#ProPlantTips for Care:
The male Arctic Beauty is a fast-growing climbing vine that prefers full sun in a protected area, or partial shade in hotter climates. Plant in about any type of rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter and provide regular applications of water throughout the growing season. All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to insulate the roots and hold moisture in more consistently.
Train your Kiwi Vine by tying up branches to encourage them the way you want them to grow. Prune Hardy Kiwi Vines in the late winter or very early spring before you see new growth emerging. Feed a fruiting plant fertilizer according to package directions. You can plant male and female Kiwi Vines together using high-density planting techniques if space is limited.
