Hello! My Wisteria bloomed for the first time this year (5 years old). I realized I need to take better care of it! I read after blooming to cut the long leaders back to the 5th leaf. I did that but now long leaders are coming out of the ones I cut. Do I cut those back to the 5th leaf as well?

Hi
What are you trying to achieve by pruning? If it's not too big let it grow, if it is too big prune it, and leave room for future growth.

But considering you just recently pruned, let it grow
