Camelina grows best in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Prepare the planting area by loosening the soil and removing weeds before sowing. Good drainage helps provide suitable conditions for root development.

Maintain consistent moisture during germination and early growth. Once plants are established, water according to the growing environment while avoiding prolonged waterlogged conditions.

Sow the seeds in prepared garden soil or a suitable seed-starting medium. Cover them lightly with soil and maintain even moisture during germination. Once seedlings emerge, provide adequate sunlight and enough growing space for healthy development.

For container growing, select a container with drainage holes and use a well-draining growing medium. Place the container in a sunny location and monitor moisture regularly.
