Don’t you just love to eat grapes in a sunny afternoon. To me they always seem to taste the best when you are lying in the shade after working hard.

You can grow your own grapes starting with just seeds that comes from grapes that you buy in the supermarket. But just so you know.. Traditionally grape vines comes from cuttings and not from seeds. Cuttings are a part of a plant that is already known to produce grapes. This part is treated with growth hormones in order to develop roots and to start growing. Getting a fruit from grape vines that comes from seeds are a bit more difficult but it can be done if you follow the correct steps.

After you have read this article you will know how to grow grapes from seeds in 5 simple steps. It’s an easy process so lets get started.

1. The first step is to extract the grape seeds from the berry and it’s pretty easy. Just slice the berries in half and extract the seeds on a paper towel. Let the seeds air dry for about a day.
 
2. The second step is to expose the seeds for a low temperature treatment called “Stratification”. To do this: simply place your seeds on a wet paper towel, or peat moss in the refrigerator for about 60 – 90 days. The temperature should be around 1 – 2 degrees Celsius, or 35 – 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. After the stratification it’s time to plant the seeds in small seed pots. Use a special seed growing soil that is low on nutrients. This will allow the plant to grow faster and stronger. 1 seed per pot and don’t plant the seeds to deep. About 1 cm, or half an inch is fine. Place the seed pots warm. 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) is required in order for the seeds to germinate. It should take about 1 – 2 weeks before the seeds have sprouted.

4. When the small sprouts have grown to about two inches (5 cm) then it’s time to replant them in a bigger pot. The bigger pot should have different soil which has more nutrition than the first soil.

5. You should let the plants grow indoors for about 12 months before you consider putting it outside. Under the 12-month period then be sure to water the plant and place it in warm temperature. If it grows big, then replant it to a bigger pot for more room.

When it’s time to plant the grape vine outside then I recommend you to get help because it’s very tricky and you have to get it exactly right. 1 mistake and you could be without grapes no matter how hard you try.
