Care Tips

Place your Durian plant in the sunniest spot available. Water deeply 2–3 times a week and ensure the pot or bed has excellent drainage — waterlogged roots are the #1 enemy of Durian. Feed monthly with a balanced NPK fertiliser during the growing season. In cooler months, move potted plants indoors or to a sheltered, warm spot.

Best suited for tropical and sub-tropical climates — Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, and similar regions of India.
