Wild Variety Heights Nicotiana glauca is an evergreen perennial with a shrubby habit that eventually grows to the size of a small treeup to 25 feet
Watering Tobacco Plants Keep moist but not overly saturated Susceptible to mold, fungus, and rot 60-68% humidity should provide adequate moisture Regardless of cultivar or use, members of Nicotiana are all native to the sweltering and humid tropics throughout the world and still thrive from the same moist conditions
For best results, maintain a 70-80 humidity without allowing water and moisture to make direct contact with your crop
Because harvestable tobacco is grown for leaf production, it is important to remove all leafy suckers from the plant that direct energy away from producing broad, flavorful leaves
