I planted stevia in a pot. It makes fine white flowers on thin stems that flop over. These I let rest in a new pot filled with soil while still attached to the mother plant. Soon these develop into new plants as the small stems take root. Then I cut it free from the other plant and move it.
A super easy way to dry your stevia is leave it on the branches and place it in a warm/hot vehicle. Then when dry just grab the stem and pull while gripping the stem with the other hand (or through a hole of a colander). You end up with a big pile of dried leaves that I store in a canning jar. One note with stevia is that "more" is not necessarily better. If you use too much stevia in tea, etc. Then you can get a bitter taste. I grew it in a self watering pot to reduce worry about water needs. When it starts to want to bloom, pinch back or harvest that branch. Even when it died down in winter here in California, it came back the next year. Super easy to grow, harvest, and use.
The sweet-leaved raspberry (Rubus suavissimus) also has the same use,which is also frost-resistant compared to stevia. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to make a medicinal drink known as Sweet tea Tian-cha. The raspberry version of steviol, called rubusoside, provides the sweet taste of the leaves of this raspberry.
I love your little tips and especially the scriptures ending each video. Between you and Danny on Deep South Homestead with his porch talks it helps me keep my mind in the right place all day long. God bless yo0u and your family.
I grow organic Stevia and pick a few leaves and put them in my gallon jug of homemade sun tea. The longer that you leave the leaves in your tea (maybe a day or more ) the sweeter your tea becomes.
I have a pot if stevia I have been growing for several years. I boughr the plant at Lowes one year and it has been in the same large planter since then. It has flowers each year, it burns brown during winter and comes back out each spring. I bring it inside during winter and place it outside adter all frost is gone. I have not used it, but will this year after watchingvthis vedio. Tks, Christa. I have used purchaed powered stevia for years in everything, from cereal to cooked desserts. It is wonderful. God is so good to provide everything we need in nature.
Stevia is my new adventurer to grow, thanks! For those who don't have a green thumb you can also purchase dried stevia leaves, add oxygen absorbers in an air tight jar like mason jars to store. There are handed crank grinders also. Knowing sustainable skills for a grid down situation will truly be worth more than silver and gold! Thank you for listing everything you used in this video because it's so helpful.
Texas Outlook I got my first Stevia plant can you tell me is there a certain dirt or food they need or just organic potting soil?? Thanks a bunch Bless you Shey
my seeds finally sprouted. i have tried so many times to grow it. sprinkle on soil and pat down, mist the top, cover with clear wrap, put in a warm sunny spot. took mine about a week. SEEDLINGS!!!
This is my first year growing Stevia and I love it. I wanted to have a good sweetener in my pantry that was not processed. I really enjoy taking my grandkids, nieces and nephews into the garden and giving them a leaf of it right off the plant. Their eyes just light up with surprise and delight. Thank you for your wonderful insight and channel. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you for making this video. I was wondering how you used stevia grown at home. Also thank you for reading scriptures it is so inspiring. God bless.
I miss growing my own stevia. Between the bugs getting to my plants and the chemtrails burning the leaves I gave up. Never thought to bring them inside as house plants. I will MOST DEFINITELY do that next time. Thank you!
I’ve grown it in Zone 5, New Brunswick, Canada. I find it easy to grow. In the fall I cut it back and dry the leaves. I grind mine to a powder and just add it in things like spaghetti sauce or to pop the flavour of carrots.
Hi Janice, Could you tell me if you grew your stevia in a greenhouse or outside? I'm planning to grow some for my first time here in Clarenville, Newfoundland. Any tips for our maritime weather would be greatly appreciated. 🌱
I love that you shared scripture at the end - the very best eternal prepping that we can do. And yes! Let's spread the word. Stevia - just a little taste of heaven.
... Sister ...to make it easier I harvest and put them all in a cotton pillow case or paper bag clip closed and hang bag inside to dry ... Then when dry crush while inside bag and pull out the sticks first then your left with the dried crush leaves 😘🤗🕊️
I've grown stevia for 3 or 4 years and it always came back till this year. I had let it go to seed and sprinkled them around and they came up, but taste nothing like stevia. 😢 I'm going to try again. Its my first time watching one of your videos and I will be watching more. Newly subscribed.
Thank you for this video! I grew stevia this year and want to preserve it for next year. So, I started looking for ways to preserve it and continue growing it for next year. Your video came up at just the right time! Best of all, is the scripture you shared at the end, it made my day! You have a new subscriber! God bless!
I got intrigued by your way of being fr some reason I felt God guiding to me to learn something from you and that is to be kind like your doing. I was tooken back not understanding until you said bless someone and I said oh how nice that she said it that way then I was like hmm I kept watching ND you gave a scripture wow!!! I was omygosh it was God who led me here🤗
Thank you for the thorugh instructions and tips that work for you.I just bought myself a plant and lets see how I do. Thank you for the scripture God bless you!
I grew it from a plant I found at Walmart! It grew like a weed -here in Florida - no problem, no work. It was knock your socks off sweet! But I never thought to dry it and steep with it - I have no idea why. I thought I had to process it somehow into white powder like it comes at the store so after that first year. I just never grew it again. Now that I'm diabetic, I will try again armed with the knowledge I can dry and crumble it so easily. Thanks so very much!
Wow! Yes, Mary! I'll bet it will be an easy one for you to grow again. I have been told they use acetone to bleach it white. If that is true, that's terrible! I will be just fine with it staying green.
My stevia plants are growing so fast. I haven't pulled from them yet but I'm still learning how they interact with the watering and light. Once I know they are doing exceptionally well...I'll try this! Thanks!
The WORD at the end got me subscribe!❤ My friend just gave me a stevia cutting today and I was checking for videos on how to care for it. Glad I saw yours! God bless!
My wife and I started Keto 04/30/18 and learned about Stevia. We cut all cola products and drink Zevia. I have been wanting to grow Stevia, and your video has convinced me to go for it. Thanks you angel.
Thanks! we have had our stevia plant for about 5 months and have not done anything with it yet! Can't wait to try this. I didn't know how to put it in my coffee, so this is just what I needed to know!
This is my first time watching any of your videos and the surprise of you reading scripture at the end and encouraging others to spread the good news made the video so much sweeter 🥰
I have never grown stevia before, but, I am getting all my seeds ready to plant and I am going to order some and plant them. I think I will put them in a pot so I can bring them indoors for the winter. Thank you, as always, for your wonderful videos.
I had only like the video and the at the end you quoted Proverbs 22:1 and I'm subscribed. We're all here to spread the word. To spread love! God bless you!
Best Armageddon ever! This channel makes the Last Days so much more bearable! We all gotta keep smiling and keep praying that God intervenes soon. Thanks!
@@seharris11wouldn't that be great....if at least each state had several Christian communities of people who are like minded...prepping but also relying on God. I really would not know how to get something like this started. Thanks😊
I grew stevia the first time in 2023, but I only grew one plant. I dehydrated the leaves and made them into a powder form, but it definitely doesn’t mix well in coffee or tea. But as you said it’s good for baking. So I’m going to keep the leaves course. Thank you so much for all the info!!
I live what you’re doing and appreciate your wholesome and clear message! It’s refreshing. Also, I look forward to growing Stevia soon. Thanks for the video 😊😊😊
Thanks for the video. This is exactly the way I grew and processed my Stevia. Up here in Michigan of course, it needs to be over-wintered inside and I just don't have room in my sunny window for all the herbs I grow but I did dry enough to use. I'm going to try this year to plant more and harvest more so I can experiment baking with it. I would love to get rid of most of the sugar I use. I love you, dear and thanks for reading the Scriptures at the end! Makes my day!!!
Growing some in my outdoor tower garden now.. Going to seed.. Gotta harvest, dehydrate, use and save.😃 Great to know I can keep growing it in soil inside in a pot as well all year! Thanks for this short video!🎉🌿
Thank you again for this video, Krista! I took the leap and grew a Stevia plant this year. I love to pick the leaves occasionally while I am watering the garden. I heard August is the best time to harvest so will be doing so in a couple of weeks!
A good option for quick and safe drying is using a veggie steamer basket within a small pressure "cooker." Just place the entire stalk with leaves intact in the steamer. Pile them on in a single (or double) layer basket. With other cooking going on, place the pressure cooker on a previously hot range, and leave the pressure valve off. This allows the heat, pressure, and humidity to naturally vent off. The heat and excess water is steamed off, while steam-opening up the cell walls, allowing a full dehydration. When you hear (and see) no more venting of air and steam, the dehydration is done (faster than a dehydrator). Allow the cooker to cool down, and open up, ... and remove the basket with all the dried product. The leaves will be bright steamed green and dry, no browning, and no loss of calories or nutrition. Strip the leaves from the stalks (easier when dried) onto a plate, then crush/blend into the desired consistency. I use the smallest Presto (stainless steel 8# or aluminum 3 1/2#) 4 quart pressure cooker www.pressurecooker-outlet.com/Presto-Pressure-Cookers.htm With a Bed, Bath, Beyond Kuhn-Rikon double layer steam basket (removable top basket) www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/kuhn-rikon-2-in-1-steamer/1044726775?Keyword=kuhn%20rikon%20steam%20basket Can use this method for any other drying of herbals and vegs. If you went into creating your own essential oils, then this process with water steam-distilling (steam bathing) of herbs also works great. Place the steam basket into water up above the herbs. Close and use the vent pressure valve. Heat up, steam, and allow to cool down. The oils will be infused into the water. Lift out the basket and herbs, allowing them to drip dry. The oils will cool down and separate from the water. The oils can then be easily removed from the water surface and bottled.
Love it that you gave scripture at the end❤ tha content was great, it was made better by the scripture, that turned me into a subscriber, thank you oh and your smile too of course 😊 more power. 😮😊
I'm actually drying stevia ight now. Do this before winter time. I also like to keep it whole and don't grind it. This summer I've been addeding it fresh to my smoothies for some sweetness. Last year, I brought it inside for the winter and didn't have to buy a plant this past spring. I really love love this plant!!!! Thanks for your video and tips!!
I had peppermint and stevia. They died in our drought because they were out of the way..... My kids would ask to eat the bubblegum plants. They would pick one of each plant and chew them together. It's like having DoubleMint Gum. They would decide to spit out at the end or swallow. They knew it was okay to swallow so they did that mostly. I'm looking for Stevia plants this year and I need to transplant my Mint into a better place. We're going to be under drought conditions again so I've got to get some irrigation in place. Thank You for such a great and helpful video as always.
i am a new diabetic and having lots of trouble staying on a ddiet. i don't like artificial sweeteners and have never tried stevia. i am scared of it. thank you
Jesus healed the paralytic. I think He can heal a diabetic quite easily. Don't call yourself by your problem. I prefer to say that diabetes visited you shortly and is just about to leave your temple of the holy spirit because now you are living healthy and making the right choices. I'm Alice, from Kenya. Good day.
WOW ! Great thinking. I just ordered my Stevia seeds for a house plant. Then, to dehydrate the leaves. I would have never thought of it myself. Thank You Sister.
Thanks so much, Christa, for sharing. I am afraid that I have killed my stevia. Watering often, as you mentioned, is where I have failed. God bless you and your ministry, sweet sister. ❤️katie
just recently got me a stevia plant I have it out side with morning sun and late afternoon shade, I tasted a leaf and wow is it sweet, going to try one directly from the plant into my coffee. I really hope it lives been wanting one of these plants for awhile
Im growing Stevia indoor as I live in Scandinavia. I make powder out of the dryed leaves. I mixe a few dry leaves in my the. And I boil many leaves into a very strong the/ extrate pour it in a bottel store it in the fridge for anything that need sweetness like my coffe, berry juice, smoothie etc. When I have a sweet tooth I snats a leave... jummy!
Hi I'm from Pakistan,...... you've done a wonderful & informative work. I'm also growing stevia as kitchen gardening and have a wonderful experience. Stay blessed Dear.
I just bought 2 plants from a greenhouse for $2 each. This answers my question of where to grow it. I thought it might not be strong enough for MI winters. That's cool. I love houseplants. This will be great for kombucha. Thanks!
I have grown Stevia outdoors for over ten years. It over winters well down in central Georgia and comes back every spring. I have a couple of patches where the seed has blown away from the main plant in the late autumn and have sprouted. It can also be grown from cuttings if they are taken in early spring.
I have tried for years to grow stevia, and the seeds that I got from different places, never germinated. I finally got one to germinate and grow. It's about 5 or 6 inches now. So, when you said that they are easy to grow, I thought to myself, "Yeah, right!" Maybe I'll do better now that I live in Florida. All the others were planted in Maryland. Not to worry, I'm not giving up!!!
Thanks for the tips, first year at growing Stevia....got a bunch starting to poke their little leaves out of the starter cells. I thought they were just annual plants and would need to be replanted every year, I'll certainly need to bring them inside here in a zone 4.
I planted stevia in a pot. It makes fine white flowers on thin stems that flop over. These I let rest in a new pot filled with soil while still attached to the mother plant. Soon these develop into new plants as the small stems take root. Then I cut it free from the other plant and move it.

How u use it in baking? Plz let me know i want to bake something for my mom
🤣
o !
so that's why neighborhood cats keep coming around
to eat from my stevia bush !

Thank you for this valuable Info on Stevia. Loved the end of the video with the scripture reading. God bless from New Zealand.
I pay $12 for one of those planters of Stevia dried and ground up, so I'm appreciating this video and I appreciate the scripture. God bless you.

I had peppermint and stevia. They died in our drought because they were out of the way.....

I first time watch your video but i love it as you share bible God bless you keep going in everything we will thanks to God
I grow it in zone 3, it won’t survive the winters but grows well from a nursery plant or bring it inside for winter ;)

Good day.
Stevia is good for diabetics doesn't raise your blood sugar
Thanks for sharing now im growing them in my backyard and started to sweetened my tea and love ❤️ it and as much as possible avoiding real sugar
I just received my organic, non gmo seeds. Thank you sister 💞
I got Stevia,. Growing thanks for info I didn't know how to use,. It,. Jah,. Bless,. All
WOW ! Great thinking. I just ordered my Stevia seeds for a house plant. Then, to dehydrate the leaves. I would have never thought of it myself. Thank You Sister.
Thanks so much, Christa, for sharing. I am afraid that I have killed my stevia. Watering often, as you mentioned, is where I have failed. God bless you and your ministry, sweet sister. ❤️katie
just recently got me a stevia plant I have it out side with morning sun and late afternoon shade, I tasted a leaf and wow is it sweet, going to try one directly from the plant into my coffee. I really hope it lives been wanting one of these plants for awhile
How wonderful!! The dry leaves will be noticeably more effective at sweetening your coffee. I hope you love it!
Thank you for sharing the scripture at the end.
I added it to peppermint leaves to make a great sweet tea.
Im growing Stevia indoor as I live in Scandinavia. I make powder out of the dryed leaves. I mixe a few dry leaves in my the. And I boil many leaves into a very strong the/ extrate pour it in a bottel store it in the fridge for anything that need sweetness like my coffe, berry juice, smoothie etc. When I have a sweet tooth I snats a leave... jummy!
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou for sharing . I didn't know Stevia could be grown in a pot . Surely going to try it. Thank you for scripture.
The Scripture at the end just hooked me! Official New Subby
I just bought seeds online, thank you sooooo much for that
P.S: That basket you used for the harvest was Hella dope
Really this video shows the real and sustainable use of stevia🌠.. thanks ❤️
Hi I'm from Pakistan,...... you've done a wonderful & informative work. I'm also growing stevia as kitchen gardening and have a wonderful experience. Stay blessed Dear.
I just bought 2 plants from a greenhouse for $2 each. This answers my question of where to grow it. I thought it might not be strong enough for MI winters. That's cool. I love houseplants. This will be great for kombucha. Thanks!
To make kombucha you need sugar cane sugar to feed the yeast and bacteria. I you try it please post it here to know how it went.
I have grown stevia before but didn't know how to dehydrate it. Thanks!
I have never grown it but my husband is diabetic so this would be good to grow
I'm going to add this to my garden this season. Thanks for sharing.
You give some if the best tips on RUclips.
I do like sweets, I just stopped by because you are...❤️
I added a few plants to the yard this year. Woh you do not need many leaves to sweeten a pot of tea or French press of coffee. Like 2 leafs dry.
Thx just bought 2 plants and will have one inside and one outside to compare how they go. Thx for sharing how you use it at home. God bless:)
How to grow was what I was looking for
I grow it, it is really easy. I love your videos you are so sweet !
I just watched your video on Stevie & it's uses.
very informative.
I will be going online to buy some seeds. Will try growing in doors.
That is great, Joan! I do just love it!
I have grown Stevia outdoors for over ten years. It over winters well down in central Georgia and comes back every spring. I have a couple of patches where the seed has blown away from the main plant in the late autumn and have sprouted. It can also be grown from cuttings if they are taken in early spring.
First year growing stevia. Thank goodness I have a container garden, guess what’s coming inside? 😃
I think my tea is about to get a lot better. Thanks so much!
I love steevia!! Its expensive to buy! This makes my day! Yeah!! How would you do this for baking?
I have tried for years to grow stevia, and the seeds that I got from different places, never germinated. I finally got one to germinate and grow. It's about 5 or 6 inches now. So, when you said that they are easy to grow, I thought to myself, "Yeah, right!" Maybe I'll do better now that I live in Florida. All the others were planted in Maryland. Not to worry, I'm not giving up!!!
Germinate indoors with a seeding heating pad (do NOT use a human heating pad! Way too hot).
Thanks for the tips, first year at growing Stevia....got a bunch starting to poke their little leaves out of the starter cells. I thought they were just annual plants and would need to be replanted every year, I'll certainly need to bring them inside here in a zone 4.
I just got some stevia seeds. I hope I get some amazing plants from them.
