Casting the Palisander tree is the biggest care challenge. The substrate should always be slightly damp, but never too wet.
Casting is always only when the upper layer of soil has dried. Use lukewarm rainwater. Kalkhaltiges water is not suitable.
How is the rosewood fertilized?
In spring and summer, the Palisanderbaum receives liquid fertilizer with the irrigation water at weekly intervals.
When is repotting necessary?
Younger trees are potted every two years, but older palisander trees are less likely to transplant. Time to repot is when the pot is completely rooted.
Use lime-free potting soil. For example, azalea earth is well suited for rosewood.
Repotting is done in early spring.
What should be considered when cutting?
Rosewood is good cut tolerant. For the first three years, you should refrain from cutting, unless you pull it as a bonsai.
The strongest pruning occurs in spring. Later, cut off protruding shoots. At the interfaces, the rosewood branches again, creating a bushier form.
Which diseases and pests should be considered?
Too much wetness of the Palisanderbaum reacts with root rot. Avoid waterlogging and pour rather less than too much.
If the humidity is too low, spider mites appear, which you can recognize by the small webs in the leaf axils.
If the palisander becomes bare at the bottom, the location is not bright enough. By pruning you stimulate the formation of new shoots.
How is the Palisander tree wintered?
The Palisanderbaum is not hardy and must be wintered frost-free. Temperatures around 15 degrees are ideal. At the winter location it has to be as bright as possible.
Tips
The Palisanderbaum can be quite easily self-propagate. Either the seed is grown or you cut cuttings.
