Water: After sprouting, fertilize and irrigate wine grape 'Fragola'. Regularly check soil moisture at 20cm depth; less water is needed before and after flowering. Water every 10-12 days during fruit expansion, then reduce to prevent cracking. For potted wine grape 'Fragola', keep slightly dry on the surface and water twice daily in hot weather.

Fertilize: Wine grape 'Fragola' requires proper nutrient management before planting. For deficiencies, apply phosphate (0-45-0), potassium sulfate, or Epsom salts as needed. Fertilize sparingly in the second year during budding with 10-10-10. Organic fertilizers are best in winter; zinc and boron are crucial during flowering.

Pruning: Pruning wine grape 'Fragola' in early spring enhances air circulation and sunlight access, promoting healthy growth and disease resistance. Remove weak wood and cut back vigorous shoots to shape the plant and support fruit production. Pinching young shoots boosts yields, facilitating better fruit quality and overall plant health.

Propagation: The primary propagation method for wine grape 'Fragola' involves hardwood cuttings taken at winter's end, 50 cm (20 in) long and pencil-thick. Cuttings should be 3 cm (1.2 in) from the top bud, stored in wet soil. Once rooted, seedlings can be transplanted in spring.
