How to Care for the Plant

Water
These plants are known for being fairly hardy when it comes to experiencing drought or cold temperatures.
Pruning
To cane prune, select two to four new fruiting canes per vine. Cut back each of these to leave about 15 buds per cane. To spur prune, prune along main canes to leave two to three bud spurs, each 4 to 6 inches apart. Leave no more than 20 to 80 buds per plant depending on the type of grape. Prune in late winter when the vines are dormant. Do not prune during periods of severe frost or after the sap starts to rise.
Fertilizer
To improve their appearance, you should prune out any brown or yellow fronds.
