How to maintain cigars to keep them oily

Cigar Growing Conditions

Cigars require the soil to be sufficiently loose so that the plants can absorb more nutrients. The suitable temperature for the growth and development of cigars is 25-28℃. If the temperature in winter is minus 2-3℃, the tobacco plants will die. Generally speaking, the underground part of the plant can grow between 7-43℃, but the most suitable temperature is 31℃.

How to maintain a cigar

In order to promote more branching and flowering of cigars, the plants need to be pruned and topped in time. In addition, as a perennial green plant, it is best to carry out a series of pruning treatments on it in the spring of each year, pruning off some overgrown branches, diseased and dead branches, etc., which will be more conducive to the subsequent growth of the plant.

Cigar watering

Because excessive watering will cause cigar root rot, you can decide whether to water by observing the dryness and wetness of the potting soil. The general judgment standard is not to water unless the soil surface is dry, and when watering, water it thoroughly at one time.
