I bought a plant yesterday and am rooting cuttings. Wondering if I can plant it in GB's. |

Hmmm I'd be interested in this... I distill my own spirits and stevia can be used as a (diabetic) friendly sweetener. I'd love to grow my own |

It's supposed to be easy to propagate thorough cuttings. I hadn't seen it for sale before. Looks kind of weedy...very spreading type growth. If pruned frequently, it should get a bit fuller. It's amazing how sweet the leaves are. Almost a saccharine type taste. |

A popular hardware store used to sell it, but the plants would get stripped bare from all the people sampling leaves. I haven't seen it there since lol |

works well in my GB, it has a dormant period in winter (adelaide) but just starting to sprout again, the leaves are amazing |

Cuttings are doing pretty good. Hopefully, get some in a GB shortly. |

We grow quite a bit of it around the yard, The missus uses it instead of sugar. She takes cuttings and has no problems getting them started. It also self seads quite easily. |

I have had it for many years it does tolerate dry conditions and does go dormant in winter,hard to grow from seed. |

I bought 10 plants from Lowes hardware store a few weeks ago. Put some in the ground, and some in the AP. All doing fine so far. |

Is the stevia growing alright in the Aquaponics? Just bought a pot and has 3 plants in so will try both dirt and aquaponics. |
