1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: Stevia rebaudiana has certain low temperature resistance and can survive at - 5 ℃. The best temperature is between 20-30 ℃, so there is no need to worry in winter

2. Light: it is sensitive to light. It can be placed in a place with good light during maintenance. The time of illumination doesn't need to be too long. It's OK to have 2-3 hours of illumination every day

3. Watering: it likes to grow in places with high humidity. During breeding, it should keep the soil slightly moist, because its drought tolerance is relatively poor. If it is slightly short of water, it will be listless

4. Fertilizer: after the seedlings survive, it is necessary to apply fertilizer once. Apply it once during its growth period, and then apply fertilizer again after it is mature. Topdressing can be more appropriate during the growth period to ensure the nutrients required for its growth

2、 Breeding skills

1. Transplanting: the best time to transplant is from May to June, when the temperature is about 15 ℃, and the survival rate is also relatively high. As long as there is no late frost, it will be no problem

2. Propagation: sowing is the most common propagation method of Stevia, and the soil should be moistened with water before sowing. After sowing, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, spray water to moisturize and wait for germination

3、 Diagnosis and treatment problems

1. Bridge bug: the main harm is to gnaw the leaves of the plant. After the bridge bug is found, it can be sprayed with 40% Omethoate 1000 times dilution. It will be effective after several times

2. Leaf spot: This is a common disease, mainly caused by poor environmental ventilation. After getting sick, spray carbendazim in time, once a half month, and it will take effect soon

4、 Other issues

1. Edible: Stevia is edible, and its leaves can be eaten directly. After washing, it can be used to soak in water or cook porridge. It tastes very sweet

2. Whether it can be cultivated indoors: it can be cultivated indoors because it has less demand for light. As long as you pay attention to ventilation at ordinary times, it will also be well cultivated indoors
