Germinated durian seed, 2nd try

The durian seedling a planted some time back didn't survive last time. It's durian season again so plenty of seeds for me to try again. A few did germinate and chose the most promising one to pot.

Buried the whole thing in a pot. Hopefully it can find out which way is up.

Covered the whole thing with soil. 

Hopefully this one can last longer than the first.

Found another seed that germinated. Will plant this too.

Durian Tree - 3 weeks old

Durian tree is now 3 weeks old. You can see pictures of it a week earlier here.

Small leaves are forming.

Where to plant lah ??? (part 2)

Still don't know where to plant my first germinated durian seed  so I left it in small plastic container with some perlite.


After a week I forgot about it until this morning when I saw the "root" thingy jutting out of the perlite.

Pulled it out of the perlite and surprised to see little tiny roots from the big root thingy !!


Same dilemma. Where to plant lah ??

Where to plant lah ?

Now that it germinated where to plant this durian kampung seed? And what kind of soil or pot can I use?

My durian seed actually germinated!

 

It's durian season and of course I was browsing the internet on the iPad reading about people germinating durian seeds successfully (while eating a durian with my other hand). So instead of throwing away the seed I saved one to see if it can germinate.

Soaked the seed for about 3 days in shallow water in tupperware and the durian seed actually germinated.

Not really planning to get actual fruits from this but as a fun experiment to grow a durian tree as a houseplant. 

Will post pictures of it as it grows (and as long as it survives!!)

Any advice on what type of soil and pot I should transplant this in?
