Black Pepper

Plant rooted cuttings in moist, fertile, humus-rich, slightly acidic soil in partial shade with a support structure or trellis — black pepper is the world's most traded spice and a shade-tolerant climbing vine native to India's Malabar Coast, where it grows as a climbing epiphyte in the forest understory. In tropical gardens (zone 10–12) the vine climbs 10–30 feet up a tree or post, producing clusters of peppercorns that start green, turn red when fully ripe, and are picked at different stages to produce green pepper (fresh), black pepper (dried unripe), red pepper (ripe), and white pepper (ripe, hull removed). The vine requires warmth, humidity, and consistent moisture. As a container plant in zone 8–9 gardens, it makes an attractive tropical accent vine moved indoors for winter. A genuinely rewarding home-grown spice for warm-climate gardeners. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 36–60 дюймів Висота: 120–300 дюймів Дні до схожості: 21–42 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 24–29°C
