Stevia multiply - so succeed the offspring
Stevia grows as a perennial, not hardy perennial that can easily reproduce itself in our latitudes. The offspring succeed both by means of seeds as well as from cuttings or sinkers.
Cultivation from seeds
Stevia seeds are relatively small and look like narrow black lines. You can even pick the seeds from the white flowers of the sweet herb or buy seeds in the garden shop.
Method:
Place culture containers or yoghurt pots into which you have drilled a hole in the ground.
In a bright and warm place after about a week, the first seedlings. Once the plantlets have reached a size of ten centimeters, they are singulated in pots with very permeable substrate. Optimal is flower or herb soil, which loosen up with some sand or expanded clay.
Offspring with cuttings
From a vigorous mother plant, you can repeatedly cut cuttings during the growing season. Only use shoots that do not yet have buds or flowers.
In a bright, warm and sheltered place, the cuttings quickly grow roots and grow into vigorous stevia plants.
Propagation by sinkers
Very uncomplicated is the offspring by lowering, which succeeds both in the garden and on the balcony. Make some potted pots around the plant or loosen up the ground in the bed. Bend down the outer branches of the Stevia and complain with stones. After about a week new roots are formed on these branches. Cover the branches so that the small plant can develop independently.
Tips & Tricks
From cuttings can be used exactly the same daughter plants, while it can come to sowing from self-seed to seed variations of stevia.
