   Fill a clear plastic cup with water. Put the vine inside it.

   • In less than 2 days, it should look healthier.
   • In about 4 days, it should start growing little roots.
6. 6

   Fill a planting pot with dirt. Plant the grapevine in the soil once the roots have grown.

   • A disposable cup can be used in place of a planting pot.
7. 7

   Keep the growing vine watered so that the soil is moist but not water logged. Keep it in a sunny location.

8. 8

   Transfer your new grapevine when it appears large enough to place in the garden or a larger container. Once the plant is too big for the pot, remove it from the small pot and move the plant to a sunny area outdoors or in a greenhouse.

9. 9

   Keep growing it and in a few months, you just might be able to eat the grapes!
