Soil Nutrient Requirements
You’ll need some red earth, cattle manure, and sand. In a wheelbarrow or other container, mix 2 parts red earth to 1 part manure and 1 part sand. Fill the planting tray with this mixture.
If you plan to sow the seeds directly outdoors, fill the planting hole with this mixture before sowing the seeds. Plant the sandalwood seeds in a small container, such as a recycled carton or a planting tray. Fill the container with the prepared potting mix. Place the seeds ¾-1 inch (1.75-2.54 centimeters) below the surface of the soil.
Sowing Method
Give a bit of water every day, but avoid waterlogging the soil, since the sandalwood tree prefers dry conditions. You should see the seeds begin to sprout within 4 to 8 weeks.
