💡 Care Tip
Plant your bare-root starters in a well-draining potting mix soon after arrival. Keep them warm and provide bright indirect light while they establish. Maintain consistent moisture without leaving the roots waterlogged, and introduce a climbing support as the vines grow. Be patient, as peppercorn production requires mature, healthy plants and suitable tropical conditions.
