Red sandalwood tree live plant (1 healthy live plant)

Features

• Climate and location: Red sandalwood thrives in a tropical or subtropical climate. It requires a warm, humid environment with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 95°F (21°C to 35°C). Choose a location that receives ample sunlight and protection from strong winds.
• Soil requirements: Red sandalwood prefers well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy or clayey, improve its drainage by adding sand or organic amendments like compost.
• Propagation: Red sandalwood can be propagated from seeds or through vegetative methods like stem cuttings. Seeds are the most common method. Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before sowing. Fill seedling trays or pots with a well-draining potting mix and sow the seeds at a depth of about 1 inch. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can take several weeks to a few months.
• Watering: Young red sandalwood plants need regular watering to establish a healthy root system. Once established, they are moderately drought-tolerant. Water the plants deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
• Pruning: Red sandalwood can benefit from pruning to shape the tree and remove dead or damaged branches. Prune during the dormant season to minimize stress on the plant. Use clean, sharp pruning tools to make clean cuts.
