Here's the answer to your Plant Problem...

You asked:

How do I stop the pruning cuts on my my grape vine losing sap?

Our Advice:

Small cuts will dry and stop bleeding in a few days. Cover larger pruning cuts that are losing sap with freshly-cut slices of potato. The potato starch will soak up the sap and slowly stop the bleeding. Paint large wounds with Arbrex from Bayer when they dry.
