Rooting Grapes - 07/19/17 07:14 AM

I have a grape vine my dad bought years ago. I would like to have a few more of this variety. I have never rooted one and know some of you know how to do this. I was thinking about cutting some of the runners and placing them in water, etc like you can root some flowers.

Let me know the best way to root a grape vine.

Thanks

Rootone works. Dip it then plant it. Get it at Home Depot.

You can try a few air rootings. On one of the runners, preferably at a joint, take a knife and scrape lightly the a short section of the vine. Put some rootone on it, put a wad of wet spaghnum moss on it and wrap the area with a piece of aluminum foil. Give it 5 or so weeks and check it for roots. If you have some then cut the section out in early spring and transplant it.

They root best from dormant cuttings

This should work well. Mine, before I took them all out, would drop roots at different locations on the vine and I actually had them root from that. Good luck!

If any of the vine reaches the ground, just cover a section of it with dirt. It will root fairly quickly then you can dig it up and move it.

This is how we do it. We always purposely leave a few runners close to the ground on some of the mature vines for that exact purpose.
