Grapes are easy to propagate if you use cuttings. Even as a beginner, you can grow new fruits this way.

Propagating grapes - this is how it works with cuttings

A simple method of propagating or even planting grapes is to plant cuttings. All you need is young shoots of a grape plant that have around 3 to 4 nodes.

  1. At best, the shoots should come from a plant that was planted last year and is already bearing fruit.
  2. In order to multiply the shoots, you should put them in the ground. The best season for this is late summer.
  3. Cut off the lower part of your shoots at an angle and insert this into the earth. The first two nodes of the grape plant should look straight out of the earth.
  4. To accelerate the growth of the plant, you can also sprinkle the underside with fertilizer before planting in the soil.

  5. When choosing the right soil in which the cuttings are to be planted, attention should be paid to the moisture content. A mixture of sand and hummus and leaves and stones are best. This means that the moisture does not evaporate from the soil as quickly and can be better absorbed by the cuttings.
  6. Don't forget to keep the grape shoots well moist. In this way you will achieve a result after just a few weeks.
  7. The cuttings are beginning to take root so you can plant them in your garden. Before removing the rooted grapes, make sure that the temperatures are no longer too warm. Autumn is suitable.

Propagation of the grapes by lowering

You can also propagate grapes using the lowering method. To do this, you do not have to separate the cuttings from the mother plant, just let this shoot take root.

  1. Find a young shoot of your grape plant that grows close to the ground.
  2. Pick up soil and bury the selected shoot under it.
  3. So that this does not grow out of the earth again, you should weigh down the whole construction with a few stones and regularly add more earth.
  4. The young shoot will be rooted after a while and can then be separated from the mother plant and transplanted on your own.
