Hello, I need help with my tiny kiwi plants. This is my situation. I recently brought 2 female and 2 male kiwi plants from an online seller. They were about 5 inch tall. After they arrived from the mail, I put them in some bigger pots individually with some moist controlled soil and water them immediately. And then I set them in my backyard with full sunlight. Some of the leaves turned yellow in one day. And I moved them indoor after I found some leaves turned yellow. Therefore, I want to ask were the leaves burned by the direct sunlight? should I just keep them indoor for now? and how long should I keep them indoor? Thank you very much for helping.
Yup - you burned them by putting them into direct sun too fast. Pull them back into part shade and gently ease them into full sun over about 2-3 weeks, so that they can adapt to the higher light and heat levels.
thanks lorax, I read from some articles saying that I should have some mist spray on the plants periodically. Should I do that to help them recover? and how often should I water them? I am worry that if i water everyday will keep them. Thank you very much
Personally, I'd only water when the soil is dry to the first knuckle on my index finger, and mist daily in the evening.
