Steps To Grow Grapes From Seeds
Here is an easy step-by-step guide to growing grapes from seeds in your home garden.
Step 1: Choose healthy and plump seeds from grapes. If seeds are bought, they should be suitable for gardening (Sustainable Gardening Ideas).
Step 2: Grow the seeds in between a moist paper towel or cloth inside a plastic bag to germinate and keep them in the refrigerator for about three months.
Step 3: Next, you need to plant your seeds in small pots approximately 1/4 inch deep in the moist soil.
Step 4: Place the pots in a warm spot with indirect sunlight. Ensure that you spray water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Cover the pot with a plastic wrap to retain moisture and remove it once the seedling appears.
Step 5: Once a few leaves appear on your plant, transfer it into a bigger pot with more soil mixed with manure.
Step 6: Let your plant grow under proper light, with appropriate amounts of water, and occasional fertilisation. However, stay patient as it takes a long time for grape plants to completely grow from seeds.
