Actinidia chinensis aka Kiwi

With its straightforward care requirements, Kiwi is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Kiwi should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Kiwi loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Kiwi prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the wintertime, it is common for Kiwi plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

Kiwi’s native range is E. Asia - China.
