I have tried for three years in a row to grow stevia. I don't know if I overwater or what. I would love nothing more than a huge bed of stevia, I love it so much. What else can you tell me about growing it? When do you plant it outdoors? Thanks so much for this video, I absolutely loved it!
@littlepurplebarn I barely water my stevia, it does better if slightly dry. I plant mine in the spring and harvest it right before the first frost for the winter. Have you tried growing it inside yet?
@hallecottis @littlepurplebarn I do better inside than out. It is when I try to transplant it that I always lose it. Thanks for your reply!
I would, or you could use a dehydrator...but the sun works fine too...that is how I did mine last year :)
Yeah Aimee, my job is don :)
Great job! Would you dry your basil the same way and then just keep the leaves whole?
it is time to harvest your plant then...you want to get it right before it blooms
Great Job on the video! You actually make me want to plant something besides my requisite 1 basil plant per year!!! :))
Thanks Pat. They don't recommend that you grow it from seed rather from a cutting...it is very hard to germinate. That being said...I got mine to germinate just fine. In regards to the liquid stevia, I am not sure...I will get back to you on that.
How long does the liquid stevia stay good in the refrig.? The top of my stevia was growing flowers so I pinched and threw out. Didn't realize this was good.
Halle, great video! I will definately grow my own stevia next year. Is there a place to order seeds that you recommend? Also, how much liquid stevia = 1 cup sugar? Thanks again!
