Home rooting of grape cuttings in water
To carry out this process - rooting grape cuttings - you must have a liter glass jar, a pot of soil and an excellent cutting. Naturally, it is advisable to stock up on cuttings in the autumn. At the end of March or a little later, you can start the rooting process itself. Due to the fact that grapes are plants that love light, it is not advisable to keep the seedlings on the window for a long time.
After refreshing the lower cut, completely put the cuttings in warm water for a day to replenish the moisture supply in the tissues.
Next, pour boiled or filtered water into a liter jar. In this case, the height of the latter should not exceed 4 cm. Place the cuttings in jars. After some time, a gelatinous transparent substance will begin to stand out from the sections below. Therefore, periodically you need to take out, peel off and rinse the cuttings. Otherwise, the process of decay may begin. The water needs to be changed daily. Soon the cuts will swell a little, thicken and brighten. This will mean that the cutting has already grown a layer of wound tissue. And later the roots are formed. From this point on, the liquid level must be increased to 8 cm. It is recommended to drop a couple of tablets of pharmacy activated carbon into the jar. Now there is no need to change the water so often. The kidneys should wake up in ten days. These plants will consume more water. Therefore, it is advisable not to forget to add the latter to the jar.
After 20 days, the roots will actively begin to grow. When they are about 3 cm long, plant the cuttings in the soil. And before the onset of constant heat, leave the seedlings to grow on the window. And in the spring, those already with a ready-made closed root system must be safely planted in a previously prepared place.
Thus, the rooting of grape cuttings in water prevents harmful insects and other undesirable factors affecting the favorable growth of this plant.
