How to fertilize Hardy kiwi
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hardy kiwi after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

SAY HELLO TO KIWI NUMBER 1!!! How should I name it? 1st picture taken at 8 am today. 2nd at 11 am. IT GROWS SO FAST. I am so grateful that they are growing. I suppose the rest will take 1-2 days longer because they have to move a bit more soil aside. #newgrowth #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy
