my grow room and usually the temperature stays around 75, unless I use something like a heat mat or a humidity dome. I honestly can't figure it out myself either.
All I can think of is the seeds might not be viable anymore. The older they are, the less likely it is for them to sprout. I collected the seeds in the video myself so I know they were fresh and that's why I got a very high germination rate. With seeds bought online you never know. I had similar problems with some Ficus benghalensis seeds, only 3 out of 100 germinated. You could try planting the 3 remaining seeds directly in soil in case that makes a difference. Sorry I could not be of much help.
Hi i tried this method its been a week in the jar now and nothing, do you think the seeds are no good they are not mouldy just not growing. Im new to growing plants so do not have alot of experience Thanks

if you plant it using a seed. you will wait for 15 or 30 years to bloom it's first flower...

@@OddBonsai thank you so much ! For the first time I became amazed to see a westariya bonsai with full bloom, and wish to have a bonsai like that, last around 22 years I am constructing my won bonsai and I have more then 100 bonsai of my won.
If you make a video of making a plant of westariya from branch it will be appreciated!
Super clear info tutorial! Many thanks!! 👌🏅
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
Thank you very much for your video. My husband originally brought me a bonsai kit and we followed the instructions that came with the kit initially, but none of the seeds grew. We found your video and we bought fresh wisteria seeds and we followed exactly what you did and all the seeds are growing really well now. 😊🙏
Wonderful! Happy to hear the video was helpful! Good luck growing those your wisteria into mature plants!
Love wisteria and will be starting some seeds
You presentation was very good and easy to follow.
Thank you! It's an easy plant to germinate but it will be some years until you will be able to enjoy the lovely flowers. In any case the wait is worth it!
Helpful video with clear instructions. I checked your channel for a follow up video (since this one is 2 years old) but I may have missed it. Is there a follow up video for these wisteria plants?
The video was really interesting, thanks for sharing! Best of luck with your Wisteria Bonsai.
I’ve never seen these seed pods on my wisteria and so I am curious if you’ve ever propagated wisteria from cutting? 👏🏻
Yes you may grow them from cuttings laid flat half buried in soil. Place pot in plastic bag to retain moisture.
Many thanks for this very informative video. I got a Wisteria seed kit for myself and unfortunately it did not sprout. I followed the instructions but my seed rotted. So, I've bought some seeds and have set them in water just now (25th September 24) and I'll update my comment as time progresses. Hopefully more luck this time
I took my seeds from some pods that had dropped off my wisteria which last year had hundreds of pods. The pods are still there from last year and haven’t exploded or twisted. However the seeds I germinated took about a week or so and hey presto little inch high sprouts have appeared!
Great help watching your video. I followed your method of soaking for about 36 hours and keept inside the air tight jar, and letting air inside every 12 hours. And I'm amazed it sprouted very quickly. thanks for the video
It also amazed me to see the high germination rate on Wisteria. I'm glad to hear you had good results and I hope your little wisteria seedlings get to grow big and healthy. Just don't make the mistake I made by putting the seedlings outside into direct sun.
How quick did they sprout mine have been a week and nothing yet
Thank you so much for your presentation. I bought the seeds online and tried for a couple of years but couldn't succeed. On the other hand, seeds seeds collected from my existing garden, sprouts with out any effort, just placed in a designated location, and within a month, almost all the seeds germinated. I have more than 30 new plants in different ages and am planning to make bonsai. It is a great pleasure and satisfaction to see the results from seeds to a complete flowering bonsai!
The problem with seeds purchased online is that in most cases they are too old and have lost their germination capability. The seeds I'm using are fresh seeds collected by me.
Sound like you have quite a collection of wisteria plants. I'm sure they will make nice bonsai.
Ramona RosellArnaez
thanks for your tutorial, its very clear. By the way, where do you keep seed in the jar when waiting them germinating? in the dark or light place?
I kept the jar in a darker corner of a room. It wasn't completely dark.
My sister's mother has a wisteria plant and she brought me home a seed so I did this method and it worked exactly like he said it would same amount of days and everything mines root popped out on day 5
Thank you! This is very helpful.
Thanks! Great to hear it helped! Happy growing!
Thank you for the really clear explanation on growing the wisteria from seed! May i also check what type of fertilisers would you recommend for them?
Thank you for the feedback. I use a balanced NPK fertiliser for my wisteria. Something like 5-5-5 or 10-10-10. You can also use some general fertilizer for flowering plants in autumn when it reaches maturity and starts to flower.
@@OddBonsai Ah.. I have 14-14-14 osmocote, would that be suitable as well?
Yes, should be ok as long as you follow the indications on the fertiliser package.
@@OddBonsai Great! Thank you!
Great help thanks👍
Glad it helped. Cheers!
So that's why one of my seeds went fat when I soaked it for 24 hrs? I thought it was broken. I still sowed it though.
It's normal for the seed to soak in water when it rehydrates. The swelling of the seed is a good sign that it is still viable. It will swell up a bit even if it's a non-viable seed but not so much and it will soon start to rot if it's a bad seed.
@@OddBonsai Thanks man! Fingers crossed!
Hello, I planted from seeds for 15?years it never flowers. It died in the winter, back to life in spring! Do you have any suggestion? Thanks! If any of you got flowers, please share your experiences how yours are flowers.
What do you mean when you say it dies in winter? Loosing its leaves during winter is normal for wisteria. If you have more serious dieback you may be living in a place where winters are more harsh? Dieback could a cause for your wisteria not flowering. If it has a vigorous growing season it should flower the next especially after 15 year.
I was given 2 pods and forgot them in the car! Of course they popped out in all directions! While vacuuming I found the seeds, pooped them into a jar of water and hoping they will sprout. Your video gave me hope that they might sprout after being in the car for a month or two! Thanks!
Lol. I left mine in the house on top of a china cabinet. One popped while I was away. Seeds where everywhere!
Your poop will help them grow big and strong, how is your wisteria poop seed doing today?
I've just started to germinate my seeds. Thank you for this video! I'm excited for a follow up video to learn more.
Good luck with the germination process! The plants that I kept have spent their first winter outside and are now growing again. They didn't grow that much last year so not much to report yet. But I will surely make a new video once it's time to prune them.
Thanks for the video. I was reading a manual from an amazon kit, but this video is actually what I needed.
Glad to help! I hope you get great results with the germination process.
Heya ! I'm trying to grow one of those big wisterias to plant them in my backyard, not bonzais, any tips or any tutorial i can follow?
Thanks for informative video after transferring in bigger pot do we have place it in bright sunlight or in less light ?
When you're just bringing them out after germination it is best to put them in indirect light. Leaves grown indoor will get easily sunburned.
Thanks for posting this 🙂
I know it's early days, but may I ask when and how you would go about any pruning/wiring in future given that they are vines, and shoot up? Curious because I have a vine seedling as well.
When it comes to Wisteria I only have experience based on the full size one that I'm growing in my garden. But judging from its growth pattern I will probably let the seedlings grow undisturbed (no pruning) for one or two years until they gain some vigor as they seem to start off as slow growers. Once the plant gains some vigor it grows like crazy and it will need constant pruning through the growing season to keep it in shape.
So in short: I will let them grow freely until next summer. Around the end of the summer next year I will probably cut them back hard to start the development of the trunk. And we'll see what comes next...
When the plant is still in its skinny seedling state you usually want to let it thicken up before starting the actual shaping process with pruning and wiring.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Stefan
@@OddBonsai hi. Thank you for the video. I live in a colder climate - would you leave them out for a winter dormancy or bring them in?
Hi, I livr in a tempetate climate and I collected my seeds in late winter. So they were naturally stratified. For best results it is said that it's best to stratifu them at a temperature below 5 deg. C for about a month. So if you collect them in autumn you could keep them in the fridge for a month to simulate winter dormancy. But if you're not in a hurry I suggest that you let them hibernate naturally and collect them in late winter or early spring.
I just bought/got into bonsai and my first 3 types I’m trying is the wisteria, Japanese fire tree, and Sakura cherry blossoms bonsai ,,, I know you haven’t posted anything in over a year or at least I can’t find any videos but is there any future videos coming out that you can give any more tips?
When do you start pruning to thicken the trunk?
If the seedlings grow well you could start pruning them from the second year.
Do I have to wait for the pods to bust open on their own or can I just cut them open?
I guess you could cut them open. When they bust open on their own it's a good sign that seeds have reached maturity. Make sure you collect the pods in late autumn, or better yet in winter to make sure the seeds have matured.
Well done brother I also tried wisteria seed germination a few months back but was not successful. A friend of mine gifted me 5 seeds, but they are a little smaller than your sprouts.
Thank you my friend! I remember the video and I was curious what kind of seeds you had. I asked Meet Gangwani and he said your seeds were Bolusanthus speciosus (tree wisteria). The ones I use here are from Wisteria chinensis which grows like a vine. Sorry to hear your seeds did not germinate, it would have been nice to see you make a bonsai from them.
@@OddBonsai Yes!
Send them to me! I have been wanting westeria for a year now! It grows wild along some of the roads around me! Was thinking of trying to find one that I could dig up with roots! But haven't!!
It's been a while since I made the video so I only have the 2 plants that I decided to keep for myself. Once established it's an invasive plant as you also noticed. So you can definitely collect a specimen off the side of the road. I'm sure some people would be more than happy to let you take one off of their property where they find it hard keeping it under control.
Thanks for your video! I am wondering what happens next. How do you care for this plant once it is in the nursery pot with the half perlite and half potting soil?
I care for it like I do for other plants. Water it whenever it needs water (usually when the top layer of soil starts to dry up), fertilize it and that's about it for now. When it gains vigor I'll also trim it to keep it in shape.
I will make an update video when it's time to prune it back (possibly next spring judging by its growth rate) but for now I'm just letting it grow.
Can it grow indoors or does it have to be outdoors?
I wish I would've seen this video 4 weeks ago, I wonder if it's worth digging up the seeds I have planted (and haven't done anything) to get them in a jar, or if I should just stick with new seeds
If the seeds are viable and you kept the soil moist they should sprout. This is how they grow in nature. The jar approach is just a faster way to see something happening with the seeds. If you want to check how they are doing you could gently dig them up using something like a toothpick or chopstick.
update: I dug up all the seeds I had planted, they were in dirt for 4 weeks and did nothing but grow mold. I just had some more seeds arrive and have started the prep for those now. hoping these ones are viable
Oh my goodness… I have no clue what I got in the mail…
My seeds were SOOOO much smaller than these…. Almost like popcorn kernels. Only Two have now sprouted, (both are growing in the same tiny planter, together- now at about 2”.) I literally have no clue what I’m caring for! I need help… I really do. I mean, I still have a ziploc baggie over the little planter… no clue on when to take it off! Help! Someone! Anyone! 😪😭🥺
Adding - I’ve had it about a month! It has been placed by a window with “Indirect Sunlight…” so the sun never shines directly on it…I wish I could leave a pic!
This just reminded me that I was given wisteria seed pods last year and need to plant them now. What direction does the seed pod get planted in after at sprouts? It looks like they were put in with the sprout portion facing down. Is the sprout the root or the plant? If it’s the plant I would think it needs to be facing upward when planted.
The sprout is the root so it will want to grow downwards. The leaves of the plant will grow after that from inside the seed.
Thank you so much for this simple straight forward approach. I just received some seeds, so just put them into the water. Excited!
Good luck with the germination! If the seeds are not too old I'm sure you will get a good germination rate.
Can you make a video to give us an update on the wisterias.
how long should I wait to transplant Flame Tree seedlings ?
Could you tell me how it takes for the plant to mature and and grow and how many years will it begin to bloom??
Since I just germinated my wisteria seedlings this year I can not estimate how long it would take for them to mature and bloom.
The closest thing to what you are asking about is the experience that I had with my garden wisteria which was propagated from a rooted cutting about 1m high. It took maybe 2 years for the first flower to appear, and maybe after 2 or 3 more years it was already producing a lot of flowers in spring.
Thank you so much for the information! I’m going to try it! I’m excited!
Be careful. It is a beautiful and spectacular plant but the roots are very long and will spread many yards/metres away from the main plant.
Very true. And rhey are strong roots.
learn bonsai from small materials, thank you for sharing your knowledge
I'm always glad to share horticultural knowledge as I am to experiment and learn new things.
Wonderful video. I would love to adopt 1 of the plant!! Please send it my way.
I still have several left and I would be glad to offer you one but I don't think they would survive international shipping especially since they have grown a bit since I filmed the video.
do the wisteria have a strong smell I'm doing the paper towel method and I'm not sure if there moldy or just naturally smell strong, and do you know how long they take to germinate I put mine in the baggy a week ago and haven't seen any growth?
I don't remember the smell of the soaked seeds being particularly strong. I would say it was similar to other large seeds that I've germinated, like an acorn, if you ever tried germinating one of those. If the seeds are viable you should first see them swelling up and then you should see the embryo cracking open the outer shell of the seed. As you can see in the video some of my seeds sprouted in a bout a week while others took a little bit longer. Do you open the bag occasionally to let in fresh air? This is important to avoid molding.
Tried this. I totally noticed the increased size. But none germinated. I think took them out of the water and left them in a damp container and now it looks like they are getting moldy. Is this a seed like non viable seeds?
this happened to me to
How often do I have to pour them with water?
I don't follow a particular schedule. I just check the soil and if it starts to feel dry I water them.
@@OddBonsai Ok thanks
Thanks for the video thumbs up.
Thank you too!
Always nice to see these videos ..it is really a mind freshener and soothing watch..thanks for this sharing
So nice of you, hope you found it useful!
Hello I received some seeds and I did the procedure putting the seeds in water and nothing happened the seeds been in water at least 8 days. What am I doing wrong?
Did the seeds swell up at least a bit? Was there any change in appearance? Viable seeds will swell up during soaking as the embryo gets hydrated. Unfortunately, many online sellers have old seeds that are not viable anymore. If this is the case with your seeds, they will most likely start to rot.
Thankyou, this has been the best education and exactly what I needed and here for. Have a great day blossom's!
I brougth seeds from online and im so disappointed because it is decayed. I wish i brought a good ones🥺🥺
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunatelly, many sellers sell old seeds. You should try again from a more reliable source. Look for buyer comments to find out about the quality of the seeds. I hope you manage to find some good seeds.
Do you put these young plants away when the winter comes? Or leave them out? Thanks
Wisteria is a frost hardy plant so I leave them outside. Plants in small pots may suffer more from very cold temperatures so you can provide some extra protection by burying them in a thick layer of mulch.
What size pots do you recommend for their first pots? When do you know when to repot?
I think for their first year a 10-15cm diameter pot should be ok. I can't give you repotting advice specific to Wisteria but in general you want to repot when the root system start to outgrow the pot.
Question my seeds right now are being kept in the container with no water but I’ve noticed there is like white slimy stuff around the seeds. Is this normal or is it fungus?
I cannot say for sure without actually seeing what you have but I think it's most likely sings of fungus or rot. Did you open the lid of the container regularly to let in fresh air?
I recommend that you take out the seeds and rinse off the whit stuff and examine the seeds. You can plant the ones that have started to germinate. If there are any seeds that are getting soft, mushy and smell bad, those were probably not viable and have started to rot. So I would discard those and keep the healthy ones. Keeping them all together will also make the healthy ones rot. Good luck!
@@OddBonsai Thank you, I did leave air inside from time to time I think I just left it a little too wet and humid inside so they rotted, luckily I washed them to see if there were any good ones and I have 2 good ones. Thanks for the help and the very well explained video I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I have wisteria seeds to grow :)
Glad to hear you have some viable seeds and it's always nice to hear when some of my videos are helpful. Hope your seeds will grow into some nice and happy wisteria vines.
So I tried this method but my seeds keep getting rotten or molding... What am I doing wrong?
If the seeds are viable (i.e., not very old) then too much humidity could be the reason. However, in most cases the seeds themselves are the problem. If they are too old, they're virtually dead so like any dead vegetable tissue it will tend to mold once put in a humid environment. Unfortunately, many online sellers sell seeds that are too old. Not mentioning information like the seed collection date or at least the packaging date should be a first red flag about seed sellers.
@@OddBonsai thank you, I did try different levels humidity as well as planting mediums and the results are the same... Could you recommend an online international seller? I can't find seeds for sale where I live.
I collected the seeds in the video myself since we have plenty of wisterias growing in the area where I live so, unfortunately, I can't point to an online store where I know for sure they have good viable wisteria seeds. One online seed store that I trust to generally offer fresh seeds and which also seems to have wisteria seeds on stock is this one: www.rarepalmseeds.com/wisteria-sinensis?search=wisteria. The downside is tat they are oriented more toward wholesale so they don't have such good prices for small quantities and they also have a minimum order policy.
If you do end up buying wisteria seeds from them please give me a feedback after you try germinating so that I know if it's a good store to recommend this to other people asking. Thanks!
I went to google and asked how long to spout and they said 30-60 days. I bould quite a few so i will see how long it takes.
That sounds like a very long time. Maybe if you put the seeds directly in the ground and bury them pretty deep it might take that long to see the seedling emerging from the soil. But as you see in the video, they will sprout much faster. Good luck with your seeds!
I have seed pods from a friends wisteria plant. Good enough?
That's the most reliable way of getting viable seeds. You should have a good germination rate. Good luck!
Thank you so much, i have had a hard time growing these seeds until now.
Glad to help! I hope your next try will be a success. The quality of seeds is also important. The older they are the less likely to germinate. So make sure you get fresh Wisteria seeds.
Cuantos dias las tengo que dejar en agua ?
I soaked the wisteria seeds in water for three days, and then I only kept them in a humid environment.
@@OddBonsai las guardo en frasco cerrado sin agua?y cuantos dias tarda en germinar?
@@solsito603 Yes, a closed jar or you can also wrap them in a wet paper napkin. Just make sure you keep them moist so they do not dry up.
As you can see in my video germination can take from one to a couple of weeks. It depends on how fresh are the seeds.
Cool
Glad you like it! 🙏
Hello! I just tried the first part of soaking the seeds in water for 3 days. It's been 24 hours, and it looks like there's mold all on the seeds now! What do I do about this? Are the seeds no longer good?
It could be that there's something not ok with the seeds. 24h sounds like a very short time to get mold if the seeds are still viable. I know this answer comes a little bit late but I would still give it a try by washing off the mold and changing the water every day.
Thank's you...
You're welcome!
What an excellent video. I'm going to try it but I'm worried that it's too soon to attempt germination even inside....It's almost New Year and I think there isn't enough sunlight. Should I wait until March?
If you have a south facing window where you could place the seedlings after they germinate you could try it. The winter solstice has passed so days are only getting longer now. Then in spring you can move the seedlings outside.
Thanks for the informative video. What suggestions do you have on keeping the seeds moist without the mold? I have not had much luck of germinating the wisteria seeds. I look forward to your advice.
Too much moisture and too little fresh air usually encourages mold. In my case, letting the jar "breathe" every day or so helped in keeping mold away. If germinating in a jar like I did in the video did not work for you, you could try using the wet tissue approach. If that doesn't work either then I suspect the wisteria seeds could be too old and have lost their ability to germinate .
Is it true that wisteria from seeds will take several years (maybe a decade!) to produce flowers? I have a few seeds that are growing but got very disappointed when I saw another channel saying this😢
I have a huge one from seed in my yard, it’s been ten years and still didn’t get a flower, I’ll dig it up next spring to make a bonsai! The life span is 50 years, hopefully I can see flowers
@@Alexela03 Well, that's discouraging... lol
@@Donly1pt it won’t flower because it doesn’t get much sun, that’s what I think, when I’ll turn it into a bonsai it will probably bloom because I will put it in a sunny location
Were there follow up videos? I typed in Wisteria in your main channel and only saw this video with "Wisteria". I bought a kit with multiple seed types for my wife for Mother's Day and it contained Wisteria, Japanese Maple, Judas Tree, and several others. I was hunting around for more information on Wisteria.
I have you a bunch of wisteria pods. 😜
They are easy to get if you find a wisteria plant and you get to it in winter before they start popping.
Thanks for the video!
How can I help prevent burning the leaves? Gradual exposure before I actually planet in the balcony?
Wish you had mentioned where to place them as they grew. ie Sunny location, how often to water and when they'll
be able to be planted on an outside trellis. Any input from other gardners also welcome. Thanks so much! p
That's a good point but at the point I made the video I did not have much experience with growing wisteria from seeds myself. In the meanwhile I found that the young plants prefer lots of light but are sensitive to hot summer sun so better place them in indirect light. I have am mature plant in my garden and it has no problem growing in full sun. You can safely plant it in the ground once it gets a woody trunk 50-100cm tall. Hope this helps.
Dear sir, could you please tell us which season to plant them in the garden? Is it okay to plant them in August and let the plant dry out in late automn? I live in Montreal, Canada. Does the young plant withstand the Canadian winter? Thank you for answering my questions.
I'm brand new to bonsai. The first tree I am growing is a wisteria. This was a big help. My plant is 3 weeks old and is barely 4 inches high. I'm guessing that is from my soil choice
Hi, I just collect my seeds and I will bring them soon to my mom in Lithuania they have cold winters there till -25 degrees. Should my mom start to grow them now or is better to keep it for spring? And how about to bringing them out when is the best time after how many weeks?
Omg I’m such an idiot. I planted the wisteria sprout as if the part that procured after germination was the stem. So I have it upside down 😂. Gotta fix that asap!!
his germination process is a good way to rot your seeds
Thank you, glad you found it useful!
Hello, it seems that the soil on my wisteria has a poor drainage since I’m using a clay garden soil that’s why it got dark spots on the leaves. I was planning to transplant the plant to a loamy soil, how should I prepare the plant for transplantation?
I don't think there is anything special that has to be done in preparation. When you do transplant make sure you remove as much of the old clay soil from the root ball. If you leave old soil around the roots you may have the same problem in the future.
I have my seed pods but they have not busted yet. Will this happen on their own or should I attempt to burst them? Do you recommend leaving the seed pods in open air or placing them in a container while they completely dry out & burst?
Great video🎉 aren't you cnckitchen?
Thank you! I am not but I do wish I had some of his gear to play with. :)
Thank you so much, your instructions were brilliant,
Glad it was helpful! Cheers and good luck with your wisteria growing!
In which month should we grow wisteria
If you are planting it outdoors you should do it in spring. If you plan on growing wisteria indoors you cand start the seeds any time.
Do I need to wait until the pod releases the seeds to begin the germination process?
It's not necessary to wait for the pods to pop. You can open the Wisteria seed pods yourself and take the seeds. Just make sure the seeds are ripe enough.
@@OddBonsai How do I know if they are ripe enough?
They should be ok when the pods are dark brown in color. If you collect them in late autumn or anytime in winter they will be ripe for sure.
@@OddBonsai Thank you so much!
You're welcone! Good luck with growing wisteria!
This is a very informative video, thank you! I may have missed it but could you tell me how often you watered them?
Thanks, glad to help. I don't usually water on a schedule. I just check the soil and make sure it doesn't get to dry up completely.
I tried your method and for some reason I keep getting a white fuzz on them. Do you have any tips to help?
Me to!?
That's probably mold, which means that either there was too much humidity or the seeds were not viable. Not many online seed sellers have fresh seeds and we sometimes end up buying old seeds that have lost their germination ability.
@@OddBonsai Thank you so much! I have one seed that sprouted from the online seller but none of the others have.
Hello, hoping you can help. I did your method exactly, only used one seed and it germinated perfectly. I have tried to do this again with 4 others and ZERO germination, they end up getting moldy, even though I open the jars daily and even wash them out. What am I doing wrong? I leave very little water in the jar just like you.
The first thing that comes into mind is that the second set of wisteria seeds might have been bad (unviable seeds, too old, etc.). Were all the seeds from the same batch? Was the temperature the same like it was the first time you tried it? Keeping the seeds in a wet environment at a temperatures that is too low or too high for germination could also lead to them rotting. Other than these I can see no reason for the seeds not germinating if you had success the first time.
@@OddBonsai I bought a set of 5 seeds, 1 sprouted and the other 4 did not. I recently bought another set of 5 seeds and have 2 I'm trying to sprout now and the same thing appears to be happening. I have them in my grow room and usually the temperature stays around 75, unless I use something like a heat mat or a humidity dome. I honestly can't figure it out myself either.
All I can think of is the seeds might not be viable anymore. The older they are, the less likely it is for them to sprout. I collected the seeds in the video myself so I know they were fresh and that's why I got a very high germination rate. With seeds bought online you never know. I had similar problems with some Ficus benghalensis seeds, only 3 out of 100 germinated.
You could try planting the 3 remaining seeds directly in soil in case that makes a difference.
Sorry I could not be of much help.
@@OddBonsai Thank you, that's what I'm thinking. I appreciate you and your assistance 🤗
My pleasure! I hope you get better results with the new batch of seeds. Let me know how it turns out.
Do I use regular potting soil or cow compost? Thanks, great video. 😃
I used regular potting soil but compost should also be good.
Your video is very good, can i ask a question? Whats the white stuff on the black pot?
Hi i tried this method its been a week in the jar now and nothing, do you think the seeds are no good they are not mouldy just not growing. Im new to growing plants so do not have alot of experience Thanks
Hi.
When would you recommend removing the pods from the tree
I would remove them in winter until early spring. Once weather starts to get warm the pods pop open so you might not find any seeds in them.
@@OddBonsai thank you
Where can I get the seed?
There are many sellers online. Just search for "wisteria sinsensis seeds".
I just bought it today 17/July 2024❤...
Clump those seedlings together and let them grow wild so the trunks would thicken and fuse together into a nejikan
Wow! Incredibly informative video. Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful!
Where can i get seeds like these? I just have a fear of buying from a seller that might not be reputable.
Can you please share the name the type in the color of the different wisteria on another video? Thank you ❤
