Water: Originating from moderate climates, chervils prefers consistently moist soil and benefits from weekly watering. It is moderately drought-tolerant and thrives indoors where humidity and temperature are regulated. Adequate water during the growing season is vital for its delicate foliage and healthy growth.

Propagation: To propagate chervils, sow seeds in well-drained soil, ensuring moisture and light exposure, ideally at 15-20°C (59-68°F). Avoid excessive soil coverage to prevent germination issues. Steps include preparing the seedbed, sowing thinly, maintaining moisture, thinning seedlings, and transplanting when established.
