Preparation of planting material

Cuttings are best to start early in the spring, before the juices move in the shoots. From the most healthy, strong and well-developed lignified shoots of the past season, cuttings are cut in length of 20-30 cm, on each of which there must be 4 full-blown kidneys. Reproduction by cuttings of maiden grapes does not require the use of special fertilizers and means that stimulate rooting, but if you wish, you can soak for a few hours the planting material in the growth stimulant solution, and powder the cuttings with the "Kornevin" preparation just before planting.

The choice of the landing site, the preparation of the soil and the planting of the cuttings

So, the planting material is prepared, you can start planting our young girlish grapes. Reproduction by cuttings does not require any special preparation of soil, but if the land in this area is too depleted, it is better to fertilize it for better planting of seedlings. Planting cuttings should be made in close proximity to the support (house wall, arch or fence), better from the south, south-west or south-east side.

Prepare vodka with loose fertile soil or wells at least 50x50 cm in advance. The distance between seedlings should be about 1 m. When you propagate by cuttings of a girlish grapes, do not plant several cuttings in one tub. Almost everyone will grow a healthy strong plant, they can become closely in such proximity from each other.

Reproduction by stem stems

Such reproduction by cuttings of maiden grapes is akin to the rooting of the layers, however in this case a long and strong 2-3-year shoot is separated from the mother plant even before rooting. These stem cuttings are planted in pre-prepared wells to a depth of at least 5 cm, abundantly watered. After a while in internodes young roots and new shoots will appear. If desired, you can leave the young plant in this form, and you can cut into parts by the number of new shoots and get several young seedlings at once.
