If this plant does not recover, dig it out and examine the roots. If
they are mushy, the plant may have root rot. The first female kiwi I
ordered started wilting in the pot it came in shortly after delivery.
I lifted it out of the pot, and the roots were black and mushy, not
white and firm like those of the (healthy) male. The vendor replaced
it right away.
