Matricaria suaveolens

German chamomile thrives best in locations that enjoy plenty of daily sunlight, due to its origins in open spaces. Although it can tolerate a quieter midday sun, its growth could be impeded in environments lacking sufficient light. However, an overexposure can also inflict stressful conditions.

German chamomile originates from temperate weather conditions and is most content within a temperature spectrum of 68 to 95 °F (20 to 35 ℃). During periods of intense temperatures, minor modifications may be required to secure the plant's longevity and development.

When the majority of blossoms on the German chamomile have fully unfurled, it's an appropriate time to recommence fertilization. Start a new fertilization cycle every three to four weeks as the climate allows, corresponding with the period of maximum flowering. Once the German chamomile begins to generate fewer fresh blossoms, cease fertilizing. There is no requirement for additional fertilization when the plant has reached its bloom production limit.

While transferring German chamomile to another pot, opt for a container that is 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) wider in diameter with adequate drainage. Employ a potting mix with excellent draining properties, and think about incorporating perlite for additional draining capacity. Carry out the repotting activity in the spring or the start of summer, then hydrate the plant completely and place it in a shaded spot for the initial period.
