Origins and History of Domestication

Stevia rebaudiana is a tender perennial herb native to Paraguay and parts of Brazil, where it has been cultivated and used for centuries by the Guaraní people. Long before modern sugar production, Indigenous communities valued stevia—known as ka’a he’ê, meaning “sweet herb”—as a natural sweetener for teas, medicinal preparations, and foods. Its use spread gradually through South America, and by the late 19th and early 20th centuries, botanists documented and classified the plant. Though now globally known, stevia remains closely tied to traditional cultivation methods and seed lines preserved through open-pollinated and small-scale growing, giving it strong heirloom significance.

Appearance and Characteristics

Stevia is a bushy, upright herb that typically grows 18–36 inches tall. It produces slender, branching stems with soft, serrated, bright green leaves that contain natural sweet compounds called steviol glycosides. The sweetness is concentrated in the leaves, which can be 200–300 times sweeter than sugar. In late summer to early fall, mature plants produce small, white, tubular flowers, especially as daylight shortens. The plant has a delicate root system and a naturally airy growth habit, making it well-suited to garden beds, containers, and raised planters.

Culinary Uses

Stevia leaves are traditionally used fresh or dried to sweeten teas, herbal infusions, and beverages. A small amount goes a long way, making it a valuable sugar alternative for people reducing refined sugar intake. Leaves can be dried and crushed into powder or infused into syrups, tinctures, and extracts. Stevia pairs well with mint, lemon balm, chamomile, and other herbal teas. Because its sweetness intensifies with heat, it is best used sparingly in cooking and baking, often blended with other natural sweeteners.

Growing Tips

Stevia thrives in warm conditions and well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. It prefers full sun but benefits from light afternoon shade in very hot climates. Best grown in USDA Zones 9–11 as a perennial, it can be grown as an annual or container plant in cooler zones. Stevia grows well in containers as a houseplant or on the patio—choose a 14" diameter pot and use well-drained soil. Seeds should be sown shallowly, as they require light to germinate—press seeds gently into the soil or cover with no more than ⅛ inch of fine soil. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Transplants should be spaced 12–18 inches apart to allow for branching growth.

Days to Maturity

Stevia reaches usable leaf harvest size in approximately 90–100 days from seed. Plants grown from cuttings or transplants mature more quickly. Sweetness increases as plants approach flowering, making late summer an ideal time for major harvests. Stevia rebaudiana seeds naturally have low germination, typically 10 - 40% though good viability can reach 50-70% or more with ideal light (light-dependent) and warmth (70-75°F). For best results plant more seeds. Use double or triple the seeds you need for plants.

Harvesting Guidance

Leaves can be harvested lightly throughout the growing season once plants are well established. For maximum sweetness, harvest just before flowering by cutting stems back by one-third to one-half. This also encourages bushier regrowth. For preservation, stems can be bundled and air-dried in a warm, shaded, well-ventilated space, then stripped of leaves once fully dry. In colder regions, container-grown plants can be brought indoors before frost and overwintered in a sunny window.

Perfect aged book
Format: Paperback
I truly liked this book for our son when he was 3 years old. It was done very simple and to the point. It allowed you as a parent to add on if you wanted and to talk about the pages. This was a very helpful book in our house.

Engaging & Effective for toddlers w/Autism!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
My almost 3 year old was recently diagnosed with Autism. He struggles with transitions and also has a speech delay, which often contributes to big meltdowns when he doesn’t get his way. He’s been a “hitter” since about 18M… and it’s so hard! I know he has big emotions and can’t regulate them easily. This book is FANTASTIC! It’s easy to read and has cute and relatable illustrations. It can be a little repetitive, but that’s what helps get the point across. Let’s face it, my son is also very repetitive, so it seems to resonate with him. It talks about different feelings and emotions, how it’s ok to feel that way, and how to handle them without hitting. For example, you can use your words to ask a grownup for help; you can draw an angry picture; you can squeeze your hands into a ball and release them, etc. There’s different options for different scenarios, and each one is described in a way that toddlers can figure out how to do it themselves. His favorite is to squeeze his hands into a fist, or give his body a big “squeeze hug.” I’ve already caught him doing that a few times instead of slapping me! It’ll take practice (like the book mentions) but I think he’ll be able to self-regulate better with some of these ideas!! I also have some new phrases to use and picked up some sign language. I love the tips for caregivers in the back! If you have a hitter (especially one on the spectrum), you need this! I actually like it better than our other book, Hands Are Not for Hitting. Similar story line, but this one is more detailed and better suited for older toddlers. I highly recommend it!! Hope this helps ☺️

Wonderful Book for Toddlers and Up!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Great book for toddlers or older! I bought this for my 2.5 y.o. and she would request me to read it every night. She would demonstrate some of the techniques described in the book at her own voilition, which was awesome because it showed that a couple methods were 'sticking.' The next step was trying to help her to perform the technique when needed....like when wanting to hit her brother, which is a bit more challenging! The illustrations are beautiful, large, and colorful. There's one sentence that I think is confusing for little ones to comprehend, such as the breathing method you'd use when blowing bubbles or a pinwheel. I wish there was an "as if" in there so it's taken less literally. However, the flow of the book is nice. It goes through situations which might occur, how you might feel, and then the techniques. Love the page that summarizes all the techniques and the 6 strategies in the back for parents. The pages are a slightly thicker than most paperbacks for kids - more durable for sure, which I appreciate. It's written by a child psychologist, so you know it's going to be a book of quality!

Well done
Format: Hardcover
Beautiful book. Big, beautiful illustrations. The reading is easy though some of the concepts may be a little difficult for younger ones to grasp. Though this just leaves a great opportunity for further discussion on all the different reasons for crying. Great teaching tool. The illustrations do a wonderful job depicting these deeper concepts. Readers may find themselves lingering a little bit on each page, after the reading is done, absorbing the meaning of the words and pictures. Very well done.
