I do the damp paper towel wrap most often, just wrapping it around the bottom of the plant where you need it to root. Sometimes even placing it into a small glass of water along with the paper towel. Put it in a shady place so the sun doesn't scorch it and don't move it if you don't have to. (Be sure if the sun does reach your grape vine that the leaves are not showing their underside, it will cause unneeded stress to the plant)



It should root for you within a few days or a week.



Have a willow nearby? Take a piece of willow and grind/cut it up and add to your water. This is a wonderful rooting trick! Or get some rooting compound at the store, dipping the stem into it and then wrapping with a paper towel, or putting it into water, or putting it into a 'rooting cube' you can buy at any plant store.



Once you see some healthy roots plant it in soil, don't be afraid to keep in water until yo have plenty of vigorous roots.
Reply:You might try this: Cut your branches into 6" section and use a rooting hormone on the thick end; then stick them in potting soil and vermiculite, keep them moist and they will root, giving you brand new plants. These are considered soft wood cuttings. I know a Master Gardener who has a vineyard he got from using this practice. Good luck!
Reply:Put it in water until roots begin to show. The more the better. Then plant it in soil.
Reply:1. wrap the bottom in damp paper towel. roots will begin to sprout.

2. put in dirt.
