The most important thing about growing durian is that the pot must be big! Just look at the size of a durian and you'll know - to get it to bear fruit, a pot big enough for the durian to grow in is very important!
For the soil, try to choose a fairly fertile, loose soil. This kind of all-around good soil is universal, because it's hard to go wrong with it, it helps the plant grow better, and it even affects how fast the plant grows. Good nutrient-rich soil is very important.
We wash the durian seeds clean and soak them in water for a while, about two days. Soaking the seeds in water helps them sprout faster - don't think it's useless! When you see a small sprout starting to poke out of the durian seed, you can bury the seed in the pot you prepared in advance.
Try to keep it in a cool, ventilated spot, which is better for sprouting and growth. At this point, don't water too often - just follow the watering principle of "water when dry, hold off when wet." After about a week, the little sprout gradually grows, and we can see it slowly turning into a durian potted plant; at this point you can move the durian to a spot where it gets sunlight.
When growing durian at home, you must keep up with the nutrients. We can fertilize the durian regularly, and we can apply more nitrogen fertilizer - nitrogen fertilizer helps plants grow quickly and also makes the stems and leaves grow more robust. Besides that, we can also give the durian some organic fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer or soybean fertilizer.
Also, if you want the durian fruit to get bigger faster, you can also spray it appropriately with monopotassium phosphate, after the fruit has been growing for a while. That way the fruit will grow bigger and faster.
That's it for the daily care methods for durian. If you're interested, you can look up more information, and by following Huahua's methods, you can grow a durian potted plant! It just takes a bit longer, but thinking about being able to eat durian you grew yourself in the future will still make you very happy!
