Pepper Plant

Pepper plant is a woody vine grown on poles. Unripe pepper berries are green in colour. There are root-like structures on the vine to help the plant's grip on the pole and thus creep up the pole.

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.

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

@TajaEnjok it can be grown in south eastern states like florida and louisiana

@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.

@helike13  yes.
