The caterpillar-like plant grows in flower pots; just pinch off a branch and it will live, and in 1 month it will fill a large tub.

What does white sandalwood actually look like?

Some people, like Huahua, think white sandalwood looks like a caterpillar, while others think it looks like little fingers. What do you fellow flower lovers think?

Grow white sandalwood like this, and it will quickly fill the pot!

If you want white sandalwood to quickly fill the pot, daily care is essential.

1. Give it plenty of sun

If you want white sandalwood to quickly fill the pot, it must get plenty of sun. For those growing it indoors, place it in a south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill with good light. If conditions allow, growing it on an outdoor terrace or in a yard is best.

2. Be careful with watering!

White sandalwood goes dormant in winter and watering must be stopped. In spring, start giving it sun. When flower buds appear, do not water at all. You must wait until the flower buds have grown to more than 1 cm before watering. If you water too early, white sandalwood will grow small offsets, the flower buds will basically shrivel, and it will not bloom.

3. Add a little compound fertilizer casually, and it will immediately fill the pot!

Many flower lovers can grow white sandalwood well without fertilizing, but if your white sandalwood never grows, Huahua still recommends adding some fertilizer. When repotting, you can add a few granules of compound fertilizer, and normally you can also pour a little 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution into the pot.

4. It needs a chill to bloom more!

If your white sandalwood never blooms, or blooms only once and then never again, it must be because it was not given a cold period in winter! White sandalwood goes dormant in winter, and only after vernalization will it bloom more. In the south, it can be grown outdoors all year. In the north, it can be taken back indoors after frost, but be careful not to let it freeze and get damaged, so as to ensure white sandalwood blooms more the next year!

Pinch off a branch and it will live; a must-have for clumsy growers!

As a very easy-to-grow variety among cacti, white sandalwood is also super simple to propagate!

1. Cut a segment of branch directly from the mother white sandalwood plant and place it in a cool, ventilated place to let the wound dry slightly.

2. Prepare loose, breathable nutrient soil, bury the white sandalwood branch slightly into the soil, and it will root in about 2-3 weeks!
