Nicotiana tabacum 'Habano 2000'

Product number: 542523
Origin: South America
Latin: *Nicotiana tabacum*

Habano 2000 is derived from a cross between the Corojo variety and a non-commercial variety of Cuban dark tobacco: Habano 2.1.1, from which its resistance to grey mold is derived.
Cultivated in direct sunlight, the plants reach an average height of 180 cm with 14-16 leaves per plant. In very rich soils, they can develop up to 18 leaves per plant. Sun-grown plants are often used for a good blend of cigars or cigarettes. Habano 2000 is also cultivated under shade cloth and then makes an excellent wrapper (wrapper leaf for cigars).

Tobacco plants are diligent bloomers, in sun or shade, dry weather or rain!

Sowing method: February-April indoors at 20-25°C or outdoors in May (in a warm, shady spot). Always pre-sow in a seed tray. Use cocopeat with silver sand as a sowing medium, sieve the top layer extra finely (kitchen sieve). Spread the seeds over the seedbed, press lightly, and mist to keep moist: it's a light germinator! Transplant into potting soil in good time to prevent growth stagnation. The plants can be moved outdoors in May, as soon as the weather becomes consistently warmer.
