Planting and care

  • Stevia plants do best in a rich, loamy soil, the same kind in which common garden-variety plants thrive. Since the feeder roots tend to be quite near the surface, it is a good idea to add compost for extra nutrients if the soil in your area is sandy.
  • Besides being sensitive to cold during their developmental stage, the roots can also be adversely affected by excessive levels of moisture.
  • So take care not to overwater them and to make sure the soil in which they are planted drains easily and isn, t soggy or subject to flooding or puddling.
  • Frequent light watering is recommended during the summer months. Adding a layer of compost or your favorite mulch around each stevia plant will help keep the shallow feeder roots from drying out.
  • Stevia plants respond well to fertilizers with a lower nitrogen content than the fertilizer, s phosphoric acid or potash content.
  • Most organic fertilizers would work well, since they release nitrogen slowly.
