Kiwano
How to sow kiwano successfully under cover?
To grow kiwanos under cover, we recommend sowing the seeds in individual cups filled with light, well-drained potting soil in spring. Kiwanos require a germination temperature of around 20°C, so it's important to place them in a warm, bright spot to encourage their growth. Make sure you keep the potting soil moist but not soggy by watering regularly.
Once the seedlings have developed a few leaves, they can be transplanted into the ground or into larger pots to allow the plant to develop. Choose a sunny spot sheltered from the wind to encourage fruit development.
Kiwanos are climbing plants that can reach up to 3 metres in height, so it's advisable to stake them to help them grow. Finally, kiwanos appreciate soil rich in organic matter, so don't hesitate to mulch the base of the plants to conserve moisture and provide natural nutrients. By following these tips, you'll be able to enjoy delicious, fresh and exotic kiwanos in your garden.
