How to fertilize small-leaf red sandalwood

Growth habits of red sandalwood

First of all, rosewood is a tropical plant. It is produced in tropical and subtropical primeval forests. It likes plenty of sunlight and cannot tolerate low temperatures. Every year, 20℃-30℃ in spring, summer, autumn and winter is its best growing environment. So the temperature for its growth in winter should not be lower than 3℃, which will help its growth. At the same time, do not fertilize too frequently. So how do you fertilize in spring and winter? Here’s how.

Fertilization method

The most suitable fertilizer for small-leaf sandalwood is compound fertilizer, and the frequency of fertilization is very low.

spring

In spring, place it in an environment with sufficient sunlight. The plant of red sandalwood likes sunlight very much. If it is often placed in front of a desk or in a shady place in the house, it will be detrimental to its growth. Unlike other plants, red sandalwood is not a cold-resistant plant. Dalbergia small-leaf does not have very high requirements for fertilizer, and the frequency and amount of fertilization should not be too frequent. Every one or two months, drop the plant's nutrient solution into a spray can, shake it evenly, and then pour it on the soil.

winter

In winter, the outdoor temperature is relatively low, so it is best to move the plants indoors to prevent them from being frostbitten. Unlike in spring, when applying fertilizer in winter, do not bury nutrient soil in the deep soil of the plant, especially when the plant has grown luxuriant branches and leaves and its root system has penetrated deep into the soil or potted plant. Excessive fertilization will not only cause the leaves to turn yellow, but may also damage the roots of the plant.

Whether you are planting it or not, you must remember that the time and amount of fertilizing small-leaf red sandalwood should be moderate in both spring and winter.
