  • Soil requirements: Stevia prefers well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.7 and 7.2. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
  • Sunlight needs: Stevia plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They can tolerate partial shade but will produce fewer leaves.
  • Watering requirements: Stevia needs consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged. Water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy. Reduce watering during the winter months.
  • Planting season: The best time to plant stevia seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. Stevia can also be started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Depth and spacing: Plant stevia seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch. Space the seeds about 18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
  • Germination time: Stevia seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions.
  • Maturity time: Stevia plants usually reach maturity in about 3 to 4 months after planting.
  • Harvesting time: The best time to harvest stevia leaves is in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day. This helps preserve the essential oils and sweetness of the leaves.
  • Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems. Harvest the leaves just before the plant flowers for the best flavor. Dry the leaves in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Store dried leaves in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
