Harvesting Mature Plants: It takes 2 to 5 years for the plants to mature enough for harvesting. When ready, the peppercorn fruits will turn light red. Dry them in direct sunlight until they shrink and turn black.
Storage: Store peppercorns for up to 4 years in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For freshly ground pepper, store it in resealable bags in a similar manner.
Additional Tips
Choice of Location: Select a location in your garden or home that can provide the necessary sunlight and humidity conditions.
Regular Maintenance: Regularly check the plants for signs of pests or diseases and take immediate action to mitigate any issues.
Support Structures: As black pepper plants are vines, providing support structures like trellises can help manage their growth effectively.
