Wild wine - easily multiply via cuttings or sinkers
Basically, a single plant of the also known as "Wild Wine" virgin beech (Parthenocissus) to a house wall, a fence o. Ä. Over time to completely greening - the plants can in good conditions more than 12 meters high and several Meters wide. For this reason, Wilder wine should also be planted with a distance of at least two meters, so that the individual copies do not have to compete unnecessarily for space and nutrients. In addition, the scabbard reaches an age of 50 and more years. Ergo, there are not many reasons to grow wild wine - but sometimes it makes sense. We'll tell you how to do it best.

Cuttings of wild wine cut best in late summer or early fall (ie about the end of August / early September), as they are already fairly mature at this time. Choose this year's shoots with a length between 15 and 25 centimeters, whereby you should always remove any existing flowers and fruiting approaches. These rob the plant unnecessarily force, which they urgently needed for their rooting.
Winterize the plantlet frost-free, but cool at a maximum of 12 degrees Celsius. From about the middle of May to the end of May - after the ice saints - the young maiden vine can finally be planted outdoors.
Especially uncomplicated: Propagation over sinkers
Even easier to succeed in the propagation of lowering. These, in contrast to cuttings, not cut off, but remain until their successful rooting on the mother plant. To do this, bend a suitable shoot down to the ground, scratch it lightly and plant it directly into the ground. Complain the shoot with a stone or fix it with a wire, so that it does not slip out of its plant hole again. In addition, it makes sense to cover the Absenker over the winter with brushwood or foliage and so protect from the cold. In the following year, the now rooted shoot can be separated and planted separately directly into the open.
Tips
In contrast to the grapevine (Vitis vinifera) grown for the production of grapes and wine, Parthenocissus does not need to be refined. In any case, the plant can not be used for fruit-growing purposes because its fruits are considered to be slightly toxic due to its content of oxalic acid.
