Can I grow these indoors? I live in an apartment with lots of windows

I am pretty sure you will not be successful getting them to fruit indoors. Kiwis grow like a grapevine and need something to climb on. Also they are male and female plants and need to be a few feet apart. I finally got mine growing on either end of a trellis about 15 feet apart. The male plant is windward of the female and pollen blows her way. No offense to Hirts, but try to get the biggest plant you can. The bare root kiwis from Hirts can be difficult to revive. Interesting thing is they are hardy here in NC. Be careful, I have been told they can be invasive.

Probably not as they are quite aggressive and need plenty of support such as an arbor for proper support and growth.

I didn't have any luck with that, but later learned that they need acidic soil!

In climate zones 9-11 they can be grown outdoors year round although they can become invasive so be aware of where you sow your seeds; any climate zone colder than 9 can be grown as an annual outdoors (or simply brought indoors for winter). They should tolerate average indoor room temperatures fine, just be sure to use soil which drains well that doesn't compact easily and have it where it can get lots of light with some direct sunlight.

Not if planted in pots. They can be brought indoors. I live in Florida, and my plants are indoors.

Yes they definitely will grow. It may not be as full, but they grow pretty fast. I potted mine and have them on the window sill.

Well, They should grow in indoor plants. Do not use mic Racle grow unless they look puny!

There are no directions, so I think they can just be planted. I started them indoors because I was in too big of a hurry for winter to end!

They can be grown indoors. They're fairly forgiving with maybe 1 to 2 times a week being watered from what I've found with mine. Although I've read they like generally once a week. As long as the soil is just a barely moist to the touch you should be okay. Most places will tell you to fertilize when they start to bloom once very two weeks or so until the fruit is gone. But a little trimming is usually enough to keep them behaved. The one I got a few month ago got a massive trimming. It was only 3 10 inch sprigs with a lot of growth towards one side. But I already have a blossom going full blooom and new growth in a way that balances out the weight. So far, mine's been rather hard to kill. :) They can be grown indoors.

Yes, we just put it on the counter, where it gets no sunlight. Good luck. These are very easy to grow. Hope you enjoy.

Not particularly. But if you already have bugs on your other indoor plants, you can be sure they'll find their way here. P.S. I can't help but repeat what I already said in my review, there is little here to justify the price. For the money it cost, I could have gotten something far better.

You would use a store bought potting mix and plant in that..I use mine for hydroponic tomatoes ..indoors.

I live in Utah and it is too cold here to plant them outside. I have grown several indoors. I put them out in the summer and in a very bright room with indirect sunlight in the winter. They have to be trimmed, but bloom for quite a while inside. That's what I intend to do with these.

They are kinda small, but nothing larger would fit in my window. I grow basil and chives currently in them.

They would survive indoors if they had plenty of light. Succulents like the sun because they are a cactus so plenty of sunshine in or next to a window would be fine. Remember they don't need a lot of water.

With sunlight I don't see why not. That's what I bought them to do and the packet includes indoor growing instructions!

I have one (its about 3 months old now) and I live just South of Seattle. Currently, it is in my windowsill and doing just fine and I have heard that you can plant them outside as well as they are very hardy! So, a definite yes to indoor growing and a tentative yes if you want to put it outside. :)

Sure you could use them inside, They give a nice steady light. I have mine outside on my fence and it makes a nice lit pathway nearly until morning.

It depends on the herb. I managed to get nice healthy clumps of everything I planted. we just moved in so I had to start from scratch. I did try some indoors and they didn't do so well. I will post pictures the spring when everything comes back up
