Saflax Bonsai - Wisteria

With its dense, hanging clusters of flowers, the Chinese Wisteria is a very unique eye-catcher. These appear in spring and then again from July to August.

Interesting Facts

• Originally native to East Asia, the Chinese Wisteria is now widely grown across Europe and North America.

Our Tips:

• Roughen the seeds with a file or sandpaper and then let them soak for 12 hours at room temperature to improve germination.
• Cover the cultivation containers with film and provide them with holes so that the soil does not dry out.
• Remove the film every two to three days for two hours to prevent mould formation.
• Keep the potting soil moist but not wet.
• Ideal germination temperature: 20 to 25°C.
• Water plentifully during flowering and in the summer months.
• Water thoroughly as soon as the top layer of soil is dry.
• Daily spraying recommended.
• Fertilise only slightly before flowering, every two weeks during flowering, and once a week after flowering until autumn - special bonsai fertiliser recommended.
• Overwinter in a protected and cool location without sub-zero temperatures.
