Few people know that the kiwi’s homeland is China. There it is also known as the Chinese gooseberry.
It is important to know that kiwi contains much more vitamins than citrus fruits, and its consumption has a beneficial effect on our digestive system.
But how can you grow this favorite fruit at home?
The most important thing is to choose very well ripened fruits, they need to be peeled and mashed with a fork. Add some water and let it boil for a while. This way the small kiwi seeds remain on the surface and we can easily collect them.
Once we have the seeds, we can give them a chance to germinate. Wrap them in cotton wool or gauze, put them in a cup and keep them in a warm place, keeping them moist. In about 10 days, the seeds will germinate.

Then we can plant them in a pot. We can use soil for tropical plants. In this way, we will create a more favorable environment for their development. After we have planted the small sprouted seeds, it is good to cover the pot with stretch film so that we can observe them.
Leave the pot in a warm and sunny place. In a week, you will see the seeds actively sprouting. It is important to trim small leaves and weak shoots at the base to free up space.
It is important to water only with settled water. Water once every two weeks in the cold months, and twice a week in the summer and spring.
When the plant reaches a height of about 10 centimeters, we can transplant it into a new pot. After we have transferred it, we must continue the same watering regime and make sure that the pot is in a warm and sunny place.
With sufficient attention and care, we will be able to enjoy the fruits in about 3 years. The leaf flowers become large and white.
