Grow a unique tropical botanical with Piper Longum, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its attractive heart-shaped foliage, climbing growth habit, and distinctive long pepper fruit. Piper longum, commonly known as Long Pepper, Pipali, or Pipili, is a rare tropical vine cultivated for centuries throughout South and Southeast Asia. It makes an excellent addition to tropical gardens, edible landscapes, greenhouse collections, conservatories, and indoor plant collections in warm, humid environments.
Long Pepper thrives in warm temperatures with bright, indirect light and rich, well-draining soil. This vigorous climbing vine benefits from a trellis, moss pole, or other support as it matures. Under suitable growing conditions, mature plants may produce slender catkin-like flower spikes that develop into the characteristic elongated pepper fruits. Its glossy green foliage also makes it an attractive ornamental plant year-round.
Please note: This listing is for a live plant. While Piper longum has a long history of traditional use, this listing is offered as a live ornamental and edible plant. No medicinal or health claims are made.
You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Piper Longum starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
