Growing Bravyi 200 from seed

Nicotiana seed is very fine and needs light to germinate, so it is pressed onto the surface and never buried. The figures below follow the variety description on the product card. They are approximate guides, not results measured on a specific seed lot.

• Sowing: press the seeds lightly onto the surface of the soil and leave them uncovered.
• Timing: start the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost.
• Temperature: the card suggests about 24 C (75 F), with the soil kept moist while the seeds germinate.
• Germination: the card gives 7 to 14 days.
• Transplanting: move seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 feet) apart.
• Care: the card recommends regular watering and occasional fertilizing.

The plant reaches 1.5 m or more, so the spacing of 60 to 90 cm leaves room for air and light around the broad leaves. Keep young seedlings evenly moist, harden them off gradually before they go outside, and plant them out once nights are reliably warm.

What is not yet recorded

No seed specifications have been saved for this variety yet. For that reason this page does not state a germination percentage, a viability period or a seed size. The product card also says where the variety was developed, but that statement has not been verified, so it is left out here rather than repeated. Photographs in the gallery have not all been reviewed against this variety, so this text makes no claims about what the plants in them look like beyond the card.

FAQ

How do I sow Bravyi 200 seeds?

Press them lightly onto the surface of moist, well-drained soil and do not cover them. The seeds need light to germinate, so burying them works against the plant. The card suggests a temperature of about 24 C (75 F).

When should I sow Bravyi 200?

The variety description recommends sowing indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Seedlings move outdoors after the last frost has passed. The card gives 7 to 14 days for germination, so allow about two weeks before judging a tray.

How tall does Bravyi 200 grow?

The product card gives a height of about 1.5 to 1.8 m (5 to 6 feet), with broad, slightly crinkled leaves and pink flowers. Treat these as approximate figures, since light, soil and spacing change the final size.
