I'm moving and want to bring my wisteria with me, can anyone give me simple, step by step instructions on how to do this. They are very mature so I cannot transplant them.
Can you take a start off of a wisteria?
Take cuttings
Strip lower leaves (so they don't come in contact with water and rot)
Plunk in a clear container of water
Rooting hormone is not necessary
You'll see roots in 7 - 10 days . . . pot or plant in the ground
Reply:The vines you purchase have usually been grafted, layered or taken from cuttings. So if you want to start additional vines from your own plant, layering the lower side shoots is the best procedure to follow. Do this in the spring. Actually lower growing vines will often come into contact with the soil and root on their own. Simply cut those rooted vines away from the mother plant and you have a new vine. Best time to do this is in springtime.
A 12 to 18 inch tip of the vine can also often be started in water alone. If you add a little rooting hormone to the water, it may help speed up the rooting process. Smaller cuttings 6 to 9 inches long can also be started in soil. Whether you do it in soil or water, the best time is to take these cuttings in the late winter, just before the new growth starts.
New vines can also be started from seed, but seedlings are slow to flower. It may take 8 to 10 years for the first blooms to appear.
Reply:Yes, you can take cuttings.

Reply:Yes you can but only in very early in the spring. Look for very young seedlings near the parent plant its tough because their roots get incredibly long very fast.
Reply:yes if you can dig down and get a root try to get at least 2
