How to grow stevia at home in India?
Stevia grows well in India's warm climate (optimal 20–30°C). Use a 10-inch pot with well-draining compost-rich soil. Propagate from stem cuttings — more reliable than seeds. Full sun to partial shade. Water regularly but ensure drainage. Harvest leaves before flowering for maximum sweetness — the plant's sweetening compounds (steviol glycosides) peak just before blooms. Dry leaves in shade and store in an airtight jar.
