How to get licence for sandalwood plantation

Article SummaryX

If you want to grow a healthy sandalwood tree, it’s important to plant it where it will thrive and to give it proper care. To germinate sandalwood seeds, sow them in a mixture of red earth, cattle manure, and sand, then water them every day until they begin to sprout.

Once the seedlings are a month old, transplant them outside in a sunny area that gets moderate rainfall and stays between 53 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, plant your sandalwood sapling within 1 meter from a host plant that produces fixed nitrogen, a natural fertilizer, like a long-lived wattle or casuarina.

As your tree grows, water it twice per week during dry periods and regularly prune back the host plant or it’ll end up overshadowing your sandalwood. For more help from our Horticulturist co-author, like how to protect your sandalwood from pests, read on!
