Betel Leaf (Piper betle)
Betel Leaf is a shade-loving, subtropical vine in the same plant family as black pepper and kava. It has glossy, heart-shaped leaves and needs to be grown on a stake or trellis. It prefers moist soil in a partially sunlit location. Betel Leaf is grown in Asia for its stimulant properties.
Special Note: Piper plants naturally excrete small, round grains, or growth sugars, on the undersides of the leaves. While sometimes confused for insect eggs or a sign of disease, these sugar grains are actually a sign of normal, healthy growth, and are nothing to be worried about.
Available in a 4" pot.
