Hello everyone,
Im still very new to caring for pot-plants and being attentive to deficiencies etc, and unfortunately google has failed me this time.
I have a new japanese wisteria, purchased only a few weeks ago, and slip-potted recently into something a little bigger. It's begun to look a little sickly:

Is this just a symptom of minor disturbance during slip-potting? I have only given it some seamungus pellets thus far, no fertilisation just yet.
I've been watering it probably 4 times a week with the weather in Melbourne starting to warm a bit, so I'm not sure if it could be a sign of over-watering.
Any help is much appreciated!

Edit: Does this belong in the Pests and Diseases forum?

Don't know what the problem might be but i didn't think you could overwater Wisteria so I don't think its that. I sit mine in water over Summer.

Looks pretty fungal to me. What sort of soil have you planted it into? Also was there a sickly plant in the new pot, prior to you putting the plant into it?

I hope it's not fungal - there was nothing in the previous pot for at least 8-10 months, it had just been left out in the sun the whole time.
I did eventually find a photo that showed a phosphorus deficiency which looked uncannily like it does.. so I've applied a bit to hopefully remedy the issue. I'll update for interest if it turns around!

I think that is sun and wind when we had the 35 degree day last week, where there might not have been enough water it could get to the leaves due to the transplant.

Well, while I did add phosphorus to the soil, I find it hard to believe that it may have acted so quickly. Still, it's happily pushing out some new growth at least!

Well done, looks like you may have resolved the issue

Healthy new growth suggests sun exposure was the culprit , not disease or potting medium. Now you just have to figure out how to make it flower one day.

The swelling at the base suggests this one is a seedling. That means around 7 years to maturity. One of mine was around 20 years old before it flowered but some of that delay was probably poor care on my part.

I can't figure them out. I have an old Wisteria which was flowering when I dug it and has not flowered since??

After maturity, conditions need to be correct for flower production. Stressed trees may not flower. Working out what combinations of factors trigger wisteria to flower is hard because there are so many contributing factors.
Many of the theories handed down are probably based on incomplete info.
Just try to keep the plant happy through the entire year and
