1. 🌱 How to Sow

Scatter very fine chamomile seed on top of moist nursery media and press gently. As the seed needs light for good establishment, avoid covering heavily.

2. ☀️ Sunlight, Soil & Water

• Light: Grow in sunny to lightly shaded mild-weather positions; protect new seedlings from extreme heat.
• Soil: Use a clean, loose, fertile-enough mix with unobstructed drainage. Avoid waterlogged containers.
• Watering: Keep trays gently damp; established plants need moderate watering without pooling.

3. 🌿 Fertilizer & Growth Care

Usually little fertilizer is necessary if the soil has modest organic matter.

4. 🐛 Common Pests & Prevention

Check flowers and young shoots for aphids or thrips; maintain plant hygiene. Inspect plants weekly, remove damaged foliage and avoid automatic pesticide spraying. If treatment is required, use only a locally authorised product labelled for the edible crop and observe all label directions.

5. 🛡️ Diseases & Prevention

Prevent damping-off and stem rot with clean mix, good drainage and airflow. Isolate heavily affected plants and seek local horticultural advice if symptoms spread.

6. ✂️ Harvesting / Flowering

For ornamental or correctly identified culinary-flower use, pick clean flower heads after they are fully developed. Confirm species and suitability before consumption; avoid medical claims.
