How to care for Grape Plants ? 

Like deep, acidic (pH 5.0-6.5), well-drained, sandy soils, but can tolerate most soil types except alkaline and moist. Organic matter content should be between 4-5%, but very fertile soils are not recommended. If the soil is too fertile, the vines will grow too quickly and produce poor fruit.

1. Location
Place in a well-ventilated area as indoor ventilation is inadequate. Planting in plastic containers is also possible, but there is a risk of root rot as the soil does not dry quickly.

2. Sunshine 

 Vines grow best in full sun; about 7 or 8 hours a day. Insufficient light can cause fruit to be smaller, less attractive, and prone to mold and fruit rot. Vines can grow and produce in many different soil types, but good drainage is crucial. Roots often grow as deep as 15 feet.

3. Soils 

 Grapes can grow in a variety of soils, including sandy loam, sandy clay loam, red sandy soil, light to medium black soil, and red loam. The soil should be well drained and have good holding capacity, there should be no hard disk or impermeable layer in the upper 90 cm, groundwater should be at least 6.5 m below.

4. Hydration

 During the first two years of the growing season, young fruit trees need 1/2 to 1 inch of water per week, depending on rainfall. When watering young vines, saturate the root area. Over 5 gallons of water equals 1 inch of water over a 3 x 3 ft area.
