Generally, a fully trellised mature vine on a hot day in the Central Valley requires about 8 to 10 gallons (30.3 to 37.9 l) of water per day. Vines that are less vigorous or untrel¬lised require 6 to 8 gallons (22.7 to 30.3 l) of water per vine per day. People also ask, how do you grow grapevines from cuttings? Cuttings about 4-6 inches long should be taken during the late spring until late summer from healthy grape vines. All but a single leaf is removed to minimize water loss. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant the greenwood cutting in potting soil. Keep your plant in a warm, humid environment.How many grape vines do I need?Allow three bunches of grapes on three-year-old vines and about five on a four-year-old vine – slightly more if growing well.
