Gardeners are curious about any kind of seeds, and grapes are a commonly eaten fruit. Some gardeners ask how to plant grape seeds. Although the main method of grape propagation is cutting, seed propagation is also possible, but it cannot completely maintain the excellent traits of the original variety.
Planting grape seeds can be simple or complex. The simple version is to just throw them into the soil, and they will germinate on their own (the legend of planting willows without intention). Let's mainly talk about the complex version, which involves collecting grape seeds, removing the seed coat juice with clean water, and drying them in the shade before storing them in a low-temperature, dry environment.
The sowing time for grape seeds can be early spring, March to April (gardeners with a trial mindset can choose their own time). Two months before sowing, mix the seeds with 3 to 4 times the amount of clean river sand and store them under suitable temperature, humidity, and air conditions. Generally, grape seeds need to be stored in low temperatures of -3°C to 5°C and in moist sand with water content within 5%, completing the after-ripening stage in about 60 days.
During the sand storage period, it is important to check the temperature and humidity inside the sand and whether there is any rodent damage. Especially after the Spring Festival, as temperatures continue to rise, if the temperature exceeds 5°C and the humidity exceeds 10%, turn the seeds over 1 to 2 times to prevent molding.
The method of sowing is the same as sowing other seeds, with no special instructions. What needs to be mentioned here is that it takes about 3 years for grape seeds to bear fruit, and the quality is generally reduced, such as poor taste, susceptibility to diseases, and so on. Therefore, for gardeners who want to plant grapes, it is recommended to buy good-quality seedlings rather than relying on grape seeds, as 3 years is a long time.
