Important: Sandalwood Needs a Host Plant
Indian sandalwood is a root hemiparasite. Its roots connect with a compatible host plant to obtain part of the water and nutrients required for healthy growth. Planting sandalwood alone may result in weak or slow development.
Suggested combination: use pigeon pea (tuvar/arhar) as an early host and establish a suitable long-term host such as neem, pongamia or acacia nearby. Keep enough space so both plants receive sunlight and airflow.
Recommended Potting Mix
Use a loose, airy and fast-draining growing medium. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soil.
Potting Mix
What is Garden Soil?
Clean, loose topsoil with a loamy texture—not sticky clay, construction debris or chemically contaminated soil.
Adds gentle organic nutrition. Do not overuse.
Maintains balanced moisture without making the mix heavy.
