Growing grapes from seeds is very easy step by step

Summary

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to grow grapes from seeds, starting with selecting high-quality seeds from large, seeded grape varieties such as Redglobe USA. It covers key stages, including removing the seeds, soaking them to test their quality, and preparing them for germination. The video explains how to stimulate seed growth using a homemade onion extract, and the two methods of sowing the seeds: using tissue or directly in planting media. It emphasizes the importance of using clean water and proper care for successful germination and plant growth.

Takeaways

• 😀 Start by choosing grapes with seeds, especially large fruits, as they tend to have better properties for growing.
• 😀 Remove the seeds from the fruit carefully, ensuring they are brown and large for better quality seeds.
• 😀 Avoid using green or underdeveloped seeds as they are less likely to grow successfully.
• 😀 Choose grapes from reliable sources, such as USA or Peruvian Redglobe grapes, for better quality and taste.
• 😀 Growing grapes from seeds can still result in fruit-bearing plants, though it takes longer than growing from cuttings.
• 😀 Grapes grown from seeds may have better root systems and improved plant traits, like resilience and flavor.
• 😀 Some seeds might not develop well, so it's important to select only viable seeds from the fruit.
• 😀 Soak the seeds in water for 1-2 hours, discarding any seeds that float as they are of poor quality.
• 😀 Cut the pointed tip of the seed slightly to aid the shoot in breaking out as it begins to grow.
• 😀 Use an onion extract to soak the seeds, as it stimulates sprout and root growth effectively.
• 😀 After soaking, wash the seeds thoroughly to remove any residue from the onion extract to prevent fungal growth.

Q & A

What is the first step in growing grapes from seeds?

The first step is to provide grapes with seeds. Choose large-sized fruits, as they usually have better properties for growing.

Why is it important to choose large-sized grapes?

Large-sized grapes generally have better seed quality, which leads to better plant traits and better chances of successful growth.

What should be done after removing seeds from the grapes?

After removing the seeds from the grapes, they should be sorted to ensure they are brown and large, as these are the seeds most likely to grow.

What is the significance of the color of the seeds?

Brown seeds are considered good for planting, while green seeds may not develop well because they are often immature, potentially due to the use of growth regulators like GA3 in grape farming.

What does it mean if a seed floats during soaking?

If a seed floats during soaking, it indicates poor quality. Floating seeds do not contain the necessary institutional chips for growth.

How should good seeds be soaked?

Good seeds should be soaked in water for 1-2 hours, ensuring that only the seeds that sink are selected for planting.

Why is it important to cut the tapered tip of the seed?

Cutting the tapered tip of the seed helps the shoot or embryo break through more easily during growth, but it should be done carefully to avoid damaging the seed's contents.

What is the purpose of soaking seeds in warm water with onion extract?

Soaking seeds in warm water with onion extract stimulates the growth of sprouts and helps in the development of the roots, acting as a growth stimulant.

Why must the seeds be thoroughly washed after soaking in onion water?

The seeds must be thoroughly washed to remove any remaining onion extract, as it can lead to fungal growth if not cleaned properly.

What are the two methods for sowing grape seeds?

The two methods for sowing grape seeds are sowing with tissue (using a wet tissue in a jar) and direct sowing in planting media (like polybags). Both methods are effective.

What is the advantage of sowing grape seeds directly in polybags?

The advantage of sowing seeds directly in polybags is that the germinated plants do not need to be transplanted, which reduces the risk of failure during the transfer process.

How long does it typically take for grape plants to have four leaves after sowing?

It usually takes about a month and a half for the grape plant to develop four leaves after sowing the seeds.
