Wild Caraway

Wild Caraway should be watered frequently, but lightly, and allowed to dry out between waterings. The soil should not be saturated or soggy. During the growing season (spring and summer), this plant should be watered every 3-5 days, depending on the weather - more often if it is very warm or dry. During the winter months, water less often - every 7-10 days, depending on the weather. Your soil should be moist but not wet. In addition to regular watering, misting the leaves of your plant can help keep it healthy and hydrated.

Wild Caraway (Carum carvi) prefers full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained soil. In full sun, it will need 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to thrive. When grown in partial shade, 4 to 6 hours a day is ideal. It is best grown in a location that gets morning sun and is shielded from hot afternoon sun.

Wild Caraway should be pruned once a year for shape, size, and to promote new foliage. The best time to prune these plants is in the spring when growth is just beginning. Prune lightly, removing no more than 1/3 of the plant's total growth each year. Focus on removing dead, diseased, or otherwise damaged branches to improve plant health. Additionally, it can be beneficial to lightly prune the plant to give it a desired shape or size and to remove crossed or overly crowded branches.
