Chamomile are flowering herbs with daisy-like flowers. Many are aromatic, and some are harvested or cultivated for making various products such as cosmetics, herbal teas, and insect repellents. Chamomile are native to the Mediterranean and southwest Asia. Some species have become naturalized in other parts of the world. They are ecologically significant as exclusive food plants form some species of moths.
Water:
Thriving in temperate regions, chamomile prefers moderate watering and consistent moisture. It can withstand brief dryness but should be watered weekly for optimal health. While it benefits from natural rainfall, supplemental watering may be necessary during prolonged dry periods to support growth.
Propagation:
Chamomile is primarily propagated by seeds, which should be sown on a light, well-draining soil mix and lightly pressed to ensure germination. Maintain a temperature of 18-22°C. Transplant seedlings once they have true leaves, requiring careful handling due to their delicate nature.
