Black Pepper Plant (Piper nigrum)
23 reviews
$34.95
The Black Pepper of commerce, this South Asian tropical vine produces chains of small round fruit. By choosing the time of harvest and the method of processing, all four types of peppercorns (black, white, green and red) can be harvested from the same plant. Plants require high temperature and optimum light for fruiting. Piper nigrum blooms freely through the summer months and the fruits ripen the following year. Young plants can take 3-4 years to come into bloom but even modest-sized plants will yield hundreds of peppercorns. Soon you'll be able to grind your own peppercorns for fresh, aromatic pepper!
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.

Barry Van Sant The plant arrived a little beat up. Leaves were browning and some just dropped off. I think I have it stabilized now, but the jury is still out.
Thank you for your feedback—we appreciate you sharing your experience.
It’s not uncommon for plants to show some stress after shipping, including a bit of browning or leaf drop, as they adjust to a new environment. It’s a good sign that things seem to be stabilizing, and with a little time and consistent care, the plant should continue to recover.
That said, if you notice any continued decline or have concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to take a look at photos and assist further, and can offer a replacement or refund if needed.

Mark Jensen Plants arrived alive and with pertinent grow instructions. They are thriving. It is up to me to keep them growing. New growth is apparent on the photos by the lighter green.
