HOW TO GROW

STEVIA

 

Step 1

Sow 3-4 seeds roughly 3mm deep into each

small pot of moist soil mixed with some sand.

Leave in a light sunny position. Ideally,

sow 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost

and keep indoors.

 

Step 2

Keep moist and warm but not too wet.

Warm temperatures are required for

germination so if below 10°C regularly

consider using a heating mat.

Seeds should germinate in 2-4 weeks.

 

Step 3

Once sprouted, either weed off the

weaker seedlings or transplant all

 to their own individual pots.

 

Transplant 7-8 week old seedlings

but only after the last frost.

Stevia can be planted in the ground or

in pots but in colder regions the plant is

grown as an annual. Keeping plant in pots

allows grower to move indoors to

protect from frost.

 

Step 4

In warm, sunny conditions Stevia can be

 harvested within 5-6 months but will take

slightly longer in colder climates.
