Discover the natural sweetness of Stevia rebaudiana, also known as candyleaf, a versatile plant that offers a healthy alternative to sugar. Its leaves can be enjoyed fresh, brewed into a soothing tea, or used to sweeten your favourite foods and drinks. Beyond its sweetening properties, Stevia is also recognized for its beneficial medicinal attributes, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumour effects. How to Grow: - Sow indoors at any time on the surface of moist, well-drained seed compost, lightly covering the seeds. - Maintain a warm propagator or sealed polythene bag at 25–27°C until germination occurs (approximately 1–2 weeks). - Transplant seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and continue growing them under glass. - Plant outdoors only when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed. Stevia is a tender perennial that can be grown as an annual in cooler climates. It prefers warm conditions and well-drained soil.
