Growing grapes from cuttings, simple methods

Many novice gardeners are interested in the question of whether it is possible propagation of grapes by cuttings, because this is the simplest, inexpensive way to grow.

Cuttings are prepared when pruning bushes, at the turn of September - October, using the middle part of summer shoots that have already bear fruit. Ideally, the cutting diameter is 8-10 mm, the length between nodes is 8-10 cm. The harvested cuttings are soaked for about a day, disinfected in a weak solution of iron sulfate, then dried and labeled.

Store harvested cuttings in a cellar, basement or refrigerator under plastic wrap.

In winter (late January - early February), harvested cuttings should be soaked for two days in warm snow or settled water, changing daily, and kept in a root formation stimulator for a day.

Growing grapes from cuttings. Breeding methods

1. At the bottom of a plastic glass with holes with a capacity of half a liter, pour a mixture of earth and leaf humus (1:1) in a 2 cm layer, in the center of which is a 0.2 liter plastic cup. The space between them is covered with earth, compacted and watered. A smaller glass is filled with washed and calcined river sand, watered, and a hole is made in the center of the sand into which the cutting is inserted. The glass is topped with sand and covered with a plastic bottle without a bottom or lid. Water with warm water. When 4-5 leaves are formed, it can be planted.
