Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this product

Comment semer une graine aussi fine ?

Mélangez une pincée de graines à une cuillère de sable fin, saupoudrez en surface, ne couvrez pas, vaporisez. La lumière est indispensable à la levée.

Le tabac pousse-t-il au Québec ?

Oui, il s'y cultive depuis des siècles. Semé en mars et transplanté en juin, le Grand Rouge Fort atteint près de 2 m et mûrit ses feuilles en août.

Comment récolter les semences de tabac ?

Laissez fleurir un plant, attendez que les capsules brunissent et sèchent, puis secouez-les au-dessus d'un bol. Conservées au sec, les graines gardent leur pouvoir germinatif plusieurs années.
