You're welcome and thank you for watching.

adore adore absolutely love your plastic bag tip I plan to use it when I travel to prevent having to come home to dead plants !

Yes, thank you.

Thank you for your comment. Yes I usually pinch 1 to 4 leaves from the top of a branch to sweeten a cup of tea. You can also steep the fresh leaves along with your tea bag in one cup of hot water.

Thank you for your comment. Happy to here about the success of one of your stevia plant. My clipping has rooted and doing well, but growth is slow. I check to see if the soil is moist below the top layer before watering, I do not want to over watered. Happy gardening.

Anytime indoors and in the spring outdoors.

@@growingyourfoodinyourownba1221 thank you

Stevia seeds should be cold stratified prior to planting.

I really don't know what all the hub-bub is over growing them from seed. I bought a packet of Stevia seeds from outsidepride on amazon back in February. It had about 30 seeds in it, and I surface sowed 15 of them on some Jiffy organic seed starting mix in a four-inch pot. I put a few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle of water and gently misted the seeds until moist to keep pathogens away. I put the pot in a quart freezer bag and put it under my grow light. The temperature stayed between 60 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit. In just four days, 15 of the 20 seeds germinated. I gradually opened the bag over a couple of days to get the seedlings used to lower humidity, then removed the bag completely. When the seedlings were a couple of inches tall, I used a thin object to bury 6 Osmocote 14-14-14 slow release fertilizer pellets an inch deep, evenly spaced among the seedlings. I know a lot of people suggest cold stratification, but why would a tropical plant need that? This was my first try growing Stevia plants in any form. The seedlings all survived, but two became runts temporarily because I let them stay in the original pot too long. I was able to separate them all nicely and now I have a decent crop going outside in direct sun. The runts even recovered and are growing strong and fast. The fresh leaves are even sweeter than the refined store-bought products, but still have a bit of their distinctive aftertaste. Even though I don't have any trouble growing them from seed, I watched this video because I like propagating plants and needed a starting point for Stevia now that I have some material to work with.

You can root stevia stem tips in water, but it take much longer.

Growing Your Food In Your Own Backyard ok thanks 😊

Normally it take about a week or two before root appears. This is from my Mint cuttings. Normally i place them in water mixed with rooting powder then leave it in there until the root. Additional care is to change the water every 2 - 3 days, i shine grow light on them every night and off it when i wake up. Once it starts rooting and its long enough, you can then introduce them into soil. Add some rooting powder on the ground end before you push the cutting into the soil to help it root some more, which helps the plants to lock itself into position faster. Be careful not to let it get full sunlight immediately after, they won't be used to it. Progressive training, my fellow gardener.
