Grapes on the balcony are a great solution for open structures that need shading. Girlish or wild grapes are used to decorate building facades, fences, hedges and, of course, balconies.

Here is such a facade decor you can create with your own hands.

Classification

The plant belongs to the class of lianas and has a length of up to 15 meters. Depending on the variety, the leaves can have a different shape and color - from yellow to dark purple and crimson.

The two most common grapes are tri-pointed and five-leaf grapes. The first one resembles ivy and is well recognized by its three-lobed, multi-colored leaves.

Tri-pointed wild grapes

The five-leafed one pleases with a green living curtain all summer long and only in autumn it acquires a bright red color. The leaves themselves have an oval five-pointed shape.

Growing grapes

The most comfortable conditions for grapes are northern, western or eastern balconies. Remember, he does not like direct sunlight, he prefers shade or partial shade.

Each plant should have at least 3-4 m of free area. If you have determined the place of growth, you can start landing.

We will need:

• seedling cup (paper, plastic or clay);
• film to protect sprouts from wind and cold;
• complex fertilizer;
• pegs to guide growth;
• rope mesh or chain-link;
• garden tools.

When purchasing seedlings, look at the root system. If the roots of the plant look too small and are wrapped in plastic, skip this purchase. Chances are good that the grape bush will not take root at all. The price of potted plants is slightly higher, but you will receive a guarantee of survival.

Maiden grapes prefer humus-rich soils... Initially, it is better to plant the cuttings in small containers, and after they get stronger, "relocate" to larger containers or open ground. The latter option will be relevant for those whose balcony is on the first floor.

Before growing a seedling, carry out the cutting of the cuttings, which promotes the formation of heel roots.

When preparing the soil, take in equal parts mature compost, meadow sandy loam and loamy soil, a purchased universal peat substrate. This will be the optimal soil composition for grapes.

If the planting pot does not have drainage holes, fill the bottom with expanded clay, gravel or crushed fragments of ceramic pots. The size of the drainage backfill should be at least 5-10 cm.

Girlish grapes in boxes and pots must have a thick drainage layer

Dry twigs, crushed leaves, a thin layer of manure or humus can also be placed on the bottom.This layer will be quite loose due to the air cavities necessary for the free germination of the plant roots.

Growing grapes on the balcony is best done in tubs with a volume of at least 100-120 liters. Your choice can be a wooden box or a ceramic pot with a depth of 40 cm.

Even growing in a pot requires a solid foundation.

The first two years, the grapes will be trailing single shoots with insignificant thin branches. Position the support immediately to form the crown. As the latter, a lattice made of strips or a wide board with stuffed nails and stretched wire is suitable.

When the shoots reach the edge of the support, pinch them for better branching.

Before the first wintering, young shoots are cut in half, the tub is brought to a warm place, in the spring they are exposed and normal care is resumed. For the next wintering, the plant does not move, but if necessary, the root system is insulated.

Propagation of grapes

Wild grapes on the balcony are propagated by layering, seeds and cuttings.

Cutting method of reproduction

Care rules

Watering and feeding

Planting and grooming can turn girly grapes into bonsai

• Watering is carried out at least once a week. To maintain a sufficient level of moisture, it is better to cover the soil in the pot with a loose layer of needles or tree bark.... Do not be zealous when carrying out this work, otherwise the plant will be deprived of air exchange and mold will appear on the surface.
• Top dressing is applied in the spring using a solution of 50 grams of nitroammofoska. During an active growing season, it is better to supplement the plant with organic fertilizers.

Every year, replace part of the soil in the tub with humus and manure. The procedure is best done in early spring.

• Do not forget to gently loosen the soil, restoring the ability to "breathe" for the roots.
• In order for the grapes to form the necessary shape, the young plant is tied to wooden pegs set in the soil.... As the crown forms, it is necessary to tighten the support-ropes, which will allow the antennae to be fixed and climb up. Also, be sure to periodically prune dry and limp twigs.

Pest control

The grapes are quite resistant to pests and diseases. Most often, you have to deal with such a scourge as aphids. In this situation, I recommend starting by rinsing the leaves with a solution of laundry soap or alcohol.

Summing up

On a landscaped balcony, you can create a cozy place to relax

Girlish grapes on the balcony feel great in a private house and apartment, you just have to find a suitable place and a comfortable tub. Shade-loving plants and flowers can peacefully exist with him in the neighborhood: marigolds, ageratums, viols, nasturtiums, balsams, ever-flowering and tuberous begonias, choose the right company and go ahead for a suitable pot!

It remains for me to offer you a video in this article and regret good luck in balcony gardening. What is already growing on your balcony? Share your secrets with our readers.

But at my friends I saw a girl's grapes, so they have the whole area planted with it, it grows quickly, over the summer long lashes grow, and my "poor" in one place everything "treads".Only I noticed one feature, my foliage is dark, and my friends are pale, maybe my variety is different? Can someone tell me?

   Three different genera of the Vinogradov family are often combined under the Russian name "Grapes":

   grapes, grapes and parthenocissus or maiden grapes.
   Each genus has a large number of species.
   Maiden grapes includes about 10 types. For decorative purposes, 2 types are more often used: five-leaf and triangular... The latter is a low-frost-resistant species.

   You understand that there are many options, but unfortunately there are no photos.

   It is possible that you are not at all Girlish grapes.

   Put pergolas around the house). When the grapes grow, send them to the house.

   You can make good deep and wide boxes for grapes, put them on a blind area near the walls of the house.

   In this case, will the roots not be above the snow level in winter? Will they freeze right in the boxes?

   Will be. But not letting them freeze is the task of those who want to grow these grapes. The easiest way to "huddle" with snow))

   By the way, the girlish grapes on the trunk do not even look bad, and the "crown" can be formed at will. But support is needed! And if a vine of young grapes is fancifully tied, for example, in a knot or given any other shape, then over time (and rather quickly, since the grapes grow well) you will get an original decoration of the garden, even in winter! You can experiment and come up with some kind of bonsai! Good luck!

    Girlish, classic.)) He may just not like the place. And this happens)) He loves water very much, but in theory you should have plenty of it at home. It can slow down for two years, but not more. In such cases, it is always said "behold the root."

    You somehow very sadly described him. Very decent girlish grapes, just young yet. Does what you see in the photo freeze every year? Strange ... IMHO - shouldn't!

    Imagine freezing every year. But at the expense of the soil, I thought, it grows near the garage, and there is the south side, and it is always dry there ... the soil dries out very quickly, even after a good rain. So he needs to change his place !?

    5 years old - no longer young ... That's the point.

    Or "get confused" with good watering, at least one year. Then it will grow itself, wood well - and winter well.

    My grapes grow in different conditions - there is one that grows in absolute shade on the north side of the house. But it pours from the roof - mercilessly. The beast!)

    BE CAREFUL!
    I completely agree with Dima Danilov (post number 74) - the roots of the virgins. grapes are extremely aggressive! A sad experience of this summer: two-year grapes in 1.5-2 months "shot" the root by 3.5-4 meters, killing rhubarb planted in the spring and already taken on the way, climbed into the bed with bell pepper and "gobbled" half of it!
    In early spring, both the bed and the place for rhubarb were dug up with a bayonet, i.e. this root was not there! Unfortunately, I could not even imagine what caused these troubles. I discovered it purely by accident, digging up a birch weed on the side of a pepper, an incomprehensible slightly shaggy cord-like root, stretched out almost 2 meters! The root passed under the tomatoes and brought me to the virgins. grapes. In the spring we will transplant it closer to the walnut - let them "butt" with the roots ... At our dacha there are 5 "root" aggressors: apricot, pomegranate, lilac, walnut, and here's another - girlish grapes. Under them, the weeds grow with difficulty!
    In the photo, the fact of the suppression of bell pepper. In the far corner, you can even see a loosened trace from an elongated root.

    Can. The minimum is a 10 liter bucket.

Maiden grapes in your garden
Five-leaf maiden grape is an ideal plant for vertical gardening and decoration. Its branches can be used to strengthen steep slopes. Often people are afraid to use a vine because of the risk of its uncontrolled growth. They are afraid that the grapes can destroy the walls of a brick fence or the foundation of a building. In fact, the branches of the grapes, on the contrary, protect the wall from destruction, from sudden changes in temperature, precipitation and strong winds.
Maiden grapes grow mainly by rooting branches bent to the ground, with little root growth. In order to prevent strong growth of grapes, you can dig limiters into the ground: pieces of slate, metal sheets, boards, or you can initially plant it in a confined space. For example, between the foundation of buildings and a fence or in a container.
Experienced plant collectors cultivate living movable walls from maiden grapes. They put it in 30-liter containers. Near the containers at a distance of 2 meters, poles are also installed 2 meters high. A transverse beam is fixed from above between them. It turns out a frame two by two, a net of nylon threads is pulled onto this frame and the branches of grapes are woven into the cells. A cord is passed along the upper edge of the net so that it can be easily removed from the supports, rolled up or straightened. It turns out a mobile screen. A few years later, when the grapes form a solid green canvas, the entire structure is placed where there is a need for landscaping.

With the help of maiden grapes, you can create an aesthetically beautiful, pleasant-looking landscape, reminiscent of the old garden of a Russian noble estate.
For the winter, containers are buried in the ground. The plant winters well without shelter and is decorative all season. In autumn, the leaves turn scarlet, and bright dark blue inedible fruits hang from the branches.
The maiden grape is a plant for those who want the results to be seen here and now. It grows very quickly, and in height it can rise by tens of meters, if there was a support. Adult plants practically do not require attention to themselves: they are drought-resistant, shade-tolerant and grow on any soil. The only thing that needs to be done is to carry out anti-aging and sanitary pruning once a year. Don't be afraid to prune it too much, the grapes will recover easily and look neat. Cut out old and weak shoots, as well as anything that seems superfluous to you. Take a look around, perhaps, and you have unsightly places that need to be effectively decorated.

3. Before planting, the seedling in a pot must be watered.
4. The seedling is placed at an angle.
5. The seedling should be pruned throughout the season. Do not cut in winter. You need to prune branches to normal healthy wood.
6. Around the seedling, you need to make a circle for watering.
7. Attach a wire nearby so that the plant can hold.
