How To Grow A Kiwi Tree Or Vine From Seed, Day 53

- Here's an update on my Kiwi grown from seed series!
2 weeks ago I transplanted some of the Kiwis into cups and since they seem to be doing great, I decided it was time to transplant the rest - and show you how they've progressed!
I will try to list the biggest factors here so you can get off to a good start!
1) If sprouting from a store bought kiwi, be sure to use an organic kiwi fruit. The ones that are not organic tend to not reproduce very well and the seedlings may not perform well.
2) Kiwi seedlings need a lot of light when they first emerge. They are use to tropical and/or hotter climates so if you are growing them under a grow light, be sure they are close to it (within a foot at most) and get plenty of it - I had the lights on for 18 hours per day until they were well established.
3) Kiwis need a ton of water, but they need it to drain well too! Be sure the soil stays moist but it drains easily - which leads me to the final critical factor...
4) Most potting soils will work but BE SURE that it has a good mix of peat moss (retains moisture) and perlite (helps with drainage).
I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

I'm teaching some little kids about seeds tomorrow, so I looked up a video on kiwi seeds. I found yours, and now my lesson plans are on hold while I watch these little guys grow into big plants! I'm loving this playlist! :)
Your videos on growing Kiwis have given me hope for success. Thank you for sharing
You are most welcome! Thank you for watching!
Hey this is rob finds treasure!!! We have alot of hobbies in common lol love both channels !
Wow, thanks for the update. Curiosity was killing me! Glad you didn't throw any of them out!
your such a good person, for keeping those other plants. Great job.
Beatrice King Thank you! It's hard to kill anything, at least for me...
3:06 cutest thing I heard in my life
PaperVisions omg yeah
l watched your videos on kiwi and my kiwi has grown very well from nairobi kenya . thanks for sharing 👍
Mgq Coco Thanks for watching and good luck!!
Hey Mgq Coco do you live in kenya really??
I always give my extras to friends and neighbours as the pots are always free.
Wow you have a great amount of them. I did not have any luck with the hardy kiwi last year.
Any suggestions/recommendations? I don't want to lose them. 😳
Can you categorize Male and female before final plantation?
Your Apple trees look great***
sorry I know this is an old video, but could you make a vid on how you fertilize your seedlings and more mature plants?
The instruction on the bags is confusing so I wasn't sure what am supposed to do when I repot the seedlings, and later when the plant is more mature ... Thanks so much! Always great to learn :)
Thoai Anh Dinh I mixed a half dose of liquid fertilizer to start them off - fish fertilizer. Once’s they were 6” tall I crushed some bone and blood meal and mixed it into the top 1” of the soil. Once they outgrew the pots, I planted them outside.
I have a question, how do you odentify the females and the males of the kiwii?
the male kiwis have cocks and the female kiwis have pussies.
I want to know that too.
My daughter has one that's been growing for years, and not one fruit. Then I found out we need a male & female
What a divine job !
Z Zmsz Thank you!
Hi Rob, how do I know which is male and female kiwi while they are young....way before flowering.
Thank you for the information I have some gold kiwis I want to give them a try
What kind of place is the best for them to grow after the seed has germinated?
man you should sell the ones you don't won't..💵💵💵
Do you recommend any fertilizer after they sprout thanks or what shall I do
Carolina Gardener I did not use fertilizer at all.
Hello I have kiwi sprouts now and I have grow lights how show I transplant them to keep them alive thanks
You are Awesome
Once sprouted, do you leave them in the shade or take them out for sun light? Do you water them regularly? thx
Albert Cutajar I put them right into the light and kept the soil moist (not water logged) until they were about 2 inches tall. Then I spaced out the watering a little more but still didn't let the soil completely dry out ever.
Cool deal looking really good
hi I m from Kashmir It is hilly region with moderate temperature,my question.
how much irrigation is required for a kewi plant during fruit season?
how can we differentiate male & fenale sapling at the earliest?
please respond.
Hi, you grafted them? 🙂
Temperature here reaches 36°C+ at summer, will kiwi vines just die hopless?
j'ai hâte de faire pousser mes propres kiwis
merci beaucoup
thanks a lot
They grow well in sunlight or in shade like an nurcery
Kuber Sharma I have found that they grew best in partial sun, but the ones in full sun did ok too.
Hai..how to knowing male and female kiwi from trees / leaf? Not from the flowers. Thankyou
Average room temperature?
Very nice informative video. A distinguished now who are women and who are male
How long they live for
What is the top like a white colour seeds
怎么长得那么好啊
how much the temperature around the seedlings during this process?
Mohammed Ali I kept them around 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Did you have any drain holes in the tray? Do these plants need much watering/light? please let us know
srirangaraj nc Yes, the cups and the tray had drainage holes. I kept the soil moist but not super wet. They were placed about 6-9" from the light and received 16 hours of light per day. Thanks for watching!
Oh! thanks there Rob!
I have a cranky landlord, so I'm looking for a clean drain system, where there is option for my landlord to yell... any leads?
Hi rob im currently growing kiwis the same way you did with putting the paper towel in the dirt my kiwis small roots are showing on top instead of growing down should i move them ? Or let them be they are currently a month old
Angela Gonzalez if you can flip the paper towel then try it. If not let them be but cover the container with plastic wrap to make a moist environment. I hope that helps!
Hey i grew a few 5 meter plants (2,5 years old) through this way. But when can i expect the first flowers? And first fruit?
Tuva Hey, thanks for tuning in. Typically, it takes about 4-7 years so you half way there-ish. Be patient because you're well on your way. Keep in kind that you'll need at least 1 male and 1 female plant to produce fruit, which you won't know for sure until the flowers come.
how much water needs for a grown kiwi plant during fruit season. I'm from Srinagar Kashmir
Hilal Khan regular A watering cycle is best. About a gallon per foot of height per week should suffice.
Rob Backyard Gardenerr
thanks Rob,now I m learning something.
please give a reply. how can we identify when it small 60days old Whether its is male or female
KK Production You cannot when growing from seed... you have to wait until it flowers and that can take 4-7 years. Only grafted varieties purchased are known whether they are male and female.
i have 15 plant it’s already grown i get confusing how to get them pollination process
What type of weather do these grow best in? I’m on a tropical island. Thanks for sharing.
Michele richards zones 8-10 should work okay.
brother my kiwi seeds sprouted successfully and I shifted to the soil container but thay deid after some days.
Please guide me when to shift and how to care after shifting.
would be grateful to you.
Thanks for reply
Hope next time I would succeed
Thank you! :-)
Jessica Keeney You're welcome!
Great job....🌷🙏 new subscriber saara...
Rob, I subbed.
Thanks!!!
How to you tell young kiwi plant male or female without flowers
I started it on 7 jan 2017 and first leaf on 28 feb 2017
Kuber Sharma Thats a little longer than normal, but seeds can be finicky. I had all but 2 heirloom tomato seeds sprout by day 8 and then I had 2 more sprout 2 weeks later!
Thanks sir for advide might it work and pless can we join on fb for any other discusion..
Plzz sir connect with me on fb surch my no 8982674818 plzz
Kuber Sharma I have a Facebook page we can connect with - same name as my TH-cam Channel.

Oh man, you are so handsome. (in case no one told you lately..)
how do you tell the male and female plants...
Miguel Castaneda - I'd like to know that too.
You have to wait until they produce flowers to tell.... unfortunately. That is why I have 10 plants - hoping to get at least one male and one female!
my seeds sprrout then die some 1 please tell me what i am doing wrong (hair pulling) i took a whole kiwi took out every single tiny lil seed planted them all seprate and every sprout died so no clue why somebody help
Maliki - it could be several factos, but I will try to list the biggest factors here so you can give it another go.
1) If sprouting from a store bought kiwi, be sure to use an organic kiwi fruit. The ones that are not organic tend to not reproduce very well and the seedlings may not perform well.
2) Kiwi seedlings need a lot of light when they first emerge. They are use to tropical and/or hotter climates so if you are growing them under a grow light, be sure they are close to it (within a foot at most) and get plenty of it - I had the lights on for 18 hours per day until they were well established.
3) Kiwis need a ton of water, but they need it to drain well too! Be sure the soil stays moist but it drains easliy - which leads me to the final critical factor...
4) Most potting soils will work but BE SURE that it has a good mix of peat moss (retains moisture) and perlite (helps with drainage).
I hope this helps! Keep trying because you will succeed! It took me several years t get an avocado seed to sprout and now I can get them to sprout and grow every time!
Can we get male and female sapling from seeds ? How to make saplings from seeds?? Please response me.
Zigzag Stha you have to wait until they flower which takes 4-7 years from seed.
Why my kiwibsprouted to late all didnt only one
Kuber Sharma Did you keep the soil warm? Germination happens faster when the soil temperature is 75 degrees F or warmer.
Yes i follow every step of yours
But I heard from professional farmers that those saplings whose leaf is round shape they are female and those whose leaf is not round but a bit longer is male saplings ... is it true???please tell me the truth what's right?
Good question. I've not heard of this method for determining if they are male or female. I'll have to look into it and validate but thank you for bringing it up!
❤🥝🥝🇩🇿
