Grape Vine Training In A Greenhouse?

Grapevines can be grown in greenhouses, but they also thrive outdoors on walls, fences, or over arches. Proper training and pruning are crucial for grapevine management, especially in a greenhouse setting. Utilizing trellises or arbors to support vine growth and guide upward growth is the best method for training grapevines in a greenhouse. This method is suitable for outdoor grapes on walls, arches, and pergolas.

If limited space is available, grapevines can be grown in a container and trained into a compact form known as a standard. There are two planting methods: root planting outside against the wall of the greenhouse, and top training in through a small hole. The most popular method is planting the root outside against the wall of the greenhouse, while the roots can be planted in a border.

Growing grapevines best when roots are planted outside the greenhouse and the vine is trained into the greenhouse through gaps near ground level. This can be done by removing a brick in the bottom of the greenhouse and training it through, or using a hole in the top of the greenhouse. Grapevines need to be pruned when they are dormant, which is best during mid-winter.

The rod and spur training method is suitable for grapevines in a greenhouse, as well as outdoors against a wall or fence, or over an arch or pergola. By carefully pruning grapevines, they can guide them to grow and create an optimal environment with proper temperature and lighting.
