Santalum Album Seeds for Planting | Indian Sandalwood | Fragrant Evergreen Tree for Gardens & Outdoors

Soak the Seeds: Immerse the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours to soften their hard outer shell. This helps improve the chances of successful germination.

Prepare the Soil: Santalum album thrives in well-draining, sandy soil. For the best results, mix sand, loam, and organic compost to create a nutrient-rich growing medium. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged.

Plant the Seeds: Plant the soaked seeds in a hole approximately 5-7 inches deep in the prepared soil mix. Gently cover the seeds with soil and press it down lightly to ensure good contact between the seed and the soil.

Create the Right Environment: Santalum album seeds require warm and humid conditions to sprout. Place the pot or container in a bright location with indirect sunlight and maintain a temperature range of 77-86°F. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering.

Monitor Germination: Expect germination to occur within 2-3 weeks. Once the seeds have sprouted, continue to keep the seedlings in a warm and bright environment, avoiding direct sunlight. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
