• Excitement. To grow such a plant is long and difficult, and this process requires great efforts, constant attention and care. Not every gardener can grow a garden culture in a pot from a small seed.
• Experiment. For those who breed new varieties, grapes from the bone can become a kind of "guinea pig", where you can try out various fertilizing, as well as trace how the plant reacts to pests, diseases and other negative factors.
• The stock. Grapes, growing from the bones of which passes under the conditions of an apartment, are used as a support for an ordinary garden vine. This will save on seedlings.
• Decoration. Grown "home" grapes appearance does not differ from the garden. And as the plant itself is very beautiful, they can decorate their balcony.

What crop should be expected?

The berries obtained from the "home" vine, their taste qualities are significantly different from the garden. Fruiting begins after planting after 4-5 years. The first time the yield is expected to be quite small, but the taste of the berries is sour or have a slightly pronounced taste.

Seed preparation

Proper preparation of seeds for planting should be given due consideration. It is best to choose new varieties, as this ensures that grapes, growing from the bones of which is carried out at home, will be resistant to various diseases and unfavorable conditions. Bones must be extracted from the ripeest berries, differing in variety qualities, which do not have deformation and without signs of damage to rot.

Grape seeds that will be used for growing at home should be very large and preferably beige-brown in color. They are carefully and thoroughly washed under water, and then do not dry, but immediately spread out over moistened capron sacks and wrapped in plain polyethylene film. Prepared grape bones are recommended to be placed on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator. It should be regularly inspected and periodically washed. As soon as a few months they will be cracked, this indicates their willingness to land in the ground.

Material planting technology

Is it possible to grow grapes from a stone at home? If everything is done correctly, then this is quite feasible. The sprouted grape seeds are planted in individual containers, which fill the fertile soil. The optimal soil consists of a mixture of humus and sifted sand. Before sowing seeds, the soil should be decontaminated, for this, the ground is calcined in an oven at high temperature or it is poured with boiling water with the addition of potassium permanganate.

After the tanks are filled with soil, it is moistened and the prepared grape bones are moistened to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. In order for the shoots to appear as soon as possible, pots with crops should be placed on a window sill where there is good light and plenty of heat.

Peculiarities of growing

If you create an optimal temperature regime when growing grapes from the bones at home, and the crops are provided with the required amount of light, you can expect the appearance of sprouts in 10 days.

Conditions for growing grapes are as follows:

• Plants should be regularly watered at room temperature, but do not over-moisten or dry the soil excessively;
• The soil must be loosened, and it must be done very carefully, so as not to harm the sprouts;
• If there is such a need, then watering is complemented by fertilizing with mineral and organic fertilizers;
• The plant should be protected from drafts, and if the weather is very sunny, then the grapes should be pritenit.

It is necessary to regularly inspect seedlings, since young plants are often afflicted with diseases or a spider mite. In the spring they are transplanted into larger vessels.

If the growing of seedlings of grapes, then next year they are recommended to be transplanted into the open ground. It is also very important to temper the plants before they are planted in a permanent place. Thanks to this procedure, they quickly adapt to new growing conditions and take root more quickly.

Tips and Tricks

The cultivation of grapes at home lasts until it reaches a height of 1.5-2 meters. After that, the seedlings can develop only on the open ground. In this case, the growing conditions of the plant are as follows:

• The landing site should be well illuminated and not be drafted. It is best if the north side is protected.
• Choose a site preferably with a light, breathable and moderately moist soil.
• Typically, the cultivation of grapes is carried out on trellises, which are very strong supports of two-meter growth with a stretched wire. Between planted plants should be a distance of 1.5 or 2 meters.
• Grape should be provided with quality drainage in the form of stones of medium size or broken bricks. It is recommended to fill it with high-quality and fertile soil.

In the future, care for planted grapes provides regular watering, loosening of soil, fertilization. If you competently care for the plant, then it will begin to bear fruit in three or four years after planting the bones of the grapes.
