ope and the West have had a strong tradition of growing grapes. It is an art that has been passed on from generation to generation. The art of growing a grape has gone from just planting to a science. The first thing you think of when you here someone say he is going to grow grapes is a large vineyard or a spacious garden. However, growing a grape can be done in much smaller places. Now growing a grape can be done in a pot.
The method of growing a grape from a pot began in Victorian gardens. Growers, in their efforts to supply grapes throughout the year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], devised this method. Aside from keeping a greenhouse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they also grew them in pots by growing grapes from pruned stems or vines.
In growing a grape in a pot, a grape cane can be taken from the main vine without detaching it, and grownin a pot. Since it is still attached to the vine it can produce fruit, but it would also grow roots in the pot. The moment the fruit ripens, the potted vine can be cut off from the main vine. The potted vine can be used as a centerpiece where fresh grapes can be picked straight from the plant.
Growing grapes from pots does not only have ornamental purposes. It can also be an alternative for growing grapes directly in the ground. Though grape vines may be big plants, their roots do not consume much space. Growing a grape in a pot is already enough.
Planting stems, that have been pruned, in containers is another way of growing grapes from a pot. This method would need pruned stems of about 12 to 18 inches. There are very specific instructions to cutting the stem and they need to be followed: straight at the bottom and slanting on top. But this method gives fewer yields compared to the previous one. The flat end should be planted down and one node should be kept just above the soil.
Growing grapes from pots makes it easier to put it different locations. A very good way to keep the grapes out of poor weather would be by growing a grape in a pot.
The following tips should be considered when growing a grape in a pot:
- Moist soil and silt loam aid in growing a grape. Grapes don't need so much fertilizer. It is usually enough to give the vines fertilizers with low nitrogen content at least thrice for every growing season. Fertilizers should not be given by mid-summer to slow down the growth of the vine and give way to the fruits.
- A trellis is always important in growing a grape even growing grapes from pots. Growing grapes from pots may need to be placed near walls for added support.
- Growers should prune the vine even if they're growing a grape in pots. If the vines are not pruned then they wouldn't be able to bear fruit.
A very rewarding hobby can be growing grapes from pots,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however the growing grape needs a lot of care and the process is time consuming. But once you get the hang of it, you'll soon find ways on how to earn extra cash from growing a grape right in your home.
