Water: After sprouting, kyoho Grape needs fertilization and thorough irrigation, then less water as long as soil 20cm below remains moist. Water every 10-12 days when fruit expands, reducing before ripening to prevent damage. For potted kyoho Grape, keep soil moist but surface dry, watering twice daily in heat.

Fertilize: Kyoho Grape requires careful nutrient management, with specific fertilizers for deficiencies: phosphate (0-45-0) for phosphorus, potassium sulfate for potassium, and Epsom salts for magnesium. Apply minimal fertilizer in the second year during budding, and organic options in winter. Zinc and boron are vital, needing timely applications before flowering.

Pruning: Kyoho Grape produces large, sweet grapes with vigorous growth. Yearly pruning in early spring maintains shape, promotes fruiting, and enhances air circulation. Key techniques include removing weak or overcrowded branches with clean cuts above a bud to encourage healthy shoot development.

Propagation: The primary propagation method for kyoho Grape involves hardwood cuttings taken at winter's end, measuring 50 cm (20 in) long. Cuttings should be slightly oblique, wrapped in wet soil, and refrigerated until thawed. Plant cuttings vertically, ensuring consistent moisture for successful rooting by spring.
