- Species and varieties: Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, is a species of plant in the Asteraceae family. There are several varieties of Stevia, including Stevia rebaudiana 'Bertoni', which is known for its high sweetness levels.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Stevia seeds are typically heirloom, meaning they are open-pollinated and can be saved and replanted year after year. Heirloom varieties of Stevia are prized for their natural sweetness and lack of genetic modification.
- Pruning and training: Regular pruning is essential to encourage bushy growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Pinch back the tips of the plant to promote branching. Remove any flowers that appear to direct the plant's energy towards leaf production.
- Fertilization needs: Stevia plants benefit from a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer applied every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to reduced sweetness in the leaves. Organic compost or well-rotted manure can also be used to enrich the soil.
- Hardiness zones: Stevia is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11. In these zones, Stevia can be grown as a perennial. In cooler climates, it can be grown as an annual or in containers that can be brought indoors during the winter.
- Climate requirements: Stevia thrives in warm, sunny climates with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C). It requires well-drained soil and prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.7 to 7.2). Stevia plants need full sun to partial shade and should be protected from frost.
