How to care for Hungarian Chamomile

Difficulty

With its straightforward care requirements, Hungarian Chamomile is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Water

Hungarian Chamomile should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Hungarian Chamomile loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Hungarian Chamomile prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Toxicity

Hungarian Chamomile is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Growth-pattern

New growth will sprout from the top of the Hungarian Chamomile as it grows vertically.
