Dalbergia bariostrobus, a member of the Fabaceae family, is a deciduous tree. It is a high-quality wood among the檀woods, characterized by its high density and small pores, as well as its extremely stable wood texture, which resists warping and cracking. The wood is hard, and its color changes from red-brown to purple-black after being handled, displaying a variety of patterns and a fine grain.
Care Tips for Lignum Vitae
Moisture
The Indian rosewood requires a higher moisture content, so we need to water it frequently, ideally every 2-3 days, and try to maintain a humid environment.
2. Fertilization
Appropriate fertilization and ventilation, placing it in a well-ventilated area, promotes the respiration of the Lignum Vitae with small leaves. Fertilization doesn't need to be frequent; approximately once a month, applying a nutrient solution is sufficient.
3. Arrangement
Once placed in a suitable location, avoid frequently moving the Lignum Vitae as it, like people, adapts and becomes dependent on its environment.
4. Pest Control
Pest control is also crucial for cultivating Suar wood, and regular insecticide sprays can prevent pests from eating the leaves.
