Planting Instructions for Organic Nicotiana Rustica Seeds (Mapacho, Aztec Tobacco):
Light Germination: For successful germination, avoid burying the seeds entirely in soil. Instead, opt for a thin layer of soil or sand to cover them if desired.
Seed Pot Preparation: Prepare the seed pots by filling them with high-quality growing soil. Lightly spray the soil with water to ensure it is adequately moistened.
Planting: Gently place the Nicotiana Rustica seeds on the surface of the soil. Give them a light mist of water to settle them in place securely.
Maintain Moisture: To create an optimal environment for germination, it's essential to keep the soil consistently moist. Consider covering the seed pots with plastic wrap to retain moisture. Remember to aerate the pots daily or as needed to maintain proper soil moisture levels.
Greenhouse Option: If you prefer a controlled environment for germination, you can place the covered seed pots in an indoor greenhouse. This controlled setting promotes successful growth as the seeds germinate and the seedlings begin to grow a few centimeters tall.
Fresh Air Supply: Adequate ventilation is crucial for the healthy development of the seedlings. Ensure they receive fresh air at least once a day to prevent mold formation.
