Seedling grapes from a stone: how to grow and what prospects
We are used to propagate vines from cuttings or seedlings. But every seed planted in the ground, can in theory be a wonderful plant.
Grapes? From seed?
Looking ahead, I will say that it is not necessary to wait for the amazing taste of seedlings and harvest baskets. Grapes can not replicate all the features of the parent variety. But at seed breeding method has its charms:
- This is an interesting and fun experiment. To work, you can attach, for example, a child that he had seen with his own eyes, like an exotic vine comes from the small seeds.
- An interesting option for those who want to grow grapes on the site is not for huge harvests, and garden ornaments.
- Seedling will be more adapted to the weather conditions of the region, because from childhood growing up in them.
In addition, to make it all very easy. I explain in detail how to do the right thing and what to expect as a result.
Questions to the bones
In principle, not so important, where to take a bone: it is possible and from purchased fruit, and brought out a Yugov and from berries grown on the plot a neighbor or friend. The second option is even preferable, because the resulting plant will be at least twice regionalized. After a berry would be taken from the vines already growing in your area.
I advise you to take just a few seeds and then choose from the best seedlings. Strong, hardy, fast-growing. So you can stay a little longer in the role of breeder-vinogradovoda)
The main requirement - the fruit must be ripe and kozhurki bone - dark brown.
Then there are two versions of events:
- After extracting the bone directly planting it in a container (next fad).
- Washed, put in refrigerator for 1.5 months and wait for the bone cracked. So the process of stratification will take place.
The first method seems to be fast at first glance. Because it is not known how many more bone will grow into the ground. It is better to make a stratification to separate the promising seed by seed dubious (in terms of growing!) Quality.
Important: It is better to start with seeds now, in early autumn. Then you have landed a seedling in the open ground in early summer.
planting herself
There are no special difficulties there. If you've ever planted any seedlings, you know exactly what to do.
Do not take too much crockery. Plastic cup is ideal. Otherwise, the land begins to turn sour grape seeds and in the end simply moldy.
Make sure that the soil was only slightly damp. To be sure, you can build teplichku, covered cup cup capacity other more. By the way, in a transparent bowl will be interesting to look like roots entwine rastyushki ground.
Place the seedling in a sunny window, gently moisten the earth and planted in the garden in early summer. It was interesting? Click "Thumbs up!"
