You can plant the plant in early spring, before the start of sap flow or in late autumn.
The pit is dug 70x80 cm and up to 70 cm deep. Organic fertilizer is poured to the bottom. A seedling is installed and watered abundantly with water, at room temperature. This will speed up the survival rate.
All surface roots are buried in, sprinkled with a nutritious soil mixture so that they do not die and do not destroy the entire bush. In the first years of life, seedlings need such a procedure especially. The young plant has not yet matured, and in the first frosts it can freeze. Drought also adversely affects bare young roots, dries them out. It is better to deepen the surface roots into the soil in the summer in the morning, before the onset of heat.

Organic and mineral fertilizers are applied under the grapes together with watering 3 times per season.In summer and spring, Biopon is used, which contains a lot of nitrogen. Nitrogen stimulates the growth of vines and foliage. From the second decade of June, potash-phosphorus fertilizers are introduced into the root zone. They are diluted in water or scattered with granules before watering. For a stable harvest, compost is applied every 2 years.
Pruning
Pruning is essential for proper bush formation and good fruiting. In the spring, shoots are removed so that no more than 25-30 eyes remain on the bush. Dried branches are pruned in late autumn, in pre-winter preparation.
