What are the requirements to grow these plants indoor?

I planted the lavender plants in a container in a mixture of topsoil and some compost. They are in a greenhouse at about 75F. I water them only when the soil feels dry and so far they are growing vigorously. I'm impressed with the company and will buy from them again.

That might be a question for the company that sells them, but I can tell you how mine are doing. I planted them outside in medium size dirt mounds because they don't like their roots wet for very long. They are coming along just fine. I also have another kind of lavender planted, and they have not grown as much as these. I would buy these again. Hope this helps!

I'd say three to four medium sized plants if you are talking about mature plants. You'll have to trim indeterminate plants back because they can become six foot plus monsters. If you are thinking of small, determintate patio tomato plants, 10-12 will fit. I've only used these lights to start tomatoes, not grow them entirely inside. But I have had daylilies bloom under them, so I think you'll get fruit.

Pretty simple....just put them in the soil and cover with dirt. I don't think you will have any trouble. They came up and are thriving. I have some planted with a spider plant and the contrast is very nice.

They are absolutely edible...and delicious! I wouldn't try to grow it indoors, though. It has long, vining canes and would take up far too much room! Unless you have an enormous sunroom where you could let it grow, it would be impossible!

No plants need a different spectrum of light. You need an actual grow lamp which u can get at your local pet store. Or online at Marineland.

These are VERY small when you receive them. Put each one in a separate one gallon pot with potting soil. They are quick growers. I would nurse them until at least one foot high before putting out in the yard. I would allow a Minimum of five feet from walkway or house.

Just need to plant them and water asap :). Instructions can be found found on the Mr Stacky website which shows best planting practices. Roots in the ground, crowns just above the soil line. Roots come dormant and coming out of dormancy so they are thirsty when you get them. New signs of growth will happen in 1-3 days. The weight should just be ignored amazons shipping goes on weight which is not accurate with actual USPS rates for shipping live plants so we the seller has to correct it by adding weight.Thank you very much!

Don-we have not actually used our kit yet, With that said we have done some research and we are confident that we will be able to grow this indoors in an aquarium type setup. This is our plan as well.

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.

No sure. I know it required at least 5 hours of sun a day. But you can plant it in a pot and place it indoor near windows with the most day light during the day and no worry about the zones.

You can grow in any pot that I bought it from dollar store. As long as the pot has a hole at the bottom, you will be fine//:)

I grow mine inside as they are sensitive to extremes. The only place you can grow them outside on the mainland is selected spots in California near the coast. They like it between 60 and 80 degrees I believe. You won't get many berries out of put grown plants though, but they do flower and supposedly smell nice. Mine are still very young and have not flowered.

They are already grown and will need to transplant them to bigger pots when you get them. Most were about 3-4 inches tall.

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.

Yes, sean is correct, you must either start the plants somewhere (indoors in seed starting trays under fluorescent lights, I'd recommend), or purchase the plants (local garden center or online) and then transplant them into the Topsy Turvy when they are the right size (not to big so they'll fit through the holes, but not so small that they wont be able to withstand the transplant. They must be "hardened off" before they are transplanted also).
