Prostrate chamomile is fairly disease-resistant and typically does not suffer from many illnesses. Still, it can be vulnerable to pests and diseases present in its environment. Such infections are generally mild. As for care, the plant requires moderate upkeep. Regular pruning is needed to keep it attractive and to encourage healthy growth. Fertilizing can also help stimulate flowering. This chamomile is appropriate for anyone with outdoor areas like a garden or patio and does not demand extensive care experience.

CARE GUIDE

How to keep Anthemis Urvilleana.

Light

Prostrate chamomile comes from bright, open habitats and performs best in full sun. It will tolerate some partial shade but favors direct sunlight for optimal development. This plant, which may be annual or biennial, is noted for its preference for sunny conditions.

Temperature

Prostrate chamomile can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by various combinations of moisture and heat. It grows best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or sustained high temperatures can raise the risk of Prostrate chamomile dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can enhance the plant's survival chances.

Fertilizer

When most of Prostrate chamomile's flowers have fully opened, resume fertilizing. At the peak bloom period, apply fertilizer once every three to four weeks, weather permitting. Then, when the plant begins producing fewer new flowers, stop fertilizing; there's no need to feed it if it can no longer produce more blooms.
