Growing Fruit in a Pot: An Old Farmer Harvests a 20-jin Big Fruit

?Growing fruit in pots is no longer anything unusual these days. It seems like every household grows something on the balcony, like strawberries, cherry tomatoes and other small fruits, and growing a watermelon counts as a "large" fruit. But there is such a person who actually tried to grow a tropical fruit like durian, and surprisingly succeeded. This truly impressed Huahua.

As everyone knows, durian is the king of fruits, but opinions about it are truly mixed. Some people think it is a delicacy on earth, while others avoid it at all costs. Huahua does not dislike durian, but only previously learned that durian grows on trees. I wonder what method the old farmer actually used to grow durian in a pot. Let's take a look together with Huahua.

After eating durian, a seed remains, and this seed is the heart of the potted durian. First, clean the seed thoroughly, then soak it in water for about two or three days. After soaking, a small white sprout will grow from the durian seed just like other seeds. By this time, the outer skin of the seed has become wrinkled, so we can remove it.

The choice of potting soil is crucial for growing durian, because durian is a tropical fruit, so we should choose soil with relatively good breathability and drainage, and the soil must not be too moist, otherwise the durian seed will rot.

After preparing the growing soil, plant the white sprout on the seed into the soil. A thin layer of soil can be spread over the white sprout. After these steps are completed, place the flower pot in a relatively high, shady spot. Although it is a tropical fruit, the seed should not be exposed to the sun all the time, and it does not need watering every day. After a few days, the seed will grow small leaves.

In this way, the small durian leaves will grow into a small durian seedling, and the leaves will gradually change from tender yellow to green. After the roots and stems grow thicker and stronger, we should consider repotting the potted durian. When repotting, try to move it together with the soil directly, and there is no need to transplant the durian, because if the durian root system is accidentally damaged, all the previous effort will be wasted.

After repotting, the potted durian has more space to grow. In the early stage of growth, fertilize it regularly, because it needs more nutrients. In the later stage, place the potted durian in a sunny spot to receive its "baptism." Because it is a tropical fruit, the more sufficient the light, the larger and sweeter the fruit will grow.

With step-by-step care and attention, the old farmer harvested the first durian fruit he had ever grown himself. It seems that as long as the method is right and the care is careful, almost all fruits can really be self-sufficient!
