Plant Care Guide

Ideal Plantation Locations

Durian trees thrive in tropical and subtropical climates with high humidity and ample rainfall. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter.

Planting & Gardening Instructions

1. Location: Choose a sunny location with partial shade.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare a well-draining soil mix by combining equal parts of potting soil, compost, and perlite.
3. Planting: Plant the Durian seedling in a pot slightly larger than the root ball.
4. Spacing: If planting multiple trees, maintain a distance of 15-20 feet between them.

Watering

Water the Durian seedling regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering frequency during the dry season.

Fertilizers

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can harm the plant.

Repotting Instructions

Re-pot the Durian seedling every 2-3 years or when the roots become pot-bound. Choose a larger pot and fresh potting mix.

Fruiting Season

Durian trees typically start fruiting 5-7 years after planting. The fruiting season varies depending on the specific cultivar and climate.
