How old is the grape seedling to buy and how to plant it?

1. The best few years

You can buy grape seedlings to plant at home. Generally, you can buy one-year-old or two-year-old seedlings. It is best to buy seedlings that are more than one year old but less than two years old. They can go through two flower bud differentiation periods and are more likely to bear fruit in the third year. If the grape seedlings are older, it will be difficult for them to take root and survive after planting, and the number of fruits they produce will also be smaller. Therefore, when buying grape seedlings, it is best to choose young ones that have not yet taken shape.

2. How to plant

1. Planting time: It is best to plant grape seedlings in autumn, which gives them some time to grow slowly, and they will start to grow vigorously in spring.

2. Prepare the soil: Before planting the grape seedlings, you must choose suitable soil. Although it does not have high requirements for the soil, it grows better in fertile and loose sandy soil.

3. Digging and pruning: Dig a larger hole in the soil, put organic fertilizer and urea at the bottom of the hole as base fertilizer, and then cover it with a layer of soil. Trim the roots of the grape seedlings, remove dead and rotten roots, leaving healthy and developed roots, disinfect them, plant them in the pit, fill them with soil, compact them, and then water them thoroughly.

4. Maintenance and management: After planting, cover the soil to keep warm, water regularly to keep moist, maintain sufficient sunlight, and pay attention to pruning before spring.
