I received some wine grape cuttings from a nice fellow about 18 days ago. Then I put the cuttings in a 15 gallon deep pot with outdoor potting mix. The pot is stored in basement. The basement is relative dark and the temperature is about 55 to 60F.
Now I see the buds have start to swell. I do not know why the buds swell this early. I remember the last time I planted cuttings in December and it took more than 2 months to grow.
My concern is that, I do not think the cuttings have roots yet. So I do not want the top growth to exhaust the energy in the cuttings. The cuttings are very long, with at least three nodes. This is why I kept the cuttings in colder basement to slow down the top growth.
Anything I should change, or just keep it as is?
