Description: Also called Pippali, this cousin to Black Pepper produces larger clusters of zesty fruit that can be used fresh or dried anywhere pepper or pepper corns are called for! Spicer than regular pepper. 

Care: Grows very well as a potted plant wintered indoors in a warm, humid location. Provide support to the vines, which are happy to grow up and then back over a trellis. 

Note: All Piper species develop little waxy beads on the leaves and sometimes stems - these are a normal structure on the plants and not pests or pest eggs (they sometimes get mistaken for bugs!).
