Instruction
1. Seeds of stevia should be disseminated through the surface of the wet earth. Before it to the soil it will be required to introduce the Zircon fertilizer. The box with crops should be covered with polyethylene film and to put to the warm place. When seeds give shoots, seedling needs to be transferred closer to light. The film should be changed regularly (to overturn) that condensate did not fill in bushes. Change of plants on separate pots should be carried out when shoots have couple of real leaflets. At the same time the first leaves of stevia should be torn off then that subsequently bushes grew more magnificently (experienced gardeners call it "zagubleniye").
2. If further you grow up bush indoors, then it is necessary to prepare mix of humus, sand and the cespitose earth in equal shares. It is possible to add also biohumus. It is better to place pot with stevia in the light, solar and warm place. For this purpose well the windows coming to the South and the southwest approach. The high humidity is necessary for plant therefore it should be watered and sprayed often. Stevia stay-at-home two times a month it is recommended to feed up liquid mineral fertilizers for vegetable and berry cultures with microelements. In 3 - 4 months after landing there is accustoming of plants to new life, so it is possible to continue forming of bush. Half or third of the top branches need to be cut off so that on them there were several created kidneys and three couples of leaves from which new escapes will develop further. Wounds from cut are advised to oil vegetable. After this procedure the stevia for couple of days is covered with plastic bottle without bottom or glass jar. Cutting is repeated every 4 - 6 months.
3. In garden the stevia is landed at first to the greenhouse or hotbed. The earth has to be easy and friable. Right after landing of plant water (0.5 - 0.7 l of water on one bush). After moistening of the soil it needs to be loosened. At approach of steady warm weather the stevia can be landed to the open ground (only keep in mind that the plant does not transfer temperature below 12 degrees!). Bushes should be placed in the solar and protected from wind places. The stevia should be watered often, without allowing stagnation of water. It is possible to feed up plant solution of complex mineral fertilizer for vegetable and berry cultures (times in 10 - 15 days). At the end of fall of rhizome of stevia it is better to dig out and put on storage in the basement or cellar.
