How to grow durian seeds

In addition to planting it outdoors, durian can actually be grown in potted plants . Although it is difficult to bear fruit, it is also very good for viewing. It can be planted using durian seeds, which is very simple. So what is the cultivation method of durian seeds ? Let’s learn more about it below.

1. Seed selection

Choose a ripe and healthy durian fruit, remove the pulp and wash the seeds. Please note that durian seeds should not be stored for too long and are best used as soon as possible.

2. Seed treatment

Soak the seeds in clean water for about 24 hours to help soften the outer shell and promote germination. After soaking, take out the seeds and dry them.

3. Pot soil preparation

Prepare a flowerpot that you often use and fill it about 80% full with soil. It is best to choose well-drained, fertile and loose soil. You can add leaf mold or peat to improve the soil structure. At the same time, you also need to water it appropriately to keep the soil moist.

4. Planting in the soil

Sow the treated seeds in the soil, not too deep, about 3-5 cm. And maintain appropriate spacing. It is generally recommended to keep a distance of 10-15 cm between each seed.

5. Post-planting management

After planting, place it in a cool and warm place for maintenance. There is no need to water it frequently. The soil just needs to be slightly moist. Seedlings will grow in about half a month.

6. Maintenance points

(1) Water and fertilizer: Water regularly and keep the soil moist while avoiding overwatering to prevent root rot. At the same time, apply nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other fertilizers reasonably according to the growth stage.

(2) Pruning: When the seedlings grow to a certain height, pruning and trimming are carried out to promote branching and increase fruit yield.

(3) Pest control: Aphids can be controlled by spraying 1000 times diluted solution once a week. Scale insects can be controlled by adding 15 grams of pedicel to 10 liters of water, spraying the entire seedling once a week.



In general, the cultivation method of durian seeds is not difficult. Basically following the above steps can effectively improve the germination rate of durian seeds and promote healthy growth. When handling seeds, you should also be gentle to avoid excessive damage to the seeds, and be patient while waiting for the germination process.
