Pepper tree
Pepper is a tropical climbing plant in the Piperaceae family, native to southern India. It produces fruits called peppercorns, which are used as a spice once dried. This woody liana can grow to several metres in height by wrapping itself around a support.
This plant requires a warm, humid climate with temperatures between 20 and 35°C, and does not tolerate frost. Ambient humidity must be high, ideally over 70%, with regular rainfall ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 mm per year. Pepper bushes are grown in a warm and humid climate with temperatures between 20 and 35 degrees Celsius, and cannot tolerate frost.
The pepper plant prefers a semi-shaded position, protected from too much direct sun, but with sufficient diffuse light for photosynthesis. It thrives in soil that is rich in organic matter, well drained but cool, preferably loamy, with a slightly acidic, neutral pH (between 5.5 and 7). The soil…
