Sandalwoods is a hardy plant genus tolerant of varying light, water, and temperature conditions. These perennials generally prefer well-drained soil and moderate sun. They are drought-resistant, requiring minimal irrigation, but do not tolerate frost well. Common challenges include insect pests, fungal diseases, and root rot due to overwatering. Seasonally, sandalwoods plants may need extra watering in hot summers, and in winter, protection from frost is recommended. Properly timed pruning after flowering can promote healthy growth.
