How to Propagate Chamomiles?
Chamomiles can be propagated primarily by seed sowing, division, or cuttings. Successful propagation requires well-draining soil, adequate light exposure, and a temperature range conducive to growth. Seed germination may require stratification for optimal results. Propagation by division or cuttings is typically easier and faster. Overall, propagating chamomiles is generally of moderate difficulty, though handling delicate seedlings or ensuring cuttings take root can be challenging. To propagate from seed: (1) Sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining soil mix, lightly pressing in. (2) Maintain consistent moisture and a temperature of 18-22°C, avoiding direct sunlight. (3) Transplant seedlings when they are large enough to handle. For division, separate mature plants in the early spring or autumn. Cuttings should be taken from new growth, dipped in rooting hormone, and placed in a starter mix until roots develop.
