Chandan Plant Care Instructions:

Water: If you get a period of dry weather, water the sandalwood tree. Twice per week, give it half a litre (.5 quart) of water. It is best to water sandalwood in the evening, which prevents excessive evaporation.

Soil: Sandalwood trees can be grown in any well-drained soils having good organic matter. However, red sandy loam soils are best for their growth and yield. If you are planning for commercial cultivation of sandalwood, it is advised to go for a soil test and fulfil the nutrient requirements in the soil based on soil test results. Sandalwood grows better in slightly alkaline soils with a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5.

Climate: Sandalwood crop requires and grows well in hot and humid climate conditions. The ideal temperature for sandalwood tree growth is between 12 and 35 degree celcius.

Fertilizer: Use Organic and chemical fertilizer to grow Chandan plant. Well rotten farmyard manure (FYM) like cow dung, garden compost, vermin-compost or any manure made from green leaves can be used.
