Water: Once a wine grape 'Regent' sprouts, fertilize and irrigate thoroughly. Maintain moisture 20cm below ground, watering every 10-12 days during fruit expansion. Reduce water as grapes color to prevent cracking. Water thoroughly post-harvest and before freezing. For potted wine grape 'Regent', keep soil moist but dryer on the surface.

Fertilize: For optimal growth of wine grape 'Regent', assess soil nutrients and apply appropriate fertilizers pre-planting. Address deficiencies with specific fertilizers: phosphate for phosphorus, potassium sulfate for potassium, and Epsom salts for magnesium. Fertilize minimally in the second year, while organic or chemical options are recommended after flowering. Monitor for potassium deficiency and apply zinc and boron before flowering.

Pruning: Wine grape 'Regent' thrives with regular early spring pruning, essential for removing dead or weak wood and thinning overcrowded areas. This practice enhances air circulation and sunlight exposure, improving fruit quality and yield while minimizing disease risk. Refer to horticultural guides for detailed techniques and region-specific advice.

Propagation: The primary propagation method for wine grape 'Regent' is hardwood cuttings taken at winter's end. Use branches 50 cm long and pencil-thick. Cut 3 cm from the top bud, and store in wet soil. Plant cuttings with the top bud exposed, water, and keep moist until rooted for spring transplantation.
