Temperature requirements for chamomile

Chamomile likes a cool environment, so it has strong cold resistance. It is suitable to sow in autumn, and the temperature during germination should be kept within the range of 15-18℃. Generally, the seeds will germinate 7-10 days after sowing. The editor would like to remind you that the temperature of chamomile should not be too high during the seedling stage, and should be kept within the range of 13-16°C, otherwise it will easily become diseased.

Chamomile soil requirements

Chamomile does not have high requirements for soil. It can choose well-drained sandy soil or deep and loose soil.

Fertilization requirements for chamomile

It is best to fertilize once a month during the chamomile growth period and control the amount of fertilizer, otherwise it will delay the chamomile flowering period.

Impact of pests and diseases

Leaf spot and stem rot are diseases that chamomile is more susceptible to. The control method is to spray with 600 times diluted 65% mancozeb wettable powder. Insect pests include blind bugs and leaf miners, which can be sprayed with 500 times diluted 25% carbaryl wettable powder.
