Black Pepper Piper nigrum Plant (1-Pack) Spice Plant by Wellspring Gardens

The plant came in healthy. They packed it nicely in a box with a bag around it to hold in the moisture. I didn't have a pot and soil at the time because it was delivered quicker than expected. I recommend having everything ready before its delivered. I put it in the windowsill for a couple of days until I was able to get around to it and repot it. It was stressed because I waited a few days to repot it that it ended up loosing one leaf. I have had the peppercorn plant for over two weeks now and seems to be doing well.

Once is took root it was growing great, very happy with it, beautiful distinct leaves, strong stems, it’s a slow grower but that’s solely genetics and has nothing to do with the company. I’ve bought multiple things from this seller and have been pleased every time. However the winter I didn’t get my vine inside soon enough and it frosted over and now is gone so I’ll be ordering a new one soon here hopefully. It’s death was entirely my fault and if grown inside it will live forever no problems.

It’s a healthy plant but very small. Update: it is dead there were no roots when I removed it from the pot. It seams the sent a cutting only. So disappointing.

I purchased two of these and truthfully, Im still so very nervous. I mixed up some miracle grow just for these and then added a lot of sulfer, to overcome the effects of the peat moss, along with some other ingredients, to prep them for the day they arrived. When they showed up, they were very healthy and green. They were two different sizes but was still appropriate. I allowed them to set on my dining table and recoup from the trip for a couple of days, soakimg up some indirect light from the nearby window and then I transplanted them. For about two weeks they looked well and then one leaf started suddenly loosing all its leaves. I immediately isolated the other, using a very large glass vase as a biodome to help retain a humid environment inside and occasionally lifting it for some fresh carbon dioxide. However, even though the other plant has lost every leaf, I didnt at all give up on it. Instead, I kept taking care of it, watering it, letting it get fresh air and so on. It took a while but in just the last week, it started growing leaves again so dont give up on them if the leaves fall off. The reason Im nervous is because they are growing at a extremely slow rate and Im not entirely certain that at their small size if they should be growing faster or not. But I keep monitoring the pH, the moisture levels and how much sun it gets and try to keep the growth going. So far, as much as that made me nervous, I still greatly enjoy my purchase. So far, this seller has provided very good and healthy plants from all the different purchases Ive made from them. I look forward to my next 'big' purchase, the most. 🍌

Got alive and potted already small though

The plant was about 6 inches in height when it arrived in perfect condition. It appears to be very healthy.

It has been the same size with no new growths for well over two months.... it has been stagnant but still looks great so hopefully it will take soon

This is my first time growing a black pepper plant and so far this one is growing fine. Black pepper plants grow easy like an ivy. I experimented to see if it grows like an ivy plant. After it grew out more, I clipped off a peice from the top and stuck it in water. It did root very well. Be patient with this plant it grows very slowly.
