    I just cut and treated some stevia! I'm so nervous! I don't know how it will work out but i REALLY hope it turns out I get my own stevia from it! It would be awesome since I learned how to take better care of it recently. My mother plant is still growing, so I do have more chances for other cuttings if this one isn't sucessful, but I don't know what to do if the root horomone I put on it won't work >.<

    Last July I took a bus trip to Lancaster county Pennsylvania to see a play. We stopped at a country store. I bought a stevia plant for $.90. I had it outside until a week ago. It has buds and is ready to bloom. I'm going to allow it to bloom and see if the seeds are viable.

    I will cut the flower stem after it blooms. I want it to get fuller.

    I have to admit i have never seen stevia bloom I haven't let mine, because I kinda enjoy the plant and use it in some of my drinks :)

    Thanks everyone. It seems to be doing ok, it hasn't started wilting yet like the last one, so I'm crossing my fingers tight!
