The planting of grape potted plants1. Prepare soil: Grapes love light, fertilizer, and good drainage, so when planting, it is necessary to select soil that is breathable and has good drainage. A mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and sand in a ratio of 1:1:1 can be used.
2. Choose a pot: Grape potted plants are best suited for pots with a diameter of 30-40 centimeters and a height of 40-50 centimeters, such as earthenware or ceramic pots, with drainage holes at the bottom.
3. Planting: Place the grape seedling in the pot, fill in the soil, gently compact it to ensure that the roots are fully in contact with the soil, water thoroughly after planting, and place it in a sunny location.

3. Fertilizing: Grapes grow vigorously and require regular fertilization. During the growing period, apply a compound fertilizer once a month, and during the flowering and fruiting period, increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote fruit development.
4. Pruning: Grapes need to be pruned in time during growth to maintain an attractive shape. Perform a thinning pruning every spring before the plants start to sprout, removing diseased and weak branches and crossed branches to maintain good ventilation and light.
5. Disease and pest control: Grapes are susceptible to diseases and pests. It is necessary to observe them in a timely manner and control diseases and pests promptly. Biological pesticides or low-toxicity pesticides can be sprayed.
