*Don't know if this is the place for this Post...maybe under Chit-Chat would have been better...BUT...here goes.

Took some twigs off of some grape plants in Oct...[That's late fall in the North] Potted into *community pots [*more than one plant per pot]in moist potting mix and let them sit under fluorescent lights covered with a plastic bags for about 2 months. Removed plastic bag a couple weeks ago when leaves were healthy and growing.

Time to 'pot-up' [a gardening term here]

Here is a shot of the roots that had developed.

This is an individual plant with new roots.

These are just 48" Cool White florescent bulbs. Keep your plants very close to the cool bulbs.

Living up North it will be a long time before these plants can get moved outdoors. You people who are lucky to live in the South can do this now, or at the first sight of buds on your grapes or Mescadines...you can do this too...you have nothing to loose and only more plants to gain.
Have fun!!!
