grape vine cutting
Hi,
I have a grape vine cutting in a 3-1/2" pot consisting of a woody stem 4mm dia and about 100mm long, 50mm in the soil and the rest in the air. The new growth is from a bud at the very top of the woody stem and is now up to its third pair of leaves. It needs repotting soon as roots are showing at the bottom, and here is the question: will the old woody stem be able to expand or will it constrain future growth? I could set it deeper in the new pot so that the soil level came up to the new growth, from where more roots might develop, or is there a danger of the new shoot rotting if I do that? What would people advise? brian mitchell |

As Charlie says the stem will get bigger as the vine grows, You say the roots are showing out of the bottom of the pot, you dont say the size of the pot, but I wouldn't be in to much of a hurry to repot unless the vine has been in the same pot for a year or so. I'd repot in the spring. David Hill |

Did you or a friend take a cutting from an existing vine or did you buy it as a plant? Also I missed the pot size, Yes repot into a 6 inch pot but take care you dont dammage the new roots, and dont let it dry out after repotting David Hill |

Did you or a friend take a cutting from an existing vine or did you buy it as a plant? I took it from an existing vine earlier this year, knowing nothing about what I was doing. Also I missed the pot size, Yes repot into a 6 inch pot but take care you dont dammage the new roots, and dont let it dry out after repotting Thanks. And thanks to Charlie, too. It's an incredibly vigorous vine of unknown type, the cutting is partly for sentimental reasons. It --the parent-- produces loads of small, not very sweet red grapes but I like them and later I'd like to plant the cutting into the ground, next Spring I suppose, so I'll need more advice about that when the time comes. brian mitchell |
