Scoop seeds from a ripe kiwi fruit
Rinse seeds thoroughly to remove pulp
Dry seeds on a paper towel for 1 to 2 days
Place seeds in a damp paper towel or moist sand
Seal in a plastic bag or container
Refrigerate for 4 to 6 weeks for cold stratification
Fill small pots or seed trays with seed-starting mix
Sow seeds on the surface and cover lightly with soil
Mist the soil to keep it evenly moist
Place in a warm, bright location
Keep temperature around 65 to 75°F
Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging
Wait for germination, which may take 2 to 8 weeks
Transplant seedlings when they have several true leaves
Move seedlings to larger pots as they grow
Harden off plants before moving outdoors
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with full sun
Provide a trellis or support structure
Water regularly during establishment
Protect young plants from frost and strong wind
Grow both male and female plants for fruit production
Be patient, since seed-grown kiwi may take several years to fruit
