Planting Instructions
Best Planting Time:
-
Indoors: Start 8-10 weeks before the last frost (ideal for controlled germination).

Planting Steps:
-
Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic mix (pH 5.5-6.5) with compost.
-
Depth: Surface-sow or lightly cover with 1-2 mm of soil (kiwi seeds need light to germinate).
-
Spacing: Start in small pots; transplant seedlings 1-2 feet apart initially.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light for seedlings; mature plants need full sun to partial shade.
-
Moisture: Keep soil consistently damp (not soggy) until germination.
Germination & Early Care:
-
Sprout Time: 2-6 weeks (can be erratic).
-
Transplanting: Move outdoors when seedlings have 3-4 true leaves and frost risk is gone.
