How often should I water my vine plant?

I have two vine plants that I keep outside and I don't know how often I should water them. I have been doing it once a week but it is so hot out, maybe I should do it twice a week? Some of the leaves have been getting brown, other parts look really good though.

How often should I water my vine plant?
Depending on how hot it is and how much morning sun they get, you may want to water as much as four times a week. The best way to judge is to feel the soil and to check the leaves daily when it's hot. During the cooler months, once a week is probably okay. I have found that since moving to Florida, some of my plants need water daily. It depends on your temperature outside. Be careful of over-watering during cooler months. Some plants actullay decay and rot from too much. I had to learn the hard way that trailing petunias hate overly moist soil......Good luck:)
Reply:If some leaves are turning brown, put the vines in the shade. If leaves turn yellow, you're over-watering.
Reply:That would depend on where you live and your weather. I only water ours when it's really hot here in gorgeous Wales.



We have had grapes for two years running but they have not been soft enough yet to make wine.



They will look like brown twigs mid October. Please do not take this as a sign that it has died - it most certainly hasn't. It will come back to it's former glory next year when it gets warmer.



Good luck :-)
