Obtain stevia plant cuttings or seeds: Stevia plants can be grown from either stem cuttings or seeds. If using cuttings, obtain healthy stems from a mature stevia plant. If using seeds, purchase them from a reputable source. Prepare seed trays or pots: If starting from seeds, fill seed trays or small pots with a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the containers have drainage holes at the bottom to prevent waterlogging. Sow seeds or plant cuttings: If using seeds, sow them about ¼ inch deep in the potting mix. If using cuttings, plant them about 2-3 inches deep in the potting mix. Space the seeds or cuttings several inches apart. Provide optimal conditions: Place the seed trays or pots in a warm and bright location. Stevia plants require temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) to germinate and grow. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day or use fluorescent grow lights if sunlight is insufficient. Watering: Keep the potting mix moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overwatering, as stevia plants are susceptible to root rot. Water whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
