if you got many plants....Ground is better for black pepper
if you got only one plant...container is better.

we grow commercially...so we plant them on ground.
u need a good varieties to get lots of pepper.

I want to buy just one plant,i cannot grow them in ground due to the winters here in zone 6. but planning to grow them indoor in a container. i just want to harvest little green peppers not a lot.
will it work out?
the plants are so expensive, so wanted to know if they will survive and yield in a container indoor before i buy them.

Which country or zone are you growing them commercially?
Thanks!

no need to buy plant. it is waste of money.

buy some fresh black pepper seeds from local asian shop.
grow it. i will give u nice pepper plant.

i can get u a plant if u want in 2-3 months for free.

Hmm, never knew the black pepper seeds will germinate.
I will also try it. have you tried before and had success?

Thanks!

yes..
it will germinate..
but u need to find fresh seeds.

any seed will germinate, if it is fresh and u put in right condition.

can you get me fresh black pepper corns

Thank you, Seedssun. Very interesting about black pepper seeds, plants, and growing conditions. Maybe sometime I will be able to try this out!

well i am inspired,,,,i just returned home from vietnam and cambodia, i have black pepper from both,,,,well i won't be grinding all of it, half an inch deep sound about right? it would be so nice to have a few of those green little pods to cook with.
