Nicotiana tabacum seeds

Nicotiana tabacum is the plant that is used for the production of tobacco. In South-America the plant was cultivated for medical and recreational purposes.

Cultivation

Cultivating your own Nicotiana tabacum is not that hard. Sow the seeds early in the season (around March is best). The seeds germinate easily and the plants grow well in different circumstances. Let the seeds germinate in a small pot in some soil covered with a bag. Keep thoroughly moist for the first weeks. After a few days the seeds will germinate and within a couple of weeks the seedlings will grow their first leaves. At this moment you can replace your young plants to a bigger pot (without the covering bag). Keep them out of direct sunlight for the first week. After that place them in a sunny spot. Remember that the Nicotiana tabacum does best in a rich and moist soil.
