Growing Tips for Stevia 'Candy'

• Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in warm climates. Stevia seeds should be planted on the surface of the soil and lightly covered. Transplant seedlings into the garden or containers once they have at least two sets of true leaves and the soil has warmed up.
• Sunlight: Stevia thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hot climates. Ensure your plants receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.
• Soil: Stevia prefers well-drained, loamy, or sandy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.5). Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils to prevent root rot.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Stevia plants are drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering will promote better leaf production.
• Fertilizing: Feed your Stevia plants with a balanced, organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support lush growth and maximum sweetness.
• Pruning: Regularly pinch back the tips of your Stevia plants to encourage bushier growth and more leaves.

Culinary Uses of Stevia 'Candy'

• Homemade Sweeteners: Harvest Stevia leaves, dry them, and grind them into a fine powder to use as a natural sweetener in teas, coffees, and baked goods.
• Syrups & Extracts: Steep fresh or dried Stevia leaves in hot water to create a sweet syrup or extract that can be used in recipes or added to beverages.
• Herbal Teas: Add fresh Stevia leaves to your herbal tea blends for a touch of sweetness without any added sugar.
• Baking: Substitute Stevia powder or liquid extract for sugar in your favorite baked goods. Start with small amounts, as Stevia is much sweeter than sugar.
