Durian is a fruit that is dubbed as the king of
fruit or the King of all fruits. This tropical fruit is favored by many people
because it tastes sweet and it smelled delicious but not few people who don't
like fruit.
This fruit has a varied prices range from cheap to
expensive prices for certain types such as durian montong. So, it is not
uncommon to those who choose to plant the fruit itself.
The increasingly narrow land makes people plant
the durian inside the pot. Plants in pots or fruit known as Durian plant is
increasingly an option. In contrast to plant a durian in the land, planting in
pots has its own way.
Because the plant does not like usual, the fruit
produced is difficult to grow to its full potential so that it takes special
care in order to grow properly. It should be noted that before the plant is
preparing the planting medium containing nutrient elements required by the
durian trees.

| The Technique Of Planting Crops Fruit Durian In A Pot |
TABULAMPOT is an acronym of Fruits in a Pot and some
recently popular term in recent years. We will discuss about how to plant the
fruit durian in the pot. Who is not interested in the taste of durian fruit is
legit? Yes, this one is very popular because of its delicacy and people and the
enjoyment of the fruits of Java. Therefore, there is a little person who is
addicted to eating fruit with thorns. This prickly fruit growing prestige
soared along with the taste of sweet and delicious. In fact, the term gained
its durian fruits. Not only that, many people also want to cultivate its own
durian in the courtyard house or garden. For that, there is a way to plant a
durian in a pot that is easy and practical.
Along with the progress of the age including
business fruits in a pot that began to develop then a lot of people who call
the term cultivation of durian in a pot Plant as Durian (a fruit plant in a
pot). Indeed, the durian is not the kind of plants that are easily grown in a
medium pot. How to plant a durian in a pot requires extra time and effort. Good
durian plant actually directly in the media for planting directly on the
ground. Many things can cause the failure of planting a durian in the media
like that. It's just that, durian was still able to grow on media Plant Durian.
How to plant a durian in a pot isn't easier
& tastier as the land directly. Typically, the durian flowers are
planted in pots are difficult to grow optimally. Even to be a ripe fruit is
very difficult. Not uncommon fruit can last up to adulthood and then fall out
by itself. Good durian plant requires extensive planting media and unlimited.
For, including durian plant type large rooted and extends to the side.
Therefore, pot media less suitable for durian.
Prepare
Seeds
Plant seed is the very thing that determines the
level of success Plant Durian. There are two kinds of seed plants, namely
seedlings generative reproduction results (from seeds) and vegetative
reproduction results seedlings (grafting, grafting and green).
For the cultivation of fruits durian seeds we
recommend using vegetative reproduction results. Excess seedlings results i.e.
vegetative nature of its vegetation can be ascertained, as same as the nature
of its parent. So his success more predictable. In addition, the seeds are
vegetative reproduction more quickly bear fruit. This type of root seedlings
shortage is less strong that plants easily collapsed or experienced a drought.
The success rate of durian in a pot plant is
largely determined by seed plants. Therefore choose seeds that we know exactly
its properties. Free of pests and diseases of plants. To make sure the seeds
are usually already have a certificate from a trusted institution.
Prepare The
Planting Media
Soil and organic material in the tropics
usually have a fairly high level of acidity. When planting media materials is too
acid combine agricultural limestone or dolomite into it.
The media pot that has a very limited volume
of limiting the growth of the root. Finally, the need for the plant nutrient
elements will be dormant. Well, in order to overcome it should provide the
needs of the plants with the fulfillment of the nutrient elements as needed in
the media the pot. How to plant a durian in a pot is more in need of special
care and attention. That way, the plant can also grow as usual. To that end,
planting good durian on the media pot should also think of the intake of
nutrients or nutrients to plants. Because, intake of nutrients for the plants
can keep growth remain excellent.
The planting medium required planting a durian
in a pot is by mixing manure with clay and use a 1:1 comparison. The durian
plant still in the sack and then immersed in a land that has been perforated
before approximately the size of the bag or place those plants. This is because
the media pot can only be used when the small plants to grow up. Then, durian
should be transferred to the soil before the ground must be perforated. The
size of the hole is adjusted to the size of the polybags on pot. Previously,
the land was given artificial fertilizers as supporting the fertility of the
soil. Commonly used fertilizers is phosphorus fertilizer in the form of TSP
with a rate of 2 tablespoons or 20 grams.
On the basis of the land, then was given
fertilizer phosphorus, TSP, with a dose of2 tbsp or 20 gr that are meant to be
able to optimize the growth of roots. Don't forget to be given an equal number
of furadan i.e. 2 HR meant to deny the presence of pathogenic bacteria.
After preparing the planting medium, then
prepare a pot as a container. Types of pots can be made of clay, metal drums,
plastic, cement or wood. Pot of wood-fired clay and very good for the plant
because of the Durian have pores so that the humidity and temperature of the media
growing more stable. However, the disadvantage of these materials is not
durable.
A good container must have legs or
pedestal base that separate the pots with soil. This is important for a flow of
drainage and facilitate supervision in order to plant roots cannot penetrate
the soil.
Planting The
Seeds Of The Plant
The following steps
for planting the seeds of the plant into a container:
~
Prepare
the planting media materials, then sift and scoop out the gravel-gravel that exists therein.
Mix the ingredients until evenly distributed.
~
Prepare
the pot with the size adapted to the size of the plant. We recommend that you
start from a small pot size. So when the plant gets bigger pot can be replaced, as well as markers for
rejuvenating the planting media.
~
Place
the shards of tile on the bottom of the pot, one layer only. Then place one
layer also were roofed with or coir.
~
Then
fill with prepared growing media up to half the height of the pot.
~
To
reduce evaporation, prune some leaf or stem plant seed. Then open polybag plant
seed, put it right in the midst of a pot. Cover the planting medium up to the
base of the stem.
~
Compress
media planting around the base of the stem, make sure the plants are already strong. Flush
with water to retain moisture.
~
Store
that Durian Plant in place of the rather shady to adapt. Flush every morning or
afternoon. After one week, the Durian Plant put out in the open.
Durian In A
Pot Plant Care
a. Watering
The Durian plant that has been so should be in
place in the open and exposed to the light of the Sun completely. On a drought
watering is done every day, can be morning or afternoon. In the rainy season is
only done if the media watering planting looks dry. Watering using hoses to
water
When the number of Plants, watering a lot of
Durian can be programmed by building irrigation systems. The irrigation system
is the most suitable drip irrigation. This labor efficient irrigation,
water-saving and easily controlled. But requires considerable investment.
b. Trimming
There are at least three goal trimming Plants,
namely the formation of the Durian plant, trimming for trimming production and
rejuvenation. Pruning is done to form the shape of a new header and set the
posture of the plant so that sunlight can penetrate all parts of the plant. In
addition to the two functions that, trimming form is also related to
aesthetics.
One common theory in the form of the Durian
Plant pruning is 1-3-9. That means, in any 1 there is a maximum of 3 primary
stem stems secondary and secondary maximum trunk 1 there are 3 tertiary stems.
The stems are selected to be left to grow healthy and strong is, at the same
time also have the aesthetic elements in plants.
Trimming production deals with the function of
crop production. Pruning is done against the water to stimulate the flowering
shoots. In addition, the trimming done to stem that looks diseased.
Rejuvenation pruning, last done against plants
that have been old. Durian on the plant an old planting media replacement is
usually done and pot (repotting). In this phase, some of the branches need to
be pruned. Even in some cases leaving only the primary trunk only.
c. Fertilization
The Durian Plant media has limited nutritional
reserves. Therefore, fertilization is very vital. The first fertilization was
done one month after planting. Next up is done every 3-4 months.
Fertilizer should organic fertilizers are
used. Its kind can compost, manure or organic liquid fertilizer. Although not
as accurate as nutrient content of chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers
have more complete nutrient elements. Besides the addition of organic materials
will stimulate biological activity within the media.
Chemical fertilizers are needed on certain
occasions only. For example, at the time of flowering and pollination, plants
require macro nutrient elements such as P and K in large quantities. And some
elements of such micro-Ca, Mn, Fe, etc. In the chemical fertilizer elements can
be ascertained that the overdose.
d. Control of Pests
and Diseases
Control of pests and diseases in plants Durian
should be done early on, i.e. Since picking seedlings. Seeds usually have a
resistance to certain pests and diseases. Buy seeds from a trustworthy source
and have a certificate of seed.
The prevention of pests and diseases can also
be done by maintaining the cleanliness of the planting medium and gardens.
Weeds and shrubs around the garden can be a source of pests and diseases.
When Durian Plant already downloaded before
cancellation of developing pests or disease, the first step could be eradicated
manually. For example, by picking up worms that attack or trim the branches
affected by the disease.
By the time the Plants bear fruit Durian, protect
your fruit with a protective plastic
or net. Or can also be by
placing a trap pests, such as the use
of hormonal pheromones for trapping fruit flies.
Spraying Crops with pesticides into the
dilemma of Durian. Plants are usually planted in the grounds of the Durian
which is close to the settlement. Chemical pesticides of course will be very
dangerous and polluting the environment. Therefore, always use organic
pesticides. Please read about the organic pesticides.
In a very forced, spraying with chemical
pesticides can be done. Do carefully, read the rules and a dose of life
carefully. Spraying should be done to a limited extent.
e. Turn the
media and pot
The Durian plant has
reached a certain size needs to be moved. The Durian Plant room should
be sufficient to sustain the space motion of
the plant. The transfer is done with the turn
of the planting media.
The turn in the plant growing media not only
Durian function move the plants in larger pots only. It should be also done
trimming rejuvenation. For example, trimming the roots of plants. The roots of
the plant continues to grow will make planting media becomes solid.
Root length over 25 cm must be trimmed. Root
density should also be reduced. Along with trimming the roots, leaves and stems
also trimmed to reduce evaporation.

How To Harvest
The Durian
The durian plant harvest vary depending of the
type of the varieties of seed used and planted. For local durian (native to
Indonesia), it can generally be harvested for planting at the age of 8 to 10
years. While this type of durian montong can be harvested after age plant reach
3 to 4 years from the time of planting.
How to harvest that durian is very easy. Just
wait until it's own fall from durian tree. Then quoted and ready to be enjoyed.
