Wisteria Pruning Question

[TAMMY BOTZON]

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

I don't grow wisteria, but I have noticed a lot of discussion on pruning in the past, try the 'Search' function in the top right corner, there will be a wealth of information there.

I read it incourages more new flowers!

Thank you I tried that.
