How To Grow Hardy Kiwi (Kiwi Berries) EASY METHOD

Cutest Fruit You’ll Ever Try!🥝 Small but mighty - the baby kiwi berry! You need 2 plants - one male and one female - to successfully grow a kiwi berry as they need to pollinate each other to have tiny kiwi children. Will you grow them with me?

I’m under the weather this week, so my apologies for the sniffly-sounding voiceover.
But…if you want to know how to germinate baby kiwi berry seeds, I’m going to teach you how!
I’ve been waiting almost 2yr to find these in Canada, you can’t get them anywhere!
To germinate the seeds so you can grow a future plant with the tails that sprout, follow these instructions:
1: Cut open the kiwi berry and remove seeds with a utensil. Tweezers, fork. I used an unsharp knife.
2: You can rinse the seeds to clean the fruit away, but I just chose to pat away the excess fruit with paper towel.
3: You can soak the seeds in water for 24hr to help soften their outer coating and encourage germination - you’ll also know which seeds will and won’t grow because you’ll be doing the ‘floating seed test’ - floating seeds will not grow and sinking ones will. That’s just the way it is. I didn’t soak them as I’ve successfully grown without.
4: Grab a damp piece of paper towel - not too much wetness… and grab a plastic sealable baggie, or a glass jar with a lid.
5: Place seeds on the damp paper towel and fold (the dampness helps the seeds stick).
6: Seal it in the baggie or glass jar and ensure you keep your paper towel damp, which requires re-shpritzing your paper towel 2x/week. I like to keep my germinating seeds in a sunny spot, but controversially, a lot of botanists like to keep seeds in the dark. I find it makes em prone to mold - & you have to re-shpritz the towel less - but keeping them in sun dries the towel so you add more water, but less prone to mold. I do believe the sun helps the lil tails germinate faster.
7: Wait till your tails grow and then plant in soil! You can add vermiculite and perlite to your soil for aeration so the soil doesn’t get too soggy!
