I would like some ideas for wiring/styling my wisteria

[Maria Iglesias]

This 13 yr old wisteria of mine just flowered it's firld grown so first time in pot (looks like a bunch of sticks really but breathtaking blooms I brought it indoors for the show (and because the fragrance is my quinessential childhood in sth america) but I think she needs to be butchered to come into her true form ............. I live in an apartment so space and sunlight in winter is an issue ...................

Wow Nice River!

My advice for what it is worth, after flowering cut the long branches back by 50% or so to a shoot. No wiring required at this stage.
PS - agree, nice scene.

Hi Maria,
I was looking up some information on Wisteria today. The information Watto has given you is great. You may also fine these couple of links helpful.

Thanx guys I was wondering how to approach those two really long ones ( also I think I greedily want to keep as much flowering surfaces as humanly possible ) was thinking of forcing them up but yeah makes sense to give it a chop .......as for the scenery it has it's drawbacks, namely constant salty wind ..but the dolphins make up for it will be experimenting with coastal natives soon

Oh dear Ray you have led me to discover something called wisteria black dragon that I must now acquire desperately
