* An interesting recommendation for the cultivation of flowering tobacco, proven in practice: you can dig up plants in the fall, plant in a pot, transfer to a light window, cut off flower stalks with faded flowers, water sparingly.
Then, in January-February, plants bloom in indoor conditions, which is especially pleasant during the period when blizzards are raging outside the window or there is dank dampness ...
There are cases when plant breeders have maintained plants in this way for 10-12 years.
