Garden Ornament
I have seen a couple of stevia threads, but i need more information before mine dies forever.
We bought a stevia plant from the extension center last spring, and we planted it in the garden. I didn't realize until recently that i was supposed to be pruning it in order to keep it from getting spindly and weird.
I definitely want to raise it for sweetener, and i would actually like to have a whole outdoor stevia garden in the future (once i figure out how to raise it!).
Today i pulled the plant out of the garden because it has flowered and was growing basically ON the ground. Both things you're not supposed to let it do!
So i thought that i would just get it out of there and start a new plant from it for next year--this time, in a pot.
I have read instructions on how to do this, but i really don't think i understand how to root it from a cutting. I would rather not use rooting hormone if possible.
Can anyone help me?
I don't really know what i'm doing yet.
