This species is known as tree tobacco or shrub tobacco, distinguished by its characteristic appearance and unique morphological structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBotanical Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe plant usually reaches a height of over 2 m, though under favorable conditions it can grow up to 6-7 m. It forms numerous, loosely branched stems with a thin, semi-woody nature. The leaves are alternate, set on distinct petioles, which differentiates it from many other species in the \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eNicotiana\u003c\/strong\u003e genus. The leaf blades are \u003cstrong\u003eblue-green, completely smooth and non-sticky\u003c\/strong\u003e—unlike \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eNicotiana tabacum\u003c\/strong\u003e. They have a thick, rubbery texture and can reach up to 20 cm in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe flowers are gathered in loose, terminal panicles, creating striking inflorescences. They have a pale yellow, tubular corolla about 5 cm long, with five lobes at the opening. Flowering begins in June and can last for an extended period under favorable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafety and Properties\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eA key fact is that \u003cstrong\u003eall parts of the plant are toxic\u003c\/strong\u003e—they contain alkaloids, mainly nicotine and anabasine. For this reason, special care should be taken when cultivating and handling the plant, especially around children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eNicotiana glauca\u003c\/strong\u003e prefers \u003cstrong\u003esunny, hot, and dry locations\u003c\/strong\u003e. It grows best in well-drained soil—sandy, sandy-loam, or rocky—with a neutral pH. The substrate should be deep and moderately fertile, providing adequate drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe plant requires \u003cstrong\u003emoderate watering\u003c\/strong\u003e and tolerates occasional drought, making it suitable for cultivation in regions with limited water availability. In container cultivation, effective drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging at the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eClimate Tolerance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThis species adapts well to subtropical and tropical climates, showing tolerance to short-term temperature drops down to about \u003cstrong\u003e-5°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. However, it is not fully frost-hardy, which should be considered in the temperate climate zones of Europe. In cooler areas, container cultivation is recommended, allowing the plant to be moved indoors during the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHorticultural Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eNicotiana glauca\u003c\/strong\u003e can be an interesting addition to collections of exotic plants, especially in Mediterranean or desert-style gardens. Its unique form and yellow flowers add diversity to plant compositions, and its relative ease of cultivation makes it accessible to enthusiasts of unusual species.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"10","offer_id":53051505738056,"sku":"2294","price":7.9,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":53051505836360,"sku":"2295","price":34.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-tytoniu-sinego-nicotiana-glauca","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
