LIVE Cascade Hops Starter Vine / Plant [Homebrewing]

🌱 For the folks that want the MOST AFFORDABLE option to start a Hops Garden! The Cascade Hops Starter Vine/Plant is a GREAT DEAL!
These will require more attention and more time to get you to the luxurious "Trellissed Hops Biergarten" that you may have been dreaming of but it is MUCH easier than ordering hops rhizomes and hoping for the best. 🌱

You will receive your Cascade hops starter vine in individual moistened packaging suited for shipping and within a very short time you should plant it in a very large well draining pot or in well draining soil in the ground in its designated area. If any roots have grown through the grow pouch then plant the entire grow pouch without disturbing the roots to avoid transplant shock. They become very well rooted after only one season. It will be challenging to move if planted in the ground. If you are unsure of exactly where to plant it in the ground, planting it in a large pot may make it easier for you to prefect your final planting location by the next season.

It is very easy to grow hops and they grow well both in the ground or in large pots with good drainage.
You will need some type of trellis or strong strings to support these fast growing vines.
The vines make a beautiful addition to any garden. They make a lovely canopy when grown over a pergola and the fragrance of the hops are fresh and citrusy.
If you are a gardener, home beer brewer or an entertainer of friends and family then you will be the talk of the town with your own Cascade hops vines gracing your gardens, decks, patios and arbors.

Planting:
It’s best to choose a sunny spot for your hops plants. You’ll also need a means of support as they grow. Hops plants climb as they get bigger, and many people construct wire supports, which allows the hops plants to curl upward. This is recommended as some vines can grow well over twenty feet long.
It’s best to plant your vines at least three feet apart. Plants will grow exceedingly fast at first, with plants sometimes growing a foot per day. It’s best to do your planting once frost is no longer a concern. Take care when watering and fertilizing your plants; too much or too little can prove detrimental to your yield.
