Within a few days my poor kiwi has started to wither. Do you think it's a result of sunburn? Perhaps underwatering? Anything helps! Thanks! 😊

How frequently have you been watering it? Definitely seems like it was too dry. I always try to bottom water my dessert plants for at least an hour to make sure it’s getting a really really good drink.

Hi Katie! I was trying to water as little as possible because I was afraid of overwatering. I'll give it a drink today and see how he reacts! Thanks ☺️
