Grapevines of the genus Vitis are deciduous woody climbers. Their permanent framework carries new shoots, leaves and tendrils each year. Here you will find instructions for this fertiliser and plant knowledge covering training systems, flowering and grape development.
For grapevines of the genus Vitis in the ground or containers. Cultivar, rootstock and training system determine further cultivation.
Usual period April–August. Apply every one to two weeks during the growing season.
After planting or repotting, account for pre-fertilisation in the compost. If roots are dry or damaged, address growing conditions first.
Application in one place
Enter the amount of water actually required. Optionally, the height and lateral width of one leafy vine provide a rough guide for root watering. The dilution remains the same regardless of the training system.
1 capful = 5 ml. Use a suitable measuring aid for smaller partial amounts.
Enter a water amount from 0.1 to 1,000 litres.
A rough guide for root watering of one leafy vine, not for spraying. Measure height from soil level and lateral width, not tendril length, a single leaf or an entire trellis row. If vines cannot be clearly distinguished, enter the actual water quantity directly; also check soil, root-ball moisture and weather.
General GREEN24 guide: height (m) × width (m) × 3–4 litres. Centimetres are converted to metres. The concentrate amount follows this fertiliser’s standard dilution. The estimate does not measure individual water requirements.
Use a clean watering can or sprayer; preferably low-lime water or rainwater at 15–25 °C.
Select the required water quantity in the calculator. The standard dilution also applies when using the size guide.
Start by filling the container with part of the chosen water volume.
Shake the bottle. 1 capful = 5 ml; use a measuring aid for smaller partial amounts.
Add the calculated amount of concentrate to the water.
Top up to the chosen water volume and mix well. Watering or spraying: see below.
When to feed? Apply every one to two weeks during the growing season. Usual application period: April–August. Account for existing nutrients and the pre-fertilisation of fresh growing medium.
Distribute the mixture in the previously moistened root zone. For container vines, consider the root ball and free drainage. For vines in the ground, also account for soil moisture and the root zone actually established.
Moisten both leaf surfaces finely in the morning, evening or under overcast skies; avoid open flowers. Foliar feeding belongs to the same feeding plan as root application, not automatically on top of it.
Net mass: 293 g for 250 ml; 1172 g for 1 litre.

Declared nutrient percentages. Product pH: 6.8.
Pre-fertilised soil and fertiliser already in the root ball contribute to the nutrient supply. Each of the four care products listed below can be mixed with our liquid fertiliser. When applying them together, follow both products’ specific instructions; conflicting or stricter directions take precedence. Do not mix undiluted concentrates.
Our Grapevine Fertiliser can be mixed individually with Schädlings-Frei Organic, Trauermückenfrei Organic, KIRON Milben-Ex or Rosen Pilz-Frei BOCCACIO. This covers fertiliser plus one product, not approval for every grapevine application. Follow the crop, location and pre-harvest intervals in both sets of instructions.

The water-soluble nutrients are diluted with water. For grapevines, application is intended through the root zone and onto existing vine leaves.
All nutrients are water-soluble. In the fully diluted mixture, they are available for feeding through roots and leaves.
Copper, iron, manganese and zinc are declared as EDTA chelates. This binding helps keep these trace nutrients available in solution.
The buffer system helps regulate the pH of the finished watering or spraying solution. The source water also influences the resulting value.
Good wetting and adherence help distribute the spray solution across the leaves. Dissolved nutrients are then available at the leaf surface for uptake.
The formulation helps reduce adverse hard-water effects and deposits on the leaves. Low-lime water or rainwater provides a good starting point.
Use the plant-compatible formulation at the specified dilution. For grapevines, a well-drained root zone, light and the existing nutrient supply form part of application planning.
Nutrients support leaf formation and metabolism. Leaf finish means the appearance of well-kept foliage, not a glossy coating. Vine leaves produce sugars using light; grape development also depends on cultivar, weather and cultivation.
Chelation can reduce troublesome effects of water hardness; calcium and magnesium are not removed from the water. The product pH of 6.8 describes the concentrate, not the soil. The source water affects the pH of the finished mixture; no fixed target value is promised.
Use clean, suitable watering or spraying equipment. Measure the water and calculated concentrate quantity carefully.
The grapevine through the seasons
Leaves, tendrils and flower clusters grow on the current season’s shoots. Grape clusters can develop from the small flowers. Cultivar, training system and position shape the vine’s appearance.

The perennial framework remains while new shoots and leaves grow. Leaves produce sugars for the plant; roots and vascular tissues connect the supply of water and nutrients.
The alternate leaves are usually palmately lobed with toothed margins. Their surfaces use light for photosynthesis. Size, lobing and autumn colour differ by species and cultivar.
The small greenish flowers grow in branched clusters. Many cultivated grape varieties are self-fertile, but this does not apply without exception to every species and cultivar. Cool, wet weather during flowering can affect fruit set.
Berry colour, size, skin and seeds depend on the cultivar. Light and warmth also influence ripening. Harvest table grapes when ripe for their cultivar: berries do not become sweeter after picking.

Observe the arrangement of leaves, young shoots and grape clusters. An orderly framework keeps the fruiting zone accessible. Do not suddenly remove all its leaves: previously shaded berries can suffer sunburn.
Roots, vine wood and leaf surfaces
Fine roots absorb water and dissolved nutrients from soil or growing medium. Vine leaves use light to produce sugars for growth and grape development. Perennial wood and current-season shoots connect the root zone, leaves and fruit clusters through their vascular tissues. Nitrogen is needed for proteins and chlorophyll, phosphorus participates in energy transfer, and potassium in water regulation. Cultivar, light, warmth and shoot arrangement also shape the vine’s development.
Fine roots obtain water and dissolved nutrients. In grafted vines, the rootstock forms the root system and helps determine soil suitability. A well-drained root zone and suitable moisture are important both in the ground and in containers.
Leaves supply growing shoots and grape clusters with sugars they produce. Leaf shape and autumn colour differ by cultivar. An airy, orderly canopy distributes light and makes both leaf surfaces easier to inspect.
Grape clusters form on the current season’s green shoots, mainly from buds on the previous year’s wood. This differs from the permanent framework. Guyot and cordon systems use different pruning methods; pruning length and bud number are chosen for cultivar, vigour and training system.
The small flowers can develop into fruit clusters containing many berries. Table and wine-grape cultivars differ in features including size, skin and seeds. Ripening time and colouring depend on cultivar and growing conditions.
Understanding plant feeding
The grapevine connects perennial wood with new shoots produced each year. Its leaves use light to produce sugars for growth and grape development. Absorbing root regions obtain water and dissolved nutrients from the ground or container. Vascular tissues run through vine wood and young shoots to the above-ground plant. This fertiliser can also be applied to existing vine leaves; both routes belong to the same feeding plan. The stations show uptake and transport as a functional diagram.
Select a point in the picture or choose a stage.
Stage 01 / 04
In pre-moistened soil, the diluted mixture meets fine root areas. Dissolved nutrients are available for uptake at the contact surface.
Good to knowAlways dilute the concentrate and keep to the stated dosage.
Watering carries dissolved nutrients into the growing medium around the roots. Contact with the absorbing root surfaces is the first step.
Stage 02 / 04
Fine root hairs increase contact with the soil. Transport proteins in cell membranes help take up dissolved nutrients.
Good to knowRoots take up nutrients; they do not simply absorb all the fertiliser along with the water.
Root hairs increase the contact area. Transport proteins in cell membranes enable mineral ions to enter; water movement and nutrient uptake are distinct processes.
Stage 03 / 04
Root cells regulate individual uptake steps. The plant is not simply flushed through with the entire contents of the watering solution.
Good to knowMore fertiliser does not automatically mean better nutrition.
Controlled steps within root tissue lie between the root surface and onward transport. Transport across cell membranes enables nutrient uptake; water movement and nutrient uptake are different processes.
Stage 04 / 04
Water and absorbed nutrients can move through the xylem to above-ground parts. Healthy roots and active leaves are part of this process.
Good to knowHealthy roots and suitable growing conditions are important for nutrient supply.
After entering the vascular tissue, nutrients can travel with the water stream in the xylem towards the shoot. Uptake and nutrient supply also depend on root health and growing conditions.
Stage 01 / 04
Distribute the diluted mixture finely over both leaf surfaces. Apply in the morning, evening or under overcast skies and avoid open flowers.
Good to knowThis Grapevine Fertiliser is also suitable for foliar application. Use only when diluted and include the application in the overall feeding plan.
Foliar feeding places diluted nutrient solution on the leaf surface. Wetting depends on factors including the leaf surface and the solution.
Stage 02 / 04
Dissolved nutrients can cross the protective surface layer; routes involving small leaf openings may also contribute. Conditions and leaf characteristics affect uptake.
Good to knowDifferent leaves do not absorb a nutrient solution equally well.
Dissolved nutrients can pass through the protective cuticle; pathways involving stomata may also contribute. Their relative importance varies with plant species and conditions.
Stage 03 / 04
After crossing the surface, living leaf cells can take up nutrients and use them in metabolism. A visible droplet alone does not demonstrate this step.
Good to knowA droplet on a leaf does not yet mean its nutrients have been absorbed.
After crossing the surface, nutrients can be taken up by living leaf cells. The amount depends on factors including the nutrient, formulation and environmental conditions.
Stage 04 / 04
Nutrients may be used in the leaf or redistributed depending on the nutrient. This does not imply immediate, uniform nutrition of all fruit.
Good to knowFoliar feeding does not mean every nutrient immediately reaches the whole plant.
Absorbed nutrients can be used within the leaf. Whether and how far they move to other plant parts depends on the nutrient and the plant's condition.
Development influences requirements
After planting, root contact and establishing a suitable framework are priorities. Guide new shoots loosely and account for nutrients already present in the growing medium. No separate young-plant dosage stage is specified for this fertiliser.
Buds open in spring; leaf surfaces, flower clusters and potentially grapes develop later. Young growth is more sensitive to late frost than the woody framework. Guide summer shoots in an orderly way and keep the fruiting zone accessible.
Grapevines shed their leaves and enter dormancy. Do not continue the summer feeding programme then. Protect container roots from severe cold and avoid complete drying; match pruning to the training system.
Consider growth, roots, weather and existing nutrients together. Plant size does not change the dilution or measure individual water demand.
Application & calculator →Your growing conditions matter
A sunny, warm position and a strong support provide the foundation. Soil, containers and different training systems change the available root space and the distribution of light and shoots. Cultivar and rootstock are chosen to suit position and climate.
Use a sufficiently large container with free drainage. Check root-ball moisture regularly and account for pre-fertilisation. Container vines also need a sturdy support; on grafted plants, keep the graft union above the soil.
Provide well-drained soil, warmth and a suitable rootstock. Water young vines according to need during dry conditions. Beneath roof overhangs, rain may miss the root zone; check soil moisture there directly.
Distinguish the permanent framework from annual fruiting shoots. Secure young shoots loosely and keep leaves and grape clusters accessible. Pruning follows the cultivar and training system, not a universal rule for every vine.
The structure must support the spreading vine. Arrange shoots so care and fruit inspection remain possible. For the size calculator, use only one clearly distinguishable plant; an entire covered pergola is not one plant’s width.
Grapevine growing medium and the matching repotting set support container cultivation. Existing pre-fertilisation forms part of the total nutrient supply and is considered when supplementary feeding begins.
Pre-fertilised grapevine growing medium for container cultivation. Begin supplementary feeding after around four to six weeks, accounting for the existing nutrient supply.
The repotting set contains grapevine growing medium and fertiliser. Include the supplied fertiliser in the overall feeding plan.
Understand plant care problems
Pale leaves, deposits, wilting shoots and damaged grape clusters have different causes. Examine both leaf surfaces, the root zone, weather and the course of flowering. Increasing fertiliser concentration does not replace this assessment.
Record whitish coatings or unusual spots on both leaf surfaces. These are different diseases; variety choice, airflow and reliable diagnosis come before treatment.
Inspect dense, injured or persistently damp grape clusters. Remove affected berries and dried fruit remains without unnecessarily injuring sound grapes.
Leaf galls, webbing or feeding damage call for closer identification. Seek specialist advice if phylloxera is suspected; choosing a suitable rootstock starts when buying the vine.
Young shoots may wilt after late frost, while suddenly exposed berries can scorch. With yellow leaves, also assess moisture and roots; not every colour change requires more feed.
This information helps us assess leaf development, shoot growth and changes in grape clusters:
Leaf changes alone do not establish a particular nutrient deficiency. Use only fruit from edible grape cultivars and identify the plant reliably; Vitis is not interchangeable with other climbing plants. Keep grapes and raisins inaccessible to dogs.
These four care products can each be mixed individually with our liquid Grapevine Fertiliser.
