Sowing notes for fine seed

Nicotiana seed is dust-fine, so sow it thinly on the surface of a fine, moist seed-starting mix rather than in rows or pockets. A light misting keeps the seed in place better than pouring water over it. Warmth matters as much as light here: hold the tray at 75 degrees F (24 degrees C) until the seedlings are up.
