sockmoney named the Stevia plant she sent me and his name is Mr. Stevia. Mr. Stevia is now in a 5 gallon grow bag with fresh potting soil mix. His leaves were drooping due to being in a box but I think he will straighten up his leaves, hopefully by tomorrow.

I took off one tiny leaf and bit it and oh, my goodness, the sweet will take over your mouth just with that little bit. Much sweeter than sugar.

I measured Mr. Stevia and he is about 21 inches tall after his small branches straighten up, from where the plant goes into the soil.

When thinking of TSHTF, a Stevia plant would give you sweetener for sure.

Thank you so much, sockmonkey!

Thank you so much, sockmonkey!

You're welcome. Glad he's gone to a good home. That little 6" piece of Mr Stevia that I accidentally broke off, and just stuck in the ground in my garden was droopy last night, but after two little rain showers, it's perked up. I wonder if it will root?
