Water: Chamomiles thrives in temperate zones, requiring consistent moisture and avoiding both waterlogged and dry soil. Weekly watering maintains balance, particularly in container gardening. Preferring full sun, chamomiles's irrigation needs increase during the active growing season.

Propagation: Chamomiles propagates by seed sowing, division, or cuttings, requiring well-draining soil and adequate light. Seed germination may need stratification. Maintain 18-22°C (64-72°F) for seeds, transplanting seedlings when ready. Separate mature plants in spring or autumn for division, and use rooting hormone for cuttings.
