Put the seed in warm water and let them soak overnight. Then plant them about 1/4" below the surface of the soil. Wet the soil thoroughly. Cover the pot with clear foil and allow to stay in a warm place until the seeds sprout. Remove the foil and let them grow. It will take many months of growing, trimming to get a well shaped bonsai tree, but it is worth it in the long run. I plant the seeds a few at a time over several months so I have plants at different stages over the year.

We placed seeds in a folded paper towel and covered with water in a small bowl placed in bay window in sunlight to keep warm. In about 3 days seeds started to sprout and we planted them about 1/2 inch deep in wet soil and kept moist ( barely trickling hose ) until vines were about 4 to 5 in. above ground. Watered daily through summer and fertilized sparingly. Vines went ALL the way up our T.V. antenna, 18 ft. They tried to go higher but gravity finally brought them down and they completely covered the top cross members of the antenna. Most days it looked like there was a giant purple mushroom growing along side the house.

I'd like to answer your question but I don't know. Look up the zone you are in and then see if the Japanese Maple will grow in that zone. I hope that helps.

I don't know. The plants grow in the mountains of Japan, which are cool. My plants made it through aSan Francisco CA winter, with night temperatures a little below freezing.

You place the disks one in each section of the tray, wet the soil, (leave the fabric intact). When soil is moist use a spoon and "dig a small hole for the seeds. Drop the seeds in the hole and cover with the dirt you removed or moved. Place in a warm sunny location. Keep the soil moist but not dripping wet and wait for the seeds to sprout. It takes about a week for the seeds to grow. Some will come up sooner than 7 days.

I am sorry to say I planted the seeds and nothing happened. I must confess I do not have a green thumb but decided to try it as price was right. I have had many bonsai plants over the years and have 2 aralia plants and a desert rose, both years old and beautiful. The wisteria seeds, on the other hand, was a negative experience.

You have to "cold stratify" the seeds first. Soak them in water for 24 hours. Then wrap them in a wet paper towel or a baggie of moist peat moss for 30 days. Keep them in the refrigerator and keep them moist. Then plant them in seed start pots (the peat moss kind or the plastic kind) and start growing. When they outgrow pot, plant in bigger pot. When they are sturdy, plant in the ground. It will take up to 3 years for the bush to produce blooms so if you are patient, it will be worth the wait.

Properly anchored in the ground, this arbor should be plenty sturdy enough to hold your wisteria. The construction is solid all around.

Just plant then about 1 1/2 inches beneath the soil, vertically, water and your good to go. Mine are all up and flowering. I've found that vertical placement lets Mother Nature the pattern for growth.

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

I would have to say yes. This is a very sturdy pergola and a great addition to anyone's home. I will be planting something similar to wisteria this year and I do not have any hesitation as to if it will stand up or not.

The best results I had were using jiffy pods, with a grow light indoors until the weather was warm enough outside to put them in pots. It takes about two weeks to germinate at >75 degree soil temperature.

I have a grey thumb, and my stocks are growing AMAZINGLY! Get a small, regular size plastic planter (~1 GAL) that can drain well, and add potting soil. Dip the bottom tip of the stalk in root hormone, stick in soil, pack soil down... water until water exits holes of pot at the bottom. Place in full sun. I live in Texas heat, and I've kept mine outdoors. I watered mine every 2-3 days when I could see that the soil was dry. When you spot new growth (little budding leaves that look like devil horns), your lil fella is producing roots, and you should prepare to transplant to very large container or garden. Look around on the internet for tips. I found Lucky Bamboo Expert on youTube was helpful, and the info on plumeria.org was invaluable. I'm so proud of my 4 guys, and I'm excited to see them mature. I started mine around July, and they have produced small blooms throughout the summer. Go for it!

Yes, I have had this more than a year. I have a Wisteria plant growing on this - so far so good. No problems.
