Stevia is native to Paraguay and Brazil, where people have used leaves from the stevia bush to sweeten food for hundreds of years. If you've seen the zero calorie sweeteners in the grocery store then you have probably already heard of Stevia.  Spoiler alert: homegrown Stevia is much different than store bought. Most stevia products you’ll find in the grocery store are heavily refined powders.Stevia likes to stay evenly moist, not too dry and not too wet. Make sure the soil drainage is excellent. Stevia likes full sun and does not require fertilizer if planted in fertile soil.  If you are unsure, a single watering of diluted liquid fertilizer after transplanting should be enough.During the first 2 months of the growing season, pinch the tips of the plant every 3 weeks. This will result in a bushier, better-branched plant. If possible, pinch in the early morning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mowphettrade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43883238391867,"sku":"NQ1H8D5","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/3771\/6795\/files\/Output_324.jpg?v=1785399280","url":"https:\/\/mowphettrade.com\/products\/organic-stevia-seeds-15-seeds-medicinal-herb-seeds-heirloom-organic-herb-seeds-stevia-plant-usa-grown","provider":"Mowphettrade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
