When is the best month to transplant grape seedlings?

1. Which month is best for transplanting?

The time for transplanting grape seedlings is chosen according to their growing year. One-year-old seedlings can be planted in spring, when the temperature is more suitable and very beneficial to their growth. If the seedlings are larger, transplanting should be done in the fall to provide them with a longer recovery period for spring growth.

2. Transplanting method

1. Pruning: If the sapling is large, it needs to be pruned before transplanting. Otherwise, the plant will die due to lack of nutrients during the seedling growth period. Generally, half of the branches should be removed so that it can survive easily. When digging out the roots, bring more soil and root system to reduce the time it takes for the seedlings to grow.

2. Potting soil: Grape seedlings are highly adaptable to soil, but sandy loam is more suitable for their growth. If you don't have it, you can mix garden soil and sand, which can also help with drainage and ventilation. At the same time, you can also add a little base fertilizer to provide certain nutrients for the plants.

3. Planting: Plant the grape seedlings in the soil, water them thoroughly and cover them with soil. You can also add a layer of film to keep them warm and moist. The main trunk should also be wrapped with film to prevent moisture from being lost due to strong winds.

4. Maintenance: Provide sufficient water after transplanting. Especially during the germination period, growth period and fruit expansion period, insufficient water will not only affect the development, but also make the fruit not full. Generally, water the plant once every 7-10 days, but there should be no accumulation of water. The plant should also be drained in time during the rainy season.
