Stevia Seeds .
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.
