Planting a potted fruit tree on the balcony is not bad, it's practical, can be seen and eaten, more substantial than growing flowers. If well-maintained, it can bear fruit every year. A friend has a potted grapevine that bore several clusters in the first year, but it grew more and more vigorously later, bearing a lot of fruit, and the grapes were very sweet and delicious. The management and cultivation methods of grapes are very simple, even easier than potted figs or blueberries. Whether it's a small balcony or a large terrace, you can grow one. Imagine, in the summer, picking delicious fruits next to your own grape tree at home is very pleasing.
How to determine if potted grapes have taken root
If the grape seedlings do not sprout after two months of planting, it is likely that the roots are damaged, affecting sprouting, or it may be planted late, affecting the sprouting time, or there may be issues in maintenance, leading to non-survival.
If you want to know whether the grape seedlings have survived, break a branch. If it feels brittle and breaks easily, it means it has dried up, with no moisture in the cross-section, and the branch has lost its vitality, making it difficult to sprout again. If the branch still has moisture, is flexible, not easy to break, and the cross-section is light green, it may have survived and will sprout in the fall.

Watering promptly during the growing period
Raising potted grapes on a balcony is different from planting them on the ground. On the ground, after the seedlings are watered, they can grow well even if not watered for many days. Since the soil volume in a pot is limited, it is necessary to water promptly. If your potted grape seedlings have not been watered for a long time, and the potting soil is excessively dry, it can also prevent them from growing smoothly.

The potting soil should be loose and fertile
It should not be compacted or infertile. If the potting soil is compacted, the roots will not grow well, or if there is too much waterlogging for too long, it can also lead to non-sprouting of the grape seedlings or even the inability to recover vitality. Once potted grapes have taken root, sprouted, and the roots are firmly established, passing the acclimatization stage, the maintenance becomes very simple.
It is recommended to plant grapes in spring and autumn
And it's best to use grapevines with soil clumps for planting, which are easier to survive. Or plant earlier in the spring, which is more conducive to their survival.

Planting a grapevine on the balcony is practical for eating and observing, more so than growing flowers. With a large pot and fertile soil, the fruit bends the branches!
