It’s best known as a natural sweetener. Stevia contains chemicals that are 200-300 times sweeter than sucrose sugar. People take stevia for obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

1. The plants do best in rich and loamy soil instead of sandy soil.
2. The stevia plant is sensitive to cold during its developmental stages.
3. As the roots can’t tolerate excess moisture, do not overwater the plant.
4. Always stick to light watering and ensure proper drainage of excess water.
5. The plant can do well in full sun.
