Grapevine propagation by layeringis relatively easy and is perfect for amateur garden cultivation. Grape seedlings obtained in this way will quickly grow into garden structures and bear tasty fruit. We advisewhen to propagate the vine by layeringand whattypes of layering from the grapevinewe can make. See how to properly reproduce the grapevine by layering!
Layouts are a simple way to multiply the grapevine

Vine propagation by layeringconsists in rooting the vane before its separation from the mother plant. In short, it is about covering the skeleton with soil, waiting for it to take root and separating it from the vine that grows in our garden.
Thisway to propagate grapevines is very simpleand especially recommended for beginner gardeners. Reproduction by layering can be done with regular, flat and so-called layering. dumps from the bush.
Grapevine propagation by simple laydown
Plain layering is a good way to replenish individual places next to already growing grapevinesBefore cutting the bushes in the fall or early spring, between the mother plant and the planting site, a deep groove is dug 40 cm wide. The bottom of the groove can be additionally filled with a 10 cm layer of compost.
After digging the groove, we select one low-lying strong shoot.The bed is placed at the bottom of the cavity, and its end is bent and led out above the soil surface in the desired placeThe above-ground part of the bed is cut, leaving 2 eyelets on it. The remaining buds are removed and the hollow filled with soil and trampled. The following year, after rooting, the young vine is cut from the mother bush.

Grapevine propagation by flat lay
Flat lay is used to reproduce difficult-to-root grape varietiesThe flat lay is also called the Chinese lay-up. Interestingly, this method of vine reproduction will allow us to obtain several new cuttings at a time. In spring, one or more strong shoots are selected on a shrub and arranged horizontally in grooves 15-20 cm deep. The buds at the base of the shoots that will not be covered with earth are removed. As the branches grow, the hollow fills with soil.In the fall, the dump is carefully excavated and cut into parts

Grapevine propagation by planting the bush
This method of vine multiplication is done in order to rejuvenate old, less fruiting plants A pit about 50 cm deep and wide is dug around the trunk. The undermined trunk is placed at the bottom of the cavity. The two skids are bent so that their ends are below the surface of the earth. Two buds are left on the above-ground parts of the shoots.
