Kiwano prefers loamy or 40%-40%-20% Sand-Silt-Clay mixture, and a Ph range of 6.0 - 6.5. **If using a container, make sure it is well drained. Plant your seeds. Push the seed 1/2" into prepared soil or twice the size of the root-ball if planting a seedling. You'll want to allow about 6 feet (1.8 m) between rows and about 2 feet (0.6 m) between groupings of 2-3 seeds {1 seedling}. Keep permanently watered.
