General Care Tips
Chinese Wisteria requires regular watering. Ensure that the soil is well-drained.
An excess in nitrogen may cause an increase in growth, but will in turn reduce 
flowering. The best time to fertilize is before bloom in the spring season, 
and late summer until leafdrop. Minimize fertilizer during bloom.

Things to Watch Out For
Scale insects are the most common insect problems. 
The seeds and seed pods of Wisterias are toxic to humans and animals if ingested.
