How to grow grapes from a cutting
This culture has been cultivated by mankind for millennia. Good grapes bring a lot of pleasure for children, nutrients and vitamins for the whole family. You can also make homemade infusions, wines from it. If you are a beginner gardener with no experience in growing grapes, then it is better to start with the most persistent and unpretentious varieties, for example, from Amur. It tolerates even severe frosts surprisingly easily, is perfect for decorative purposes, but the berries of this variety are small and with a tough skin. With it, you can fill your hand and at the same time decorate a gazebo, garden or courtyard.
To achieve a good result in this matter, you need to know how to grow grapes from a cuttings. This breeding method is the most popular. Indeed, when grown from seeds, this plant often exhibits a change in varietal traits, and as a result, we do not have quite what we expected.
If you purchased cuttings back in the fall, then you should take care of their successful preservation until spring. To do this, you can bury them in a trench 10-15 cm deep and cover them with sand. Or store it at home in the basement or in the refrigerator at a temperature of about 0 degrees.
To save time and get a harvest faster, you can get cuttings already in February and plant them at home in a separate container (for example, cut plastic bottles). The containers must have holes for excess moisture to drain.
The land also needs to be well prepared. A combination of humus, turf, sand and rotted sawdust is best. Having poured the earthen mixture into bottles, you need to drown them in a bucket of water and hold until the air stops coming out. Be sure to wax the cuttings - dip the top of each twig in the molten paraffin. We plant it so that the upper peephole looks out of the ground. We water, weed and wait for the first shoots.
I also planted cuttings in a cut plastic bottle in February and put them on the windowsill, and in the open ground, planted grapes with leaves. In the second year, the grapes began to bear fruit.
And I used a more complex technology, because I wanted to grow more southern, non-zoned grapes. Sprouted cuttings at the beginning of summer were planted in the ground in plastic bottles on the south side (near the greenhouse). In the fall, he dug them up, cut them off, covered the roots with wet moss and put them in the basement. And only the next year he dropped him off at a permanent place. It's like two-year-olds - everything has taken root perfectly.
