The choice of planting material
Experienced gardeners recommend that beginners take cuttings and seedlings from those who made them from their vines and are professionally engaged in the production of such material.
You can evaluate the quality by cutting off a small amount of bark. When growing a bush from a cuttings and observing the rules of agricultural technology, survival rate is about 90%, the high quality of the plant is practically guaranteed. It is possible to control the development of grapes at all stages.
Subject to the rules of agricultural technology, survival rate is about 100%. The seedlings must be healthy. Pay attention to the absence of blisters, growths, or other signs of disease.

Growing features

To grow a healthy, vigorous and prolific plant, you need to know about several nuances of its cultivation.

Landing

Natalie grape seedlings are planted in spring. In the southern territories, you can plant a crop in mid-March - early April. In cold regions, the bushes are planted in May. The earlier the grapes are planted, the more intensively they will develop. In winter, the culture cannot be planted, as low temperatures can harm it.

It is important to choose the right place and soil. It is best to find an area with plenty of sun and protection from strong winds. You cannot choose a place where an old bush of a different variety was previously located.

The soil should be sandy, clayey or black earth. It is prepared in advance with peat and humus in the fall.

Landing features
In order for the vine to give a signal harvest after 3 years, it is necessary to take into account many factors - from the type of soil on the site to the nearby plants.

Pollination

The flowers are bisexual, which means they do not require additional pollinators.

Pruning

There are several guidelines for pruning.

The slices should be facing the inside of the bush. This will allow the plant to heal wounds much faster.

Slices are performed in 1 movement. It is important that their surface is flat.

In the process of pruning, you should try not to damage the perennial shoots.

The arrows that are left for fruiting must be intact.

In the autumn period, arrows are revealed that are not capable of bearing fruit.They are removed, as they will pull out the elements necessary for formation and development from the bush.

Pruning is one of the main grape care procedures. Depending on the purpose of pruning and the type of plant, the appropriate type of formation is selected.

Watering

To facilitate and improve the watering process, it is necessary to place the pipe in the hole before planting. The distance between it and the cuttings should be about 25-30 cm. The first end should be located at the level of the drain, the second should protrude 10-15 cm above the soil. The pipe diameter can be 8-10 cm.

This method of watering is good because moisture will penetrate directly to the roots. Under normal climatic conditions, it is necessary to water the crop once every few weeks. A sparse but abundant watering will keep the grapes healthy and strong, while frequent watering encourages weeds.

Irrigation schemes
In order for the berries to be large and juicy, it is necessary to organize full watering and feeding. All standards must be adjusted for weather conditions and the rate of evaporation of the liquid.
With a frequent watering scheme, it is recommended to moisturize once every two weeks (that is, twice a month during flowering and the appearance of berries) so that the earth is saturated 50 cm deep so that the plant does not switch to superficial (dew) roots. This amount can be reduced by mulching the crop with straw.
With a rare irrigation scheme, choosing the age and maturation of the grapes, you can use the standards presented in the table in another article.
