Growing chamomile on your own windowsill

  • The ideal place for this flower is in the kitchen. It is in this room that it can bloom all year round, but sufficient lighting remains the main condition. Chamomile loves sunny, so the south side is best suited for it.
  • Watering. This point should also be given special attention - the soil should be constantly wet, but waterlogging should not be allowed. Drying out of the compost can also negatively affect the delicate plant.
  • Frequent spraying with water (you can carry out this procedure even daily) will also like chamomile, for this you need to use warm, settled water.
  • The plant should be fertilized from early spring to autumn.
  • It is worth replanting chamomile only when the roots fill the entire pot.

An interesting fact - next to diseased plants, chamomile acts as a doctor and helps them quickly return to a healthy state.

As far as I understand, in order to grow chamomile at home, you will definitely need seeds. I wonder if you need to get them yourself or can you buy them ready-made?

You can also collect seeds yourself, since medicinal chamomile is not such a rare plant. The question is whether such seeds are suitable for planting. Will the flower rise?
