How to grow grapes from a handle and a stone

It's not a secret for anyone how useful grapes are for human health. About its medicinal properties, you can write a whole book, listing the vitamins and nutrients that it contains. Grapes are not only eaten as a berry, but also make wine from it. To date, winemaking is considered one of the most popular and fastest growing industries in the world. And elite varieties of wine become a symbol of luxury and chic.

But the main thing in the production of wine, not the technology itself, but the kind of grapes from which the drink is made. Only properly grown grapes can claim the role of raw materials for the future masterpiece of winemaking. Many landowners who want to start growing grapes may wonder "how to grow grapes from a cuttings and where can I get it?"

In the event that there are no other grape bushes already grown on your site, and there is no way to take the cuttings from someone you know, today they can be purchased at specialized stores. There you can find and buy any sort of grapes. In addition, the store's consultant will gladly share the secrets of how to grow grapes from the cuttings.

And you can do it this way: as a rule, cuttings for grapes are cut in March. At this time the vine is in hibernation, that is, the activation of plant growth has not yet begun. The cut must have three or more kidneys, but not less. This is one of the most important conditions that must be met by the planting stem selected for further propagation.

At one end, the cut is made horizontally, not far from the upper bud, and at the bottom cutting is cut obliquely. The sawdust, previously filled with boiling water and chilled, is poured into a plastic pot or a bottle. In this mixture it is necessary to lower the stalk so that the soil covers the second lower kidney, and the pot is placed on the windowsill. Periodically, sawdust is watered to keep the wet environment in the pot. In addition to ordinary water, approximately once a week you can water the stalk with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Here's how to grow cuttings of grapes, but this is just the beginning, pre-planting the cuttings for the appearance of roots. In June, prepared cuttings are planted in open ground. In the period from March to June, leaves and a strong root system appear on the branch.

There is another way how to grow grapes from a cut. For this, almost the same method of planting is used, only the soil type changes: a special nutrient mixture of earth and peat is used, with a small addition of sand. A pot with a plant is put in a warm place, and it is desirable that the grapes receive as much light as possible. If you want the growth of the cuttings to pass faster and more efficiently, place the pot in a small greenhouse and connect the phytolamp. Such cuttings need to be hardened, and planted in the soil in late May - early June.

The end of the cuttings is laid in the ground, covered and watered. Watch out for the planting technology, as growing grapes from the cuttings is not as easy as it seems at first glance. After the first flowering and fruiting, only one or two brushes are left on the bush, all the rest is cut off. This allows the grapes to grow evenly and correctly distribute the harvest load.

And how to grow grapes from a stone? To do this, of course, it is possible, but not reasonable. And the process of cultivation drags on for many years. The first fruits can be only after 5-6 years. Most often, wild grapes grow from the stone , and not the kind from which the stone was taken. In short, it will not be possible to grow a bush of grapes from a bone, and if it does, the chances of having a full-fledged plant yielding a good harvest are few. Although lovers of experiments can, of course, try.
