Distractify | Don’t let cold or bad weather stop you from gardening any longer! You can grow all these fruits and veggies from inside your own home.
1. Red and White Grapes
Some varieties of grape vines (Vitis vinifera) grow well indoors, especially dessert grapes that require warm temperatures to ripen. Grapes grow well in a Mediterranean climate, and they do their best outdoors in USDA plant hardiness zones 6 through 9. Gardeners who live outside of these zones can grow grapes indoors in a greenhouse or warm and sunny room.
Many dessert grapes, including popular “Muscat of Alexandria” and “Black Hamburgh” grapes, grow well indoors. Other types of grapes can also grow indoors, and experts at the University of Vermont recommend using varieties that produce fruit close to the trunk for planting in pots.
Some varieties that do well in pots include “Early Muscat,” “Seyval,” “Canadice,” “Interlaken” and “Swenson Red.” The warm indoor temperatures help them ripen and become sweet.
Grape vines have deep roots, so they need somewhat large pots. In 5-gallon pots, grape plants will be able to support 10 to 15 clusters once they mature. In larger pots they will be able to support more. Grapes require soils with good drainage.
To prevent the roots from sitting in water, choose pots with plenty of drainage holes and place a layer of gravel in the bottom of the pot.
Grapes need full sunlight or light shade throughout the day. They will grow best when placed in a sunny greenhouse or next to a south-facing window indoors. In an indoor location without full sun, a plant light during the day can help ensure that grapes get enough light.
Put them near a brick wall, shelf or other support system that the vines can climb. (Homeguides)
