Anbautipps

Provide sturdy support poles (living standards like Erythrina or concrete) as vines climb 3-5 m; living standards also provide partial shade.

Harvest when berries on the spike begin to turn red; sun-dry for 5-7 days for black pepper production.

Apply organic mulch and maintain shade — black pepper originated as an understorey vine and does not tolerate full tropical sun.
