Product details
How
For best results sow into trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down but don't cover. Keep moist during germination. Transplant when large enough to handle.
Care
Stevia is a frost-sensitive perennial, and needs to be brought inside or kept under glass over Winter. Ideal as a potted herb in the kitchen. Feed plants regularly with Yates Thrive Vegie & Herb Liquid Plant Food. Protect plants from snails and slugs.
Hint
Frequent picking keeps the plants bushy. Stevia is best harvested as it begins to flower, when the stevioside compound that gives stevia its sweetness is at its highest.
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct Sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
