Dalbergia Sissoo, Indian Rosewood Plant

Dalbergia sisssoo, commonly known as Indian rosewood or Sheesham, is a hardy tree but does require some care to thrive. Here are five tips for maintaining a healthy plant:

Light Requirements: Ensure the plant receives full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. While it can tolerate partial shade, it thrives best in bright, direct light.

Soil Conditions: Use well-draining soil. A mix of loamy soil with some sand or perlite can help prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Watering: Water the plant regularly but allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can be detrimental, especially during the dormant season.

Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). A slow-release fertilizer is ideal, or you can use a diluted liquid fertilizer every few weeks.

Pruning and Maintenance: Prune to remove any dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree. Regular maintenance helps promote healthy growth and air circulation.

By following these tips, your Dalbergia sisssoo should thrive!
