Time to make some friends?

Oo, that's harsh. I have got some you know.

Any idea how long I need to leave these to develop a decent root structure before I pot them up individually please?

I think it will depend on the temperature. I had good roots on mine after they had three full leaves.

Be very careful when you pot them up individually.
I took some grape cuttings in January, and had them on a heated propagator base in my conservatory for the rest of winter, so that they had warm soil and cool air (which encourages rooting without encourage premature bud growth). The roots were coming out of the bottom of the pot by the beginning of March, so I potted them up separately. But the young roots are very brittle. Almost all of them lost a couple small pieces of root, and once cutting lost almost all of its roots (although the callous was still healthy, so I think the roots should have grown back by now).

Best to plant in separate pots and replant the whole thing.
