You can choose a ceramic pot with good breathability, and the potting soil should be rich in organic matter. Before grape buds sprout in spring, first bury the pots in the soil in rows at a spacing of about 35 cm, with the pot surface slightly lower than the ground. Gently pull down vines with plump buds and fruiting ability, with vine length no less than 80 cm, press them into the pot, fill with soil, and firm it down. Leave 4 to 5 plump buds above the potting soil, then insert a 120 cm long thin pole and tie the vines to it.

Because potted grapes are watered frequently, the potting soil easily becomes compacted, so loosen the soil often. Do not loosen the soil too deeply, and it is best not to damage the young roots. After covering the potting soil, it can preserve warmth and moisture in spring, and has a cooling effect in summer. Before budding in spring, cover the potting soil with plastic film to increase the potting soil temperature and promote root growth. When summer temperatures are too high, covering the pot surface with weeds, straw, leaves, etc. can not only lower the soil temperature and reduce water loss from the potting soil, but also help increase the organic matter in the pot.
