Chamomile
Chamomile
Chamomile produces small, white flowers that stand out brightly among the green leaves and emit a pleasant fragrance.
It is commonly used in herbal teas, aromatherapy (fragrance), and other applications. It is cold-hardy, resilient, and very easy to cultivate.

Ideal ambient temperature: around 15~20°C. |
Although they need water, if the soil is too waterlogged (soaked), the seeds will rot due to lack of oxygen. |
|
Avoid soil drying The soil must be kept moist. If it is too dry, the seeds will not be able to absorb water and will fail to germinate. |
Until it sprouts, place it in a shady place for half a day. Avoid direct sunlight; place in a semi-shaded area (with diffused light). |
|
1. Spread the seeds evenly on the soil surface, avoiding overlapping. 2. Then gently cover with soil. |

Please scatter the seeds so that they do not overlap on the soil , and then gently press the seeds and soil together with your fingers to make them adhere. Note: Since these are pre-made soil blocks, there is usually no need to cover them with additional soil. Instead, gently press them down to ensure close contact between the seeds and the soil blocks. |

Post-germination management
Watering method :
After germination and in the early stages of growth, water gently with a fine mist (such as a sprayer) to avoid washing away the seedlings with a strong flow of water. Water thoroughly when the soil surface is dry.
 |
Thinning (shortening seedlings) To avoid overcrowding of seedlings, thinning is necessary to adjust the spacing between plants to facilitate ventilation and healthy growth. Row spacing (between plants) : 4–6 cm Number of seedlings to retain per hole : 2-3 |
 |
Sunlight and ventilation Plants need plenty of sunlight and good ventilation. Please place the plant in a sunny and well-ventilated location to help prevent diseases and promote healthy growth. |
Possible reasons why seeds fail to germinate
- Inappropriate temperature <br />The ideal temperature for germination is 15–20°C . Please confirm that the sowing environment is maintained within the appropriate temperature range.
- The soil is too dry . If the soil is not moist enough, the seeds will dry out, which will lead to a decrease in germination rate.
- Too much moisture in the soil will prevent the seeds from breathing and may even cause them to rot, thus affecting germination.
- Seed aging or individual differences <br>If the seeds are too old or of poor quality, the germination rate will be lower.
Causes of plant wilting
Reason 1: Overwatering (root rot)
Reason 1: Overwatering (root rot)
Another reason is over-care and excessive daily watering.
If the soil is too wet, the roots cannot breathe and will rot and die. The roots will shrink and disappear, turn brown, and become thin and fragile.
Reason 2: Dryness
If you forget to water your plants, the soil will dry out and the plants will wither.
The leaves will become dry and brittle.
If there is still moisture in the leaves, water them thoroughly.
They might be able to recover.
Reason 3: Lack of sunlight (Extended)
If the seedlings do not receive enough sunlight after germination, the stems will grow too quickly and eventually break under the weight of the flower heads, causing the plant to wither. Make sure the plant receives ample sunlight and avoid overwatering.
Reason 4: The temperature is not suitable
Every plant has its optimal growth temperature.
Both excessively high and low temperatures can slow down plant growth and even cause plants to wither.
