[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[Dick Gross]

Beatrice, has anyone attempted to answer your inquiry? If not, tell me what kind and size pot the grape is in. Is it exposed to direct sun? what kind of a surface is it setting on now? It sounds like the roots are suffacating in a "too wet" environment without air. But that is only a guess. Grapes thrive in the desert if properly cared for. But, this plant should be in the ground.

One option; take the vine back to the seller and ask what the heck is wrong with it. Without a satisfactory answer, demand an exchange with instructions on planting and culture.

> Hello,
> 
> I have a new grape plant...about 3 months old...whose leaves are dropping and have gone yellow. It appears the plant is dying. 
> 
> What can I do to revive it? It's been against a whitewashed wall with an eastern exposure and it's in a pot, not in the ground.  Should I move it under the shade, keep it damp and/or plant it? Perhaps it's overheating in the pot?
