Water: Originating from semi-arid regions, mixed chamomile is drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering, approximately once a week. Its water storage capability supports periods of dryness. Thriving outdoors in temperate zones, mixed chamomile benefits from natural rainfall, enhancing its growth during the growing season.

Fertilize: Fertilize mixed chamomile monthly with balanced nutrients during the growing season, using high nitrogen in early stages. Avoid over-fertilization and use half the rate for houseplants. Adjust frequency in winter, and opt for granular or diluted liquid forms to maintain health and vibrancy.

Pruning: Mixed chamomile showcases lush foliage and daisy-like flowers, ideal for gardens. Prune from early to late spring by removing damaged stems and thinning crowded areas to encourage a bushier growth. Regular pruning improves air circulation, preventing disease and promoting vibrant blooms. Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagation: Mixed chamomile propagates best by sowing in well-draining, organic-rich soil. Scatter seeds thinly, cover lightly, and maintain consistent moisture without overwatering. Provide adequate sunlight and protection from extremes to promote healthy growth for successful establishment of new mixed chamomile plants.
