Bursera graveolens

A legendary and highly aromatic tree native to the seasonally dry tropical regions of the Americas. Famous globally as Palo Santo ("Holy Wood"), this sacred species develops a beautifully sculptural, pale bark that gives it an elegant, bonsai-like appearance. Every part of the plant exudes an incredible, soothing citrus and frankincense aroma when brushed, making it a highly unique and meaningful addition to any collection.

• Light: Bright direct light to full sun; requires high light intensity to maintain its sturdy structure.
• Temperature: 60–85°F (15–29°C); thrives in intermediate to warm conditions and must be protected from freezing cold.
• Humidity: 30–50%; easily tolerates low to moderate household humidity, making it exceptionally resilient indoors.
• Watering: Allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings, mimicking its native dry-season cycle; reduce watering dramatically if it drops its leaves for dormancy.

Additional Notes

Growing this plant in a highly porous, gritty succulent mix ensures excellent drainage and healthy roots. Highly celebrated for its aromatic and historical value, it naturally adapts into a magnificent, easy-care container specimen. Ships bare root and well established; please pot it into a well-draining substrate and place it in a bright, sunny spot upon arrival.
