Indian Peace Pipe Nicotiana Seeds

These aren’t easy to grow unless you do it right. These really should be started indoors, thinned once the seedlings get two to three sets of true leaves, then transplanted whatever container you are going to use. Since the seeds are so tiny, they need to be started pretty much on top of the soil, but the challenge is keeping them from drying out. That can be solved by placing the seeds on top, lightly pressing them in, and then covering them with a thin layer of fine vermiculite to retain moisture and to keep the seeds from washing away when you moisten the top of the soil/germination tray. They also take 2-3 weeks to germinate, so patience and applying water BEFORE they dry out is key to successful germination.
