You want to grow stevia and wonder what companion plants you should grow next to your stevia plants?

Great! Then this article is exactly for you.

In fact, I show you the best and worst companion plants so that you can grow your stevia in the best possible manner.

Why do I need Companion Plants for Growing Stevia?

Companion plants are great since they can keep away pests and diseases from your stevia plants.

They also loosen the soil, keep it moist and can therefore improve the overall growth conditions of your stevia plants.

Companion plants can also attract pollinators and other beneficial insects.

In turn, chances are that you will get much higher yields compared to a state where you grow stevia without companion plants.
