Sowing
Kiwi planting is typically done using saplings, planted in fertile, well-drained soil with good sun exposure. Planting is generally carried out in late winter or early spring. Since the plant is a climbing vine, it is necessary to use support structures such as stakes, wires, or pergolas to aid its growth. It is also important to maintain regular watering and proper pruning to encourage the plant's development and fruit production.
