How to Propagate a Grapevine from Store Bought Grapes

Reviewed by Ben Barkan

Even a kid can grow a grape vine with this easy and fast way. All you need is a bag of grapes with the grapevine still intact and a cup of water.

Steps

You can buy whichever type of grape you want.
Look for some grapes with a long green vine.

Remove the grapes from the vine until there is only the vine left.
- If the vine is less than 4 inches (10cm) in length, or black in color, then don't use it.
4
Cut off the rotten or dried out parts of the vine.
- If it is brown, black, or, red, then it is rotten.
- If it is bright green and shriveled up, it is too dried out.
5
Fill a clear plastic cup with water. Put the vine inside it.
- In less than 2 days, it should look healthier.
- In about 4 days, it should start growing little roots.
6
Fill a planting pot with dirt. Plant the grapevine in the soil once the roots have grown.
- A disposable cup can be used in place of a planting pot.
Keep it in a sunny location.
Once the plant is too big for the pot, remove it from the small pot and move the plant to a sunny area outdoors or in a greenhouse.

If the bag of grapes doesn't have any vines, don't buy it.

Keep the vine from light for at least 48 hours to aid in root growth. There's very little photosynthesis going on when it's just a stem so it'll do the plant no harm.
