- Stevia Cultivation: The video discusses cultivating stevia, an herb used as a sugar substitute, particularly useful for those looking to reduce sugar intake. It highlights the benefits of growing stevia for use in homemade tea blends.
- Pruning Techniques: The speaker emphasizes “pinching off” or trimming stevia plants to encourage them to branch out and become bushier, rather than just tall. This technique involves cutting the plant back to promote fuller growth and more leaves.
- Harvesting and Usage: Leaves trimmed from the stevia plant are dehydrated and used to sweeten teas. This is highlighted as a calorie-free method of adding sweetness.
- Fertilization Advice: A balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK 2-2-2) is recommended for stevia plants. High nitrogen fertilizers should be avoided as they may alter the sweetness of the leaves.
- Propagation and Care: The video covers starting stevia from seeds, the flexibility this provides for growers, and the importance of not clipping more than 30% of the plant to ensure it continues to thrive and produce.

Thanks so much for watching! Comment below and let us know what herbs are you growing this season?
I just harvested my stevia seeds and ready to see if they germinate 🤩 Thanks for sharing your tips!
I got stevia germinated last week, but dont notice any much growth since then. Is it a slow grower?
Dont even have first set of true leaves
Great info! Thanks and Cheers!
THANKS SISTER LOVE FOR THE WONDERFUL INFORMATION ❤️❤️❤️
I planted some seeds but no germination and not sure what I did wrong😏
“We grew these from seed” is such a flex and I LOVE IT!!!
Turn up the volume!
Thank you so much! You tell us how to make it bushy, which I had a hard time finding out. Thank you for explaining this! Now I will pinch off my long spindly stems.
Hi, can you explain more on how to use the liquid plant food? Gow often, how much, how is the steps, the dose etc.. Thanks
Thanks friend! Some great tips here! I just found stevia plants today and I’m excited to up-pot, feed and trim. I hope to root my cuttings as these two plants are quite tall. I’ll make sure cut just above a node. Looks like two plants in each pot. Would it be a bad idea to separate them?
Just bought stevia plants and ready to get them going. They were sickly tall but brown died leaves, yellowed and brown leaves and some green so I decided to try to save them. I plan on keeping them in containers and keeping year round
Shalom. First video to watch and new subscriber today.

Sorry you talk to much, just get to it.
Thank you so much for the video it was helpful
I grow stevia at home 2 plants, the are sweet but after a few leaves, the sweetness is gone so wait a minute or two and try again, then boom 💥 it’s sweet again. No clue why, but it’s like that for me over and over.
Thank you. This is a wonderful video. Just what I needed.
Wuuuut? Another great gardening channel from a talented gardener? Yay!
Thank you very helpful!! I am pretty new and am trying to not give up though I have had a bunch of messy tries at it. I would love to connect about your class more – do you have an affiliate link?
