When we hear the word kiwi, the image of exotic, mostly store-bought fruits comes to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it possible to grow them in colder regions, as they originate from southern Asia? Well, yes, hardy kiwis, also known as baby kiwis, can easily grow in much colder areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Small kiwis are smaller than those generally available in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best way to enjoy fresh kiwis is to grow them yourself. Here you will find all the information on growing kiwis in pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A kiwi plant takes 3 to 5 years to bear fruit. You can multiply this plant from seeds or cuttings. Get seeds from your nearest garden shop or any online store. It is preferable to plant from cuttings, because this way you can obtain better varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Purchase a potted plant from a garden store to save the time needed to grow the plant from seed or cuttings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can start planting in an 18-20 inch container with drainage holes. If after a few years it has grown out of the container, you can transfer it to a larger container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kiwis need strong support, as they can reach 25-30 feet in length and are quite heavy. They can climb up the side of a deck or install a solid trellis structure for adequate support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kiwis grow in well-drained soil. If it is rich in organic matter, it further promotes the growth of the plant. The pH can range from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. Soils rich in clay are harmful and should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It needs full sun to grow healthily. Place it in a place where it receives maximum sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In colder climates, kiwi works well in temperatures between 40 and 60\u00b0 F (4.44-15.56\u00b0 C). In warmer regions, kiwis do best at temperatures between 50\u00b0F and 75\u00b0F. The plant may be affected or even die at temperatures below 80\u00b0F (-1.67\u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For healthy plant growth it is important to keep the soil moist, but do not overwater, because kiwis do not like excessive water and it can also cause root rot. Water daily, but avoid watering completely until the plants are established.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
