Jacob , so nice to see the young generation interested in gardening. Keep it up youngman. Loving your videos.
Thanks! Have a good one!
Just saw your thumbnail picture and immediately knew you were Aussie 🤣👍🏿
hmm what about the thumbnail made you think that? :) (coincidentally I'm about to visit Australia for the first time next week!)
That was helping this iml learning to grow a stevia plant and herbs too!!thank you again
I will try stevia again for the second time and hoping it will thrive this time. Thanks for the tops!
Loved your tip about keeping it in the pot while filling up the bigger pot with soil. Smart! Also I'll be trying to grow stevia for the first time this spring so thanks for the tips!
Yeah its I nice little trick! Awesome, hope it all goes well for you! Have a good one!
Thanks for your insights on growing stevia. You did a fine job .I like your accent Here in central Florida I grow stevia in big pots and they do well but the seeds are tiny so they need fine soil or seed starting mix and careful watering for germination. Hope to catch your other vids.Have a super week,mate.
Thanks for the video! I needed this information for my book, you helped a ton, have a good one during these times.
I have received my stevia seeds and it will my first time growing stevia. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Very helpful. Keep it up 👍 🥰
Terima kasih ilmunya
Mine in pots are 10 to 15. Inches the ones in the garden with mulch are 6 feet tall.
Keep on uploading, your videos will become helpful in the near future.
Yeah, ta, thanks young matie
I've just bought a Stevenage plant. Thankyou for the great planting information. Also im having a problem with slugs cince the fires, there been after the chicken food bags rather than the plants until this summer. so thanks for the heads up on that one I wouldn't have thought about that.
Eager to checkout your link on snails and slugs.
Well done
Good information provided thank you
Cheers. glad you found it helpful
Thank you for all your very helpful information but did you grow the stevia plant from seeds I understand it can be very difficult
It is! Torturous, 😂. I finally ended up getting some BEAUTIFUL starts on Etsy from a wonderful seller. Packaged extremely well with no soil loss and they have been happily transplanted. So far, so good. My biggest issue is overwatering so I’m being really conscious of that. 🤞
Love Ps. 19:10 The desire of my life!
Dude why did you plant that Stevia in one corner of the big pot ? I didnt hear you say why later on in the video as you said you would explain.
That was because I planted a small flowering bush on the other side of the pot, so I wanted to make room for it! Cheers Barry
Thanks Jacob
thanks for the video
Malmborg's in Blaine MN had all kinds of bugs in the soil when I bought it, why did bugs move into it?
Sweet ! 😂
I want to start my own stevia plants bought some seeds. How often do you water the plants pls.
Nice, its great to grow! Although seeds are very hard to germinate so I buy seedlings, but you might have a better climate. I water mine every few days. Cheers Karen, all the best with it!
Hi,I m in need of that plant
Thank you. I am thinking of getting a Stevia plant and was wondering how well it would do in about the size pot you have it in. I read that it grows to about 3ft X 3ft so I didn't know if it needed a huge pot.
I have a stevia however it’s just one large stem not bushy. Should I cut it back for it to get thick
Love this site Jacob, well done. I have the same containers as you have used for the Stevia, but, did you drill holes into the bottom???
Thanks Corry! Awesome, I really like them. Yeah I did drill holes in them, drilled 4 holes with about a 6mm drill bit 👍
+JacobsBackyardGardening l am in of seed
So you got them to germinate from seed? Thats awesome John!
Where can I purchase the seeds? I would like to grow some stevia plants to use
A lot of online nurseries have stevia seeds, although they are particularly difficult to grow from seed (as in germinating them) so I've found it more time and money efficient to grow them from seedlings. Cheers Rockj
Where is the best place to get seeds ftom?
Can I grow in Newzeland climate
If you are in a warmer area then absolutely, if you're in the cooler climates than if you grow it in a sunny location and can bring it indoors if it snows then it should do well. Cheers Kishan
Does this sugary plant attract ants?
It can, but only if it infested with aphids or another honeydew secreting insect. Ants don't directly feed on it. Cheers Cons
Where do you live ? It is ok in England weather ?
South Australia. It could grow alright in England, depends on which part of England. Would be best to grow it in a warm, protected spot. Cheers Fatima
@@JacobsBackyardGardening thank you very much for answer !!! I will try !
Hi hansome
Hello,I need stevia plant or seed plz
G'day young sir.... Is Stevia a tropical plant? I wonder if I could grow some here in Canada? I'll have to look into that. Thanks for sharing Jacob . :)
G'day Cleo! Yeah it is a tropical plant (coming from northern South America) but I've grown it in a cold climate before and had reasonably good results!
No problem mate! 👍
Stevia is very frost tender. Bring it indoors before the frosts start.
In my experience Ive actually never had any problems with frost. Dont know if there are different varieties or not that are better at handling frosts. Cheers mate & have a good one!
How come your Facebook link doesn't work? It tells me Page not found.
Thanks Keith I'll check it out and try and fix it! 👍
I want to grow stevia this spring but it’s my first time growing anything and I feel like I’m going to mess it up.
Do you have any tips for me??
That's awesome! Sure do! keep it in a sunny and warm spot, keep the soil moist and look at the leaves (as weird as that sounds). The leaves (should be dark green and firm) tell you when the plant is deficient in certain nutrients and water. Hope it goes well for you Seb! Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
How do you use the plant to sweeten? Like for coffee?
Sometimes I'll add it to hot drinks. Otherwise using fresh chopped leaves into fruit salad is really nice!
I pluck some leafs n sundry it for 1..2 days. then grind it to powder n store in a glass jar..use in coffee n other sweet dishes..
Where do u order the plants from ?
I buy them from nurseries and garden centres, I rarely order them online. Cheers & have a good one
@@JacobsBackyardGardening thank u ! 🙏🏼
my some plants are dying , stem turns black , maybe soil bad or too much water
michael merusso 😢
retitle it to 'how to transplant stevia'.
This is like how to put on socks. Obvious info and blah blah blah.
Thanks, I try to keep it as simple as possible! Have a good one
You know that's not what I was saying.
Either or, I just know that some people have no idea how to grow stevia and I'm trying to help them. Cheers
You still don't get it...
No I do. But to what might be obvious info to some people, others have no idea about. I'm trying to help those who don't know much about this. Cheers mate
