- 1). Choose your location. All grapevines need plenty of sun exposure with good temperatures to be successful. If you already have a grape trellis with successful grapevines, plant your new grapevines at the end of that row, so you can elongate and use the existing trellis.
- 2). Prepare your soil. Grape vines need a quick-draining, porous soil. Combine equal parts potting soil with gravel to construct an ideal soil.
- 3). Cut a section of cane from one of your older vines. Make sure the section you cut has buds on it, so that it can grow new vines. The cane will take root from the bottom when you plant it.
- 4). Dig holes for your new grapevines. Holes for new vines should be spaced at 6 to 8 feet for optimal growth and be just wide and deep enough for the ends of your grapevine canes (a couple inches in diameter and three inches deep). Fill the holes halfway with your potting soil to ensure good drainage for your vines.
- 5). If your bud doesn't yet have roots, bury what will be the root end of the cane. Add a thin layer of your potting soil and then water. Add a fertilizer or grapevine food (available at nurseries). Always follow manufacturer directions when using fertilizer.
