Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your plants in their 9 cm pots, it is best to transplant them into well-drained, fertile soil. If your soil is heavy clay, mix in organic matter to improve drainage. Ensure the vines are planted at the same depth they were in their nursery pots. As the vines grow, use soft ties to secure the main stems to a support structure. Water regularly during the first growing season, especially in dry spells. In late winter while the plant is dormant, prune the side shoots back to two or three buds to encourage fruit development for the upcoming season.
