Which months are suitable for planting grapes? Planting time and method

When are grapes planted?

Grape planting should be carried out in the spring of each year, specifically from March to April. At this time, the temperature is between 15-25 degrees. Grapes grow fastest, have the highest survival rate, and have the best growth in the later period. Open-air planting requires building a greenhouse in advance to ensure the growth of the plants.

Grape harvest time

Grapes are usually available from mid-August to early October, with mid-September being the time when grapes are produced the most. This is also the time when they are available in large quantities and the prices are relatively cheap. However, grapes grown in greenhouses can be available at any time, regardless of the season.

Grape planting methods and key points

1. Seedling selection

When planting grapes, you need to choose seedlings with well-developed and well-preserved root systems for cultivation, so that the grapes can grow and bear fruit better. After selecting the grape seedlings, they need to be properly pruned, retaining at least 3 buds, pruning the lower lateral roots, and disinfecting the seedlings.

2. Planting

Plant the trimmed grape seedlings into the soil, water them thoroughly, cover the greenhouse with plastic film, and control the temperature and humidity of the environment. This will be more conducive to the growth of grapes. After planting, check the survival of the seedlings. If they do not survive, replant them in time.

3. Post-maintenance

Under normal circumstances, the grape seedlings will sprout in about 15 days. Fertilization can be carried out after the grape seedlings grow 7-8 new leaves. At this time, mainly apply dilute nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of the plant. When fertilizing, control the concentration and water in time to avoid fertilizer damage. After the plant is formed, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied.
