Chamomile tea, known for its soothing properties, has also been explored as a natural remedy in gardening. Many gardeners wonder if it can serve as a fungicide for outdoor plant boxes. The answer is yes—chamomile tea contains antifungal compounds that may help prevent fungal infections like damping-off and mildew.
To use chamomile tea as a fungicide, brew a strong batch, let it cool, and spray it on the soil and plants. Its mild nature makes it safe for most plants, though it’s best to test on a small area first. While not as potent as chemical fungicides, chamomile tea offers a gentle, eco-friendly alternative for plant care.
For best results, apply it weekly or after heavy rain. Pair it with proper drainage and sunlight to keep your outdoor plant boxes healthy. Chamomile tea is a simple, cost-effective way to support plant health naturally.
