Pepper Plant

[TheMW101010]

Can I grow the plant from the regular black dried peppercorns which are available from the grocer. If not, could I have the contact where I can purchase from in Kuching?

Regards

i bought some seeds today do i just have to put them in a jar and water them now and then ? and how do i make them hotter ?

@darkazer451 If you grow them from seed, beware that the seedlings will revert back to their dioecious elders so one plant will produce only male flowers and the other will produce only female flowers. They will bloom the first time at age 5.

And don't use tap water for them.

Great to see the plant of the black peppers. I love them, we use it very much in our food.

Hmmmm interesting...i should make a video of our tropical peppers in the caribbean.Cool to know black pepper is grown, because i eat it!

I don't think the climate in US is suitable for planting pepper corn. Wow! RM12.25 for 20 seeds. Expensive indeed.

[TajaEnjok]

Over here its about RM5.00 (US1.50) for 100g which is a few hundred seeds.

I have a question, where did you get it?

[TajaEnjok]

I took it myself when I visited Kuching,Sarawak in May 2008.

[TajaEnjok]

no, it is not a chilli pepper plant.

[helike13]

@TajaEnjok It's the plant that produce black peppercorns.

[TajaEnjok]

@helike13 yes.

[TajaEnjok]

Pepper berries which you see can be dried into pepper corns. The corns can then be grinded into white pepper powder or black pepper powder.

[AuronWarrior]

What kind of pepper plant is this? It is those chilli peppers?
