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. Review: Great plant - 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. ## Features - FULL SUN & MOIST SOIL: Piper nigrum, or Black Pepper, is a tropical vine that thrives in full to part sun and moist, well-drained soil.

Plants will stop growing when temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. **Q: will this plant grow in oregon where there is a lot of rain?** A: Sorry, I don’t know, I live in Los Angeles county California. When I researched it, I understand that it is supposed to get full sun to partial sun and that it does not do well in cold weather. I got mine in the fall. It got a lot colder this winter and it started to loose leaves, so I brought it in the house by a window. It lost all its leaves. I have since took it back out about 2 weeks ago in full sun. Everything else has gotten new leaves and flowers, but it still has only the vine which still looks green. I hope it will start to grow soon. I will update my answer when that comes. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plant was delivered in good condition *by M***L on August 5, 2026* The plant came in healthy.
