Thx dude, This has been the only one video I could find about how to get seeds from stevia flowers. It helps me a lot. I'm from Argentina it's very close to Paraguay. Ppl from Paraguay have been using this sweet plant for hundreds of years and is becoming very popular these days. Specifically between ppl that suffer from diabetes.
I grow these from seed John , very easy to do so..mix with sand to start indoors on these small seeds really helps.. good plant to have around..lots of bees here ..:) Diane
stevia is one of my favorite things I've got growin' on! Every stevia I've tried from the store has terrible after taste but the stevia i'm growing tastes the same afterwards as it does throughout - SWEET and delicious.
I got 6 stevia plants for like 3$ today. Grew a couple from seed also, 3 out of 10ish made it. I was planning to use it for extract, had never even tried the leaves themselves. So i went and picked a leave an poped it in my mouth. all I have to say is WOW!!!
Glad I found this vid. I saved so many of the lil seed pods and was hoping someone would address if I had to pick the seed away from the lil dandelion part or just plant them like that I wasn't sure. I saved a bunch. Grew a huge stevia in my bathroom window over winter with lights
Great info! I got my first stevia plant this spring and it has really taken off! It's huge, full and lush, but no flowers yet. I'm in MN, Should I wait for it to flower to harvest the leaves?
It does ok in AP... I had one in my system this year but if it was me I would plant more crops that are more useful that will last you longer like cucumber squash ect... I moved all mine to a 55 gallon drum cut in a quarter they do very well with rabbit poop mixed into compost... Hope this helps... This information is coming from zone 7b of SC...
When doing the tip cuttings, where should you cut? below a node? My very short plant (about 1 foot high) is always covered with white flowers. Is it ok if the cutting has flowers ... or should there be more leaves? Thanks. BTW John, your singing was funny!
You can cut them any time. I cut my back to encourage bushing out and I boil the tips. I will try and remember, tho, to let at least one stalk grow to seed.
90% of the people i asked said the best way to propagate stevia is by cuttings, that way they dont loose the characteristics of the mother plant as along as you make sure that the mother plant has very good characteristics but my question is, until when or is there any limit as to when will these cuttings be good? i mean after you've grown from cuttings, can you still get cuttings from the new plant to make way for the next generation?
Hi John, what do you know about kashi farming? I see people using meat and other waste food.... would that be safe for the plants. I am into organic planting. Do you do that for your garden with your waste vegies? Thanks in advance for your reply...
It is said that once these GMO plants are raised in the soil, that other plants or crops that is planted afterward won't flourish.....will conventional seeds survive this?...
John , can you do a video about veggies you get at the store that are organic that you can chop off a part and put back into the earth to regrow again? That would be great. I have done this with pineapple and I know you can do with celery and green onions too. It's really cool and many not know about this.
stevia or ka'a he'e in Guarani (sweet grass) is of Paraguay (scientific name "Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni" after its discoverers Ovid Rebaudi Paraguayan scientists and Moises Bertoni Swiss-born but naturalized Paraguayan 1885 ... yet it is found wild in the northeast of the country across the border with Brazil, hence leaving many to say that it is also home bras, which is not true, only that these were brought to Brazil from Paraguay for cultivation, in Paraguay there are over 300 varieties
I live in parts of canada we see -40 and ive had the same stevia plant for yrs. It reseeds itself ever couple yrs and this plant likes wet feet(always to be wet) if it ever dries up at all its not a happy stevia plant
hi, information from you is very valuable, i am from Pakistan, i am much conscious about maintaining my body weight, would you please help me providing information on how stevia can be grown in pakistan
Hi!....I really enjoyed your video.I just recently watched a video on this chemical company that is monopolizing the seed industry. Which is making farmers dependant on buying their genetically altered chemically sprayed DNA spliced seeds! Putting these chemicals in the earth and not to mention infusing the DNA of other living things into the DNA of these plants for live stock/ human consumption,is not good for any of us, how is this affecting us?It sickens me to see this happening.I had no idea
LOL, don't pick on John. I'm sure you're annoying too. (yes, and so am I). I watched the video as I was separating my dried leaf and seeds. Good vid. ;-)
John Please!!! Your a STAR !! Please get better audio n video Ohh please stop singing JK lol Thank you for your teachings im only on my second year gardening buying seeeedss like a madman Gardening is great for depression!! Send me a few seeds so u can be a part of my garden i learn most things from u so far!! Thanks Lonnie
Yikes - bitter aftertaste if you harvest or eat the leaves after the blooms open - yuck! Below 46 degrees or so, not good. Plus, they need full sun. They're zone 9 plants. The non-matured would be a temperature thang.
Stevia has been associated with infertility and endocrine disruption, according to reports. Watch this truthstreammedia video: www.activistpost.com/2015/05/stevia-hailed-as-anti-fertility-agent.html
blisflvolcanodweller No one has been able to replicate the original research, which was based on supported assumptions. ; in all the studies since., the rats always get pregnant. Akashi and Yokoma did a study and found no differences in the control group, no health problems or differences in fertility. Mori et al (1981) did a similar study and found "There were no significant differences in the averages of conception, in the variation in the body weight, in the ingestion and in the weight of the organs. Hystological exams of the sexual organs of the animals , even of those which in the average did not induce conception, did not reveal changes which could be attributed to the test. The fetuses also did not show abnormalities. Several other studies got the same results. Stevia is not anti-fertility and produces no harmful effects. Several other studies since have found exactly the same results. Stevia has proved health benefits. Science has a wonderful way of exposing and correcting shoddy research and false assumptions.
..I guess the better question is...will we survive it?.....it seems that the boogie man has come out from the closets and has moved into the laboratory.....and are now doing unspeakable things..
I can’t stand the way you say propagate 😂 I’m sure right now 10 years later you can look back at this video and laugh at yourself on how you said it 😂🤣😂
Eileen Dwyer It is more righteous. If you want to support local business and jobs. Spreading the wealth to smaller owners vs to a few handfull who most likely is not a part of making America richer.

They are so sweet I can't even eat a whole leaf!
Here in Savannah GA, zone 8B-9, we can grow Stevia as a perennial. It will die back to the crown in winter, but comes back in spring.
Thanks John for that information. I love Stevia, I use it in my Citrus Water that I make. Since I'm a Diabetic this sweetener is my go to.

Aw yeah, looking forward to a high definition 'Growing Your Greens' Channel (and your other channels too).
I just got some Stevia recently so I am looking forward to using it.
I make tea out of fresh peppermint and stevia leaves and oh buddy, what a beautiful flavor
Does the plant have that nasty after taste?
Whats the beat soil to start them indoors and best for potting
how long does your season need to be to grow stevia to seeds? I am in NC.
When doing the tip cuttings, where should you cut? below a node? My very short plant (about 1 foot high) is always covered with white flowers. Is it ok if the cutting has flowers ... or should there be more leaves? Thanks.
BTW John, your singing was funny!
Thanks so much the information about this plant...🤔🤗
Thanks John good video.
I'm praying for you John.
This is great information!!!!!!
Great info on this WONDERFUL sweet herb John,...STEVIA,....btw, nice lookin' pooch ya got there in the background,..thumbs up!! = )
Thanks for the video! I found the information helpful!
when should I STOP watering herbs for the best seed production and collection?
my some stevia plants are dying , stem turns black , maybe soil bad or too much water
You can cut them any time. I cut my back to encourage bushing out and I boil the tips.
I will try and remember, tho, to let at least one stalk grow to seed.

I cut my stevia down to about 2" in the begining of fall and now it's growing back : )
how many gardens do you own John?
Does anyone know if stevia does well grown via aquaponics?
Kristin Bennett ..yes you can grow stevia using hydroponics & aquaphonics system.. Happy growing :)
When is growing time for Chia best? (and harvest time?)
4:51
Propagate by cuttings.
This is what I'll do.
Thanks.
Hi John, what do you know about kashi farming? I see people using meat and other waste food.... would that be safe for the plants. I am into organic planting. Do you do that for your garden with your waste vegies? Thanks in advance for your reply...
Hi John, Time to get into widescreen high-def video. It will show your plant much better. :))
Good job ! You are so lovable. 😘
May i get stevia seed

It is said that once these GMO plants are raised in the soil, that other plants or crops that is planted afterward won't flourish.....will conventional seeds survive this?...

So this comment was nine years ago and I am sure by now you are completely aware of how horrible things have got and what they have done to us!
LOL, don't pick on John. I'm sure you're annoying too. (yes, and so am I). I watched the video as I was separating my dried leaf and seeds. Good vid. ;-)
educational plus singing Black Sabbath gets a thumbs up every time
I heard stevia is really hard to propagate from seed
John Please!!! Your a STAR !! Please get better audio n video Ohh please stop singing JK lol Thank you for your teachings im only on my second year gardening buying seeeedss like a madman Gardening is great for depression!!

Thanks. Getting ready to harvest my leaves today and dehydrate. Can't wait for the plant to flower.
Sorry, no singing. Stick to the garden.
Sugar is a poor substitute for stevia.
John, it looks like a bag of pot! ;-)

5 min to cut a plant

NEVER SUPPORT WALMART WITH A DIME!
hans lund That means you would pay 2 dimes for a comparable product some where else, as if they are some how more righteous. How smart is that.
Eileen Dwyer It is more righteous. If you want to support local business and jobs. Spreading the wealth to smaller owners vs to a few handfull who most likely is not a part of making America richer.
