I have had great results in propagating new vines directly from the main vines by placing a live vine into a pot of soil and leaving a foot or two of the end grow out of the pot. By lightly cutting the vine that sits in the soil, new roots have grown. I then cut the old away from the pot and plant the newer end elsewhere.
I have just worked with a Concord (2 months in pot) and a Catawba (1 month in pot) and may have a problem. Immediately after cutting away the feeding vine, the newer end wilted. The Catawba had a good root growth while the Concord had one root showing.
My question is...should I wait and see what happens or give up on these two?
I transplanted both into two other containers in order to give them to another gardener to plant.
Any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you, Roy Yerkes Oak Lawn, Ill.
