How to grow it
STRATIFICATION: Open your Seeds In A Cup kit. Soak the tiny kiwi seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Place in the provided moistened growing medium inside a sealed bag. Refrigerate at 33-41°F (1-5°C) for 30-60 days.
PLANTING: After stratification, fill your Seeds In A Cup container with the provided growing medium. Press seeds gently onto the surface — kiwi seeds need light to germinate, so cover only very lightly with a thin dusting of medium. Mist thoroughly. Place in a warm, bright location (70-75°F) or under a grow light for 14-16 hours/day. Germination occurs in 14-28 days.
SEEDLING CARE: Kiwi seedlings are delicate at first but grow vigorously once established. When seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, transplant to a larger pot with a small stake for support. Move outdoors in USDA Zones 4-8 after last frost. Provide a sturdy arbor or trellis. For fruit production, you will need both male and female plants.
