I can't see anything wrong with it. Many leaves fold at night. Google nyctinasty.

And is that really 2 weeks growth from seed? That's amazing.

Hello, thank you for your reply. Im totally new at growing from seeds. Actually, im totally new at gardening period hehe

I planted this wisteria seed on feb 14. so its a little bit over 2 weeks now. I just woke up and now its all good again. I just dont understand the up and down and didnt know if it was normal or not.

Thats the wisteria right now

Oh ok. I was afraid of putting it outside cos it seems so frail. It's also been windy lately. I'll do what you suggested and put it outside on and off.

I'm in Dallas Texas and the weather has been warm here.

Thanks a lot!

Stephane

Start with just an hour or two in the shade and increase gradually each day until it is outside full time.

I put it outside yesterday for 1 hour in the shade, later on this morning when it gets warmer, I'll take it outside again.

Last night, it was inside, and it looks so bad. The leaves were totally down. So I moved it in a different area and this morning, it's all perked up.

Could it be the A/C hitting it and making it wilt at the end of the day?

Could the leaves be too heavy for the stem?
I checked videos on youtube of Wisteria, and after 2 weeks, the seedlings are only 1 inch tall. How could mine be so big in 2 weeks. Maybe it grew too fast.

I'll keep harden it off.

Thanks :)

Stephanie, have you checked out floral's suggestion in the first response above? "Many leaves fold at night. Google nyctinasty." There may be nothing wrong with the plant.

Hello, I did look up nyctinasty but all I can find is about plants whose flowers close at night. I'm trying to see if there is something more specific to the wisteria but can't find much.

But from what I'm seeing, this has to be it. I'm not touching the soil at all, it's moist. During the day, the leaves are up, and at night, they are down, like touching the ground. In the morning, they are back up. It's like a yoyo.

Maybe there is just nothing wrong with it but I wish I could find something online that says it hehe just to reassure me.

The Wisteria is a Blue Japanese Wisteria btw.

This is it right now. Almost 3 weeks old.

Stephane

I'll repeat, there is nothing ailing your Wisteria, Stephane. Both flowers and leaves can fold/droop at night in various species. There's absolutely no need to worry.

'I wish I could find something online that says it.' Well I am on line and I'm saying it ;-) So is NHBabs. And if that's still not convincing you.... read the second sentence of this Wikipedia entry on Nyctinasty. Wisteria is a Leguminous plant.

Ok I believe you guys :) I'll just keep doing what you said and put it outside gradually every day to harden it off.

Thanks guys

I love starting plants from seed and observing their development, my windowsills are full of rose seedlings and an array of perennials and annuals. Your little wisteria vine is off to a good start, do keep us updated as to its progress and I look forward to your future threads and postings, this forum is a great place to learn :)
