Nicotiana sylvestris - South American tobacco

continental : Let’s water every 10-11 days, so that the substratum is always quite moist. If the temperatures are very harsh, during the winter, it isn’t necessary to water. Wet with 1875-1876 glasses of water.

alpine : We advise watering the the Nicotiana sylvestris regularly, but not too often, keeping the soil damp, using 1874-1875 glasses of water; during this period of the year watering every 10-11 days could be enough.

mediterranean : The Nicotiana sylvestris always asks for a slightly moist soil: therefore we should water often, about every 10-11 days, wetting the substratum deep down. Normally 1876-1877 glasses of water are used.

continental : These plants need, for a balanced development, to be grown in a sunny place.
We suggest, during the coldest months of the year, to grow these plants in a sheltered place, where the freezing is not too intense.

alpine : Plant which needs to be exposed to direct sunrays.
These plants can stand short frosts, but during the coldest months of the year we suggest covering them with a non-woven fabric, or move them to a cold greenhouse.

mediterranean : We advise locating these plants where they can be directly exposed to solar rays.
The Nicotiana sylvestris can stand the cold, therefore it can be planted in full ground in the garden.

Fertilize Nicotiana sylvestris : Perennial plants don’t need fertilizing during the winter months; many of these plants during this period of the year are in vegetative rest.
