Cultivation Tips:

1. Starting Seeds: Start Stevia Seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date for your region. Sow seeds in pots or trays filled with well-draining seed starting mix, covering them lightly with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
2. Transplanting: Transplant Stevia seedlings outdoors once all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
3. Soil and Watering: Stevia prefers well-drained soil with moderate fertility. Water plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
4. Maintenance: Prune Stevia plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Harvest leaves as needed for sweetening purposes, cutting stems just above a leaf node to promote new growth. Remove flower buds as they appear to prolong the harvest season and prevent self-seeding.
