Durian pictures (introduction to morphological characteristics and maintenance methods)

1. Morphological characteristics

1. Leaves: The leaves are oblong, 10 to 15 cm long and 3-5 cm wide. Both sides are shiny and the top is smoother.

2. Flowers: Flowers grow in clusters on stems and branches, hanging naturally, with up to 30 flowers blooming in an umbrella. The flower buds are spherical, with yellow-white petals that turn outward after opening.

3. Fruit: The fruit is oval in shape, mostly light yellow, but also yellow-green. Up to 30 cm in length, the pulp has a strong smell but is edible.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Durian has extremely high temperature requirements, which generally cannot be lower than 22°C. High temperature helps durian grow and develop, making it plumper.

2. Watering: Durian has strong drought tolerance and does not need to be watered too frequently. According to the degree of dryness and moisture of the soil, keep it slightly moist. Also, water less frequently during the growing season.

3. Fertilization: It is advisable to fertilize durian three times a year. Fertilize when the flower buds appear in spring to provide them with sufficient nutrients. Only when the flowers bloom well can the fruits be large. Fertilizing in the summer when the fruit is developing will help the fruit expand. Fertilizer can also be applied before picking fruits to add nutrients to the plants.
