Plant Care & Growing Tips

To successfully grow stevia from your Stevia Rebaudiana seeds, a few key conditions should be met. Stevia prefers a sunny location, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and sweetness development. Good drainage is crucial, so plant your organic stevia seeds in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Watering should be consistent, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Stevia is a perennial in warmer climates (USDA Zones 8-11) but can be grown as an annual or overwintered indoors in cooler regions. Fertilize sparingly with a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. Protect young plants from frost. Pinching back the tips of the plant can encourage bushier growth and more leaves, enhancing your harvest of natural sweetener seeds.
