+3
I am in Thailand. The weather is 35-37C and there is rain some days. I already bought 3 wisteria trees for 2-3 months from tree market. All wisteria are imported from Japan. Now, they are still in container. One wisteria is getting yellow color at shoot near ground. Yellow band height is 2-3 inc now. The other one is starting to get yellow color . I don't know what happened? Get disease? What should I do? Please help me.

Throw it out. Wisteria, while beautiful, is very invasive, it's roots go anywhere and under the right conditions it it can climb into nooks and crannies and eventually take over your deck or part of your house. Unless you control it in a pot, I would not recommend to use it .

If you're doing most gardeners do: watering regularly , fertilizing, and lots of sunlight, there's no reason why your plant will be yellowing. However, Wisteria is a woody plant and it appears that the seedlings are already old and have overgrown the container, therefore, you have to transfer them to a bigger container or pot If, you decide to transfer them to bigger container, boll the plants without removing the soil from the roots, trim the roots that protrude from the soil, and before doing this, water first the plants in the morning and transplant in the afternoon.

I don't know the difference between an American Wisteria and others. I had one with beautiful light blue flowers in CT and it literally pulled apart my deck, started to climb on the roof and undermined the foundation. So the American one does not do that? I am looking forward to your answer. Thanks. Oops, sorry, just saw the link (duh). It answers my question and the plant looks beautiful. It seems to me, the nurseries plants I have seen carry the ones with the long, hanging flowers and not the compact cone-shaped ones. So we still should be really careful before buying one.

I'm thinking they may be getting over watered. Let them dry out. When the top starts looking dry, it's still damp below. I'd put it in as big of a pot as you can and put a good layer of rocks on the bottom and mix something into your soil like perlite or vermiculite or sand for better drainage. In the ground it'll send out runners and grow new plants everywhere. They'll cover entire trees and are very beautiful when in flower. I had one that was probably 50 years old and when the flowers fell, it was like purple snow covering the ground. I just whacked the runners regularly and it only covered one crepe myrtle tree.
