Presentation

Grapevine bonsai (Vitis vinifera) 29 cm tall, with a trunk that rises straight from the pot and then bends sharply to the left, carrying the whole canopy on one side only.

How to care for it

The vine wants to stay outside all year round, in a sunny spot: from May to August the broad leaves transpire a great deal and the 14 cm pot dries out quickly, so it should be checked every day and watered as soon as the substrate loses moisture at the surface. In winter it loses its leaves completely and watering must be reduced, keeping the root ball just damp; with this species we recommend sheltering the pot from prolonged frost.

Frequently asked questions

Will I receive exactly the grapevine bonsai in the photo?

Yes, the photo shows the specimen that will be sent. As it is a living plant, the foliage may look different on delivery: the vine drops its leaves in winter and the canopy changes after maintenance pruning or pinching.

How much space does it take up once placed?

The square pot measures 14 x 14 cm at the rim and is 19 cm tall, while the plant reaches 29 cm. The canopy, however, extends sideways beyond the edge of the pot, so allow a clear base at least 40 cm wide. Total weight is 3.5 kg.

Can it be kept indoors?

No. The vine is a deciduous outdoor plant and needs its winter rest at real seasonal temperatures. A balcony, terrace or garden are the right places; indoors it cannot complete its cycle and weakens within a few months.
