How to Care And Sow Grape Seeds

Ensure all pulp and other matter is removed from the viable seeds by thoroughly washing them. Soak them for up to 24 hours in a small amount of distilled water at home. Germination of many seeds requires a period of cold, moist conditions. In nature, seeds are planted in cold and wet soil over winter. You can mimic these conditions by stratifying seeds. After removing the seeds from the refrigerator, plant them in pots filled with good soil in early spring. You can either sow seeds in small or larger pots at least one inch deep.

Transplant your seedlings into 10 cm pots after growing to about 8 cm. For the healthiest plants, grow seedlings in a greenhouse or inside until they are 25 cm tall, have a sound root system, and have five leaves. For grapevines to thrive, they need adequate sunlight, drainage, and support. They need a sunny environment. Each grapevine requires about 8 hours of daily daylight. Make sure there is enough room. For growth, it is recommended that you space your plants about 2.5 m apart.
