Hello everyone. In my last Kiwi series update, I planned to try to propagate the cuttings I took from the kiwi vines I've grown from seed. This video shows their progress. If you've missed the series, the playlist is below: th-cam.com/play/PLKJSapt21HvXLhzkeCvv88Rqh27LyCKEW.html Thanks for watching!
Rob Backyard Gardenerr I would say thats a success. I didnt think water only , with 2 month submersion would work but you proved it. On one of the foreign channels they take a green stem say a foot long with several leafs . They suspend the bottom end in a partically water filled bottle then air layer mid stem . The air layer is out of the water bottle but inclosed along with the leaves in a upside down bottle . Looks like an hour glass
Bob Brawley Wow... that's a pretty unique method. I figured air layering would work but to air layer from a cutting seems very intriguing. Thanks for sharing Bob.
sir, I am from a remote area of Kashmir can't able to understand properly wht u say sir. can sir plz able to write in text discription what kind of water, how much days after we have to change or or sir what we have to add other materials in water?????? Answer plz
Good onya RBG, thanks. I have been told tho that u should take cuttings from known fruit producing vines as this plant grows both male and female - males dont grow the fruit. So u need both, ratio 1 male to 4 fem if u indeed plan/hope to grow fruit. Anyway, Im going to give it a go. Thanks again from NZ.
Planted a grape vine about 3 years ago and this summer is the first summer it’s gotten fruit on it. I’m moving and doubt I can dig the roots up to move it too. So thanks to your video I can at least try and get some new vines to go with me. Thanks
Greetings Rob u are a guru, I like your online kiwi lecture sessions. Easy to understand and to the point. Great stuff, I`m going to give it a go! I have stated my kiwi project because of your rich lecturer sessions full of knowledge.God bless
I took some cuttings over 10 years ago it produces fruit And it made a sucker several feet away from the base of the plant that I separated and transplanted hopefully it will fruit as well
That's a fantastic video. Fully value the info and appreciate you sharing with us! Hope these have become a main source of nutrition, i eat these loads with the skin on.. given that they hold multiple times vit c in comparison to oranges, why wouldn't you want to ingest the entire fruit; well worth cultivating. Just a wee tip though, something that we hope is beneficial to you or to anyone reading this: as the nodes show & then when the small teeniest of shoots pushes through those nodes, when there then maybe become more than one you can remove the biggest leaf, giving more encouragement of further new growth, and with that shall begin more & more roots. That's how we cultivated ours in uk and process took a mere 4-5 weeks in autumn before long roots appeared. Realise there are other factors to take into account, ie, temp (our distiller radiates brilliant heat for a few hours daily/late evening, also daylight hours depending on season & geographical situ, feeding methods (comfrey & nettle, with aloe vera chucked in for good measure- astonishing results our rooting hormone methods, we also talk a lot to the plants/crops, and when cultivating we tend to have been habitually changing their surroundings occasionally as it's what works.. although only if we have time 😅 for real though! In gratitude 💫✌🏽
I think you could take a vine like that, leave it connected and put it into a pot to root while connected. Or even get a piece of house gutter and lay that down filled wiht soil, the entire little vine placed in it with the node covered with soil, it'd root from each node and give many plants that could be unsnipped in a couple months.
Do kiwi plants need a lot of water? Mine stay rather close to the pot for now (about 4 months old now and a some 15-20cm high), I'm pretty sure the pot is more than big enough though. I'm just not sure if I underwater them but I don't want to overwater them either... Same for my citrus trees growing, but perhaps those just take a long time to grow. I'm even planning on drying and mixing some banana peels as fertilizer for both my kiwi and my citrus plants, good idea or is this going to burn them? Thanks for the info man!
Mine get a lot of water due to their locations in my yard. They seem to prefer it, but I don't have any in areas that get very little water so it may be worth trying out. Citrus needs to have periods of dry spells followed by thorough waterings. You do need to ensure that the soil is well draining and that you don't let the roots sit in moisture as they are prone to root rot. As far as the banana peels - they won't burn the plants. Banana peels contain nutrients but they don't contain everything for your plants. As they decompose, they will add potassium, as well as small amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and magnesium, just like a slow release fertilizer so I say go ahead and add them - I add them to my compost pile regularly. Thanks for watching!
If you cut away the leaves on the twiggs the roots will grow faster. Also when you use aspirinepowder ( crush an aspirine ) it will grow roots faster and stronger. Beside that the water will be better propected against sicknesses of may courses not gooing good in the proces.

One litre of water. Keep warm as in room temp. Use propagation dip. Its a goiey substance that adheres to base of cutting. I use soil and woodchios to propagate
Sibi Jose technically vines, like grapes. They do develop a trunk but only due to training them similarly like you would train a grapevine. I really need to get a good system/trellis setup for mine.
Just keep in mind Kiwis grow from new growth (previous season) so cutting back new growth effectively forces you to wait until next year before you get kiwis on those branches which were cut .

Rob Backyard Gardenerr could u send me some kiwi seeds please 👍

rice gum news I pull mine from store bought fruit. May not be the best ones to grow. I'm pretty sure you can find true to seed ones online.

This is amazing. I have a 1 year old kiwi tree I’ve grown from seed. I’ll definitely be trying this out in the coming years!
Thank you for posting this! I have one year old vines (male & female) and will try this method as I trim it back. Great help!
orphanlady Anytime. Thanks for tuning in!
Thanks Rob, great , going to try this now,
So awesome how you can propagate those!!
Greetings Rob
u are a guru, I like your online kiwi lecture sessions. Easy to understand and to the point. Great stuff, I`m going to give it a go! I have stated my kiwi project because of your rich lecturer sessions full of knowledge.God bless
joseph kunyoria Thank you kindly Joseph. I am trying to work on being more informative in my videos versus just documenting progress.
I took some cuttings over 10 years ago it produces fruit And it made a sucker several feet away from the base of the plant that I separated and transplanted hopefully it will fruit as well
Just exactly what I was looking for. Will do it myself. Thanks
That's pretty cool Rob. Congratulations. Best wishes Bob.
BobMels Gardens Thank you Bob!
Try adding an aspirin to the water, or some aloe chunks. They are both root stimulators. The aloe seems to never go bad also. Best of luck to you!!!
Thank you for this, I will try this
Good Morning Rob
That is exciting to see. I love those Kiwi vine, they are so pretty. I am glad it worked and can't wait to see from fruit :)
deezie
deezie Thank you deezie!
Hi Rob, your work looks great 👏👏👏, is there any update on this?
Sounds and looks promising mate
Scott Watson I hope it works! Thanks for joining me today!

Great video rob! Thanks for the update on the kiwis.
92PreludeS Thanks Prelude!

Yeah, that would likely root faster too!
Yes you know it! Serpentene layering is the foolproof method. Always works with kiwi.
mate thats a great idea - cheers
Are talking about a tip/air layer?
wow took a long time to propagate
Absolutely brilliant thanks man thank you so much
Very helpful info, thank you
Thanks for sharing good vedio presentation.
That's incredible!! Great news
Jeff Kitch Thanks Jeff!
4:25 does this kiwi with dark green leaves require grafting??
when do you make cuttings? Early Spring ?
Oh wow not bad to try
Do kiwi plants need a lot of water? Mine stay rather close to the pot for now (about 4 months old now and a some 15-20cm high), I'm pretty sure the pot is more than big enough though.

Can i grow in sand or soil too ? If not in water
That water probably smelled like a damn corpse lol 😂😂 nice job though, ill be trying this with my kiwi vines.
👍
Albert Einsteinian it got pretty bad a few times but changing it often helped!
What did you feed them while they were in the water
If you cut away the leaves on the twiggs the roots will grow faster. Also when you use aspirinepowder ( crush an aspirine ) it will grow roots faster and stronger. Beside that the water will be better propected against sicknesses of may courses not gooing good in the proces.
How long will it take for the cuttings to make kiwi berries?
What have you been feeding them, may I ask
You mention that you put in some nutrients in the water during the rooting. What is the nutrients?
Dennis B a little bit of honey and cinnamon. I actually dipped the end into a mixture of honey/cinnamon and then placed it in the water.
Hi Rob. Will a kiwi vine grow from a cutting thats been stored in chiller?
I need one of those vines lol
dulcemari77 They are fun to grow dulcemari!
If you do that with a female vine are you getting only females from it or does some change to male?
great vid rob :)
hUsSaM MohaMmed Thank you very much!
What is the nutrition you added to the kiwi plants in the water?
finally yessss so happy men😍😍😍😍😍💃
sir, I am from a remote area of Kashmir can't able to understand properly wht u say sir. can sir plz able to write in text discription what kind of water, how much days after we have to change or or sir what we have to add other materials in water??????
Answer plz
I m from Kashmir too, give me your contact
One litre of water. Keep warm as in room temp. Use propagation dip. Its a goiey substance that adheres to base of cutting. I use soil and woodchios to propagate
I planted my kiwi plants after keeping under water for four months..... Will it grow ?
nice video!
Thank you!
Sir ...plz tell me the date of this workout...
Rob is this cutting plant material from a seedling ?
Jegor Dejev Yes. It's from ones I grew from seed. They were 14 months old at the time I took them.
Hi is kiwi grows on plant(tree) ? Vine ?
Sibi Jose technically vines, like grapes. They do develop a trunk but only due to training them similarly like you would train a grapevine. I really need to get a good system/trellis setup for mine.
Hi love ur viedios my kiwi plant is not fruiting can u plz tell me why it is 7 years old plant
Latifa Nasreen May reqiree female& male Plants,4 pollination.
I don’t know if this is helpful, it’s been a year. I was told you need sleazy one male kiwi for up to 12 female kiwis. Hope this helps.
How do you prune kiwi
Ethan Schlacter I take the fastest growing Vine and cut it into 12" segments.
Just keep in mind Kiwis grow from new growth (previous season) so cutting back new growth effectively forces you to wait until next year before you get kiwis on those branches which were cut .
How to know mail or fimail
Is you kiwi a male or female plant?
Male or female? How do you know?
You need to take the cuttings from mature plants. Fruiting plants are female
use rooting hormones next time. A tiny bit of aspirin for example.
Don’t you need a male as female cuttings?
So now you know you can clone the female plants.
