Great News! Chamomile is one of the easiest herbs to grow from seed. Whether you’re an expert gardener or someone who can’t keep a cactus alive, you can feel confident growing our seed paper! Follow our blog to find out exactly how to grow your chamomile seed paper covers, what to expect, and some extra tips!
Growing Indoors
If you intend to grow your Chamomile seed paper indoors, it is important that you have a sunny window that the seedlings can thrive in, as Chamomile needs sunlight to grow. The best spot for growing your chamomile seed paper indoors would be in a south or west facing window that gets at least 6 hours of bright sunlight. Chamomile can be planted 6-8 weeks before you plan to transport them outdoors.
How to Plant Your Chamomile Seed Paper Inside
1. Tear up your seed paper into 6 smaller pieces
2. Fill your pot with rich, well draining soil about ⅔ full
3. Place your seed paper pieces on top of the soil. Try to spread them out. This will help prevent the Chamomile from crowding each other during growth.
4. Sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top. A thick layer of soil will hinder the seeds from sprouting!
5. Using a mister or spray bottle, keep your seed paper covers moist (not soaking) for a week and watch them grow. Continue to keep an eye on our seed paper for germination and need for water.
