Are grapevines shade-loving or sun-loving plants?

Do grapevines prefer shade or sun?

Grapevines are sun-loving plants. They can only grow well in an environment with sufficient light. Whether they are potted or planted in the ground, they must be given a growing environment with sufficient light, and pay attention to providing appropriate shade in the summer.

Grapevines basking in the sun

Grape vines have high requirements for light and are long-day crops. The average light hours during maintenance must be more than 13 hours. If the light time is too short, it will result in small bunches, more fallen flowers and fruits, and the quality of the fruit will also deteriorate.

Grape vines can be exposed to the sun, but they are afraid of strong exposure to the sun, especially in the summer. Only sufficient light can promote the growth of the fruit and the plants can grow healthily.

Grapevine growth habits

Grapevine is a woody vine that prefers a warm, humid and well-lit growing environment. The optimum growth temperature during flowering is around 20°C. The plant has high requirements for water, especially in the early stages of growth.

Grapevines are native to western Asia and are cultivated all over the world. The plants need a lot of water to maintain during the fruiting season, so they must be planted in a location with sufficient light and good irrigation conditions.
