Red Chandan, also known as Red Sandalwood or Rakta Chandan, is a premium and highly valuable aromatic tree known for its deep red heartwood, used in Ayurvedic medicine, skincare, pooja items, natural dyes, and high-value timber. This variety is admired for its rich color, strong therapeutic properties, and excellent long-term value.

The plant grows steadily and develops into a beautiful ornamental tree, suitable for pots during early years and later for gardens, farms, and spiritual spaces. Healthy nursery plants ensure fast establishment, strong root development, and high-quality heartwood formation as the tree matures.

To keep it thriving:
Maintain temperature between 20°C to 38°C.
Provide 57 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Water 12 times a week, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Use well-drained red or sandy loam soil enriched lightly with compost.
Plant near a host plant (like pigeon pea, lemon, or neem) because Red Chandan is semi-parasitic.
Feed sparingly every 4560 days with mild organic fertilizer.
Keep the base free from weeds to avoid nutrient competition.
Apply neem oil monthly to prevent leaf pests and fungal issues.
