Onderhoudsinstructies
German chamomile prefers full sun and moderate temperatures. It should be watered regularly but allowed to dry out partially between waterings. The plant thrives in moderate humidity and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. It is relatively easy to care for and does not require extensive maintenance.Oogst
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is typically ready for harvest about 8 to 10 weeks after planting, when the flowers are fully open but before the petals begin to droop. Harvesting is best done in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day. The flowers should be hand-picked or cut using scissors or shears, ensuring to leave some flowers on the plant to encourage further blooming. After harvesting, the flowers should be dried in a well-ventilated, shaded area to preserve their quality.Bodem
German chamomile prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The soil should be kept moderately moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
A balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10 can be applied during the growing season. Fertilize sparingly, as over-fertilization can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Verpotten
Repotting is generally not necessary for annual plants like German chamomile. However, if grown indoors, it can be repotted if it outgrows its container. Repot in the early spring before the growing season begins.Voortplanting
German chamomile can be propagated by seeds. Sow the seeds in early spring directly into the soil or start them indoors a few weeks before the last frost. The seeds require light to germinate, so do not cover them with soil.Snoeien
Pruning is not required for German chamomile. However, deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prevent the plant from self-seeding excessively.Toxiciteit
German chamomile is generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans. However, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the plant, especially if they are sensitive to other members of the Asteraceae family.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
