Providing Support

• Vine Growth: Kiwi vines can grow 25-30 feet long, requiring sturdy support.
• Support Options: Use a trellis, patio overhead, or a structure on a balcony or rooftop.

Key Growing Requirements

• Soil: Well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter like compost or aged manure. pH should be slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. Avoid heavy clay or overly sandy soils.
• Location: Full sun is essential, with 5-6 hours of sunlight daily.
• Temperature:
  • Cold climates: 40º-60º F (4.44º-15.56º C).
  • Warm regions: 56º-77º F (13.33º-25º C).
  • Protect young plants from temperatures below 14º F (-10º C).
• Watering: Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced granular fertilizer (16-16-16) 2-3 times per year, avoiding over-fertilization to protect the roots.
