Can a cigarette plant be grown as a house plant

If you can find a plant that grows cigarettes, let me know! grinnnn But if you can't, you can get tobacco plant seeds online -- but I haven't tried it yet myself. wink

Cuphea ignea gets its name from its tubular flowers that have white tips with a touch of black suggesting the ash at the tip of a cigarette.

It can be grown as in indoor plant, but not easily. It requires more direct sun than most homes have. The soil must be kept evenly moist and high humidity also helps. It is an excellent greenhouse plant.

Jgeoff...I live in Pa...just north of Lancaster. There are soooooo many tobacco plants around here it's not even funny. I swear, the amish are supplying every single cig company with tobacco!!! laugh

The funniest thing of it is that they won't smoke and do not approve of those who do, but they'll grow it and sell so that people can smoke it. Duh
