Wisteria Doesn't Flower Anymore

I live in Los Angeles. I moved into my house in 1992. There is a wisteria that grows on the handrail in the front yard. It gets a lot of sun. For the first several years I lived here, it flowered every spring. For the last several years, it leaves beautifully but has zero flowers.

What should I do so it flowers again?

Thanks.

Are you feeding?

Nope - not doing anything, actually. Looks like I should be doing something, which is why I posted.

I would then suggest that you begin feeding. Plants need nutrients and soil becomes depleted over time. Organic compost is my primary choice, but even supermarket 20-20-20 would be a start. You may choose to use a "flowering" formula to help it along- that would be a fertilizer with a higher middle number like 5-10-5 or some such. If it were *me* I would use a general formula to get the plant back into tip top shape before asking it to perform, but others may say it's fine to push for blooming this season.

Pruning pratices are VERY important to Wisterias. Prune back the long vines until each have 5-7 nodes left. Also have you been feeding it? If not do.
