Black pepper can be propagated through cuttings (more common and faster bearing) or seeds. It thrives in loose, well-drained soil, but can grow in most types of soil. The seedling requires a humid climate with rainfall between 100-250 cm and a higher elevation of 350 meters above sea level. Regular watering is essential, especially for young plants and during the dry season. Regular fertilization is important for healthy growth and fruit production. The seedling needs bright sunlight for best growth. Pests and diseases are a concern, and preventive measures should be taken.
The fruits are picked when they start to turn red, and before they are fully mature. The seedling can bear fruit for as long as 40 years. With proper care, the seedling can provide a long-lasting source of black pepper for your kitchen.
