Stevia plants typically thrive with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 NPK formula, which provides equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates.

@Lunatik4 Thank you so much! And how often do you typically hit the soil with fertilizer?

@PonderPropagate For stevia plants, it's generally recommended to fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season, which is typically spring through early fall. However, it's essential to monitor the plant's growth and health to adjust the fertilization schedule accordingly. Over-fertilizing can harm the plant, so it's better to err on the side of caution and start with a lighter fertilization schedule, then adjust based on the plant's response.
