Hunan Durian Planting Technology

1. Soil

If the durian is grown in a potted plant, the soil requirements are relatively high. It should be nutritious, have good drainage and air permeability, and the pH value should be between 5.0-6.5. If it is planted in the ground, the depth of the soil should not be less than 1.5 meters.

2. Watering

Durian has high requirements for water and needs to be provided with sufficient water during the growth period. It needs to be watered almost every day to keep the soil slightly moist, but without water accumulation.

3. Lighting

Durian has relatively high requirements for light. Because it is native to the tropics, whether it is potted or planted in the ground, it needs to be placed in a place with sufficient light, otherwise its growth will be weak.
