An ideal substrate can be considered a substrate, consisting of two parts compost, one part regular soil from your plot and one part sand. Before sowing, the substrate must be moistened.

You can plant dry seeds, but more friendly shoots out, if seeds sprouted. For sprouting seeds should be 4-5 days before sowing wrap in a clean cloth or gauze and soak in clean warm water. For best germination, you can add a few crystals of potassium nitrate.

In this solution the seeds should be kept for about a day, then rinse them well with water and place on the same cloth. A rag put in an enamel or earthenware dish, place the container in a warm place, cover the seeds or utensils should not be.The rag need to be wet.

If you use for growing seedlings seed box or flower pots, and also if the seeds are planted too close to each other you will need to carry out this procedure as swordplay.Picks should be done when the young seedlings appear 3-4 true leaves. Before swordplay sprinkle seedlings when the soil is wet you can carefully transplant the plants to the greenhouse or individual pots for further growth and development.

Plant tobacco like all other crop plants for better growth, you should fertilize. For supplements can ispolzovatsya fertilizer In 10 liters of water to dissolve 30 grams of ammonium nitrate, 20 grams of sulfate or potassium chloride and this solution to water the plants.
