Pollination ya maluwa atali 3 mm ndi chimodzimodzi monga ichitira mbewu ya nkhaka. Tizindikire kuti chipatso chikhonza kuola chikafika pogundana ndi dothi. Kiwano amamera bwino ndi temperature yozungulira 25 ºC, choncho temperature ya m’mabokosi wamba imasungidwa chimodzimodzi ngati momwe apangira ndi nkhaka komanso mavwembe/mameloni. Kiwano imapilira malo osazizira kwambiri. Ngati mukukhala kumalo kumene kumazizira kapena kumene madzi amaundana chifukwa chakuzizira, ndikoyenera kudzala kiwano panja madzi owundana akatha.
