The balcony of the home can be said to be a good place, not only to dry clothes, but also to grow flowers and vegetables. Even as long as the area is large enough, it is possible to plant some fruits. Recently, a netizen private message Xiaobian said that she wanted to plant grapes on the balcony, I have to say that her idea is very creative, wait until the summer can sit on the balcony to eat grapes, want to eat as much as you want, more than enjoy!
But if you want to grow grapes on the balcony, every process is very elaborate. The first step is to choose the pot, because the grapes grow faster, the root system is also more, the pot can not be selected too small, the diameter of about 1.5 feet is almost the same, and must choose a good breathability, the big bucket at home is also OK.
The second step is cuttings, their own cultivation of grape seedlings will take a long time, so usually we will choose the way of cuttings, the method is also very simple, we can choose a section of grape branches from a vine, note that there are at least two nodes on this branch, cut it and immediately soak it with rooting water, and then insert it into the bottle, and finally bury the bottle together in the pot.
Pay attention to placing it in a ventilated place at home, avoid exposing it to the sun, water appropriately every day, keep the soil moist, and after about a month, a lot of roots will grow. At this time, it is necessary to move the pot in time, and the young plants that have sprouted are moved from the bottle into the pot, otherwise it is easy to rot the root phenomenon.
The third step is to start fertilizing, the grapes do not need to be fertilized at the beginning of planting, wait until it begins to grow leaves can be fertilized once a week, as it grows larger, the number of fertilization can also increase, of course, the soil in the pot should also be often loose, otherwise it is easy not to breathe, and it can grow vines without fertilization.
In addition, planting grapes is also very exquisite, less watering in spring and autumn, to ensure that the soil is moist. Summer temperature is relatively high, water evaporation is fast, every morning and evening to water once, as for the winter only need to sprinkle some water on the leaves is OK, each time the amount of watering should also be controlled.
For planting plants, in addition to water, there is also light is also very important, and the vine is like light, usually must be placed in a place with sufficient light, those light is not good shade of the balcony is not able to grow grapes well.
The fourth step is to set up a shelf, in order not to let the grape vines crawl all over the balcony, even crazy can climb to the neighbor's house. It is still necessary to build a shelf, just a few wooden sticks and let the vines climb up the top. Of course, if you really don't want to build, you can also pull the vines to the anti-theft window of the balcony.
In fact, it is not too difficult to grow grapes on the balcony at home, now this time to plant just right, wait until the next summer to harvest a bunch of large and sweet grapes, eat can not finish, you do not want to try?
