Beautiful plant
I love this plant. Just wished it was a little bigger. She’s very tiny.

Piper crocatum - Celebes Pepper - 3" Nursery Pot (Small) is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Piper crocatum care is simple when you provide the warmth and humidity it loves. Also known as the Ornate Pepper Vine or Celebes Pepper, this stunning tropical species is native to the Philippines, Borneo, and Sumatra. Belonging to the Piperaceae family—home to black pepper and betel leaf—it’s admired for its luxurious, heart-shaped foliage and exotic color contrast.
The leaves of Piper crocatum feature shimmering green tones streaked with pinkish-white veins, while the undersides glow a rich maroon red. When grown on a trellis or moss pole, this vining plant can reach up to three feet long, producing small yellow flowers that add to its tropical charm.
With its bold foliage and tropical flair, Piper crocatum is a must-have for rare plant collectors. It adds instant color, texture, and elegance to any indoor space—and rewards attentive growers with lush, cascading vines. This is the kind of plant that stops people in their tracks and becomes the highlight of your collection.
Each plant is unique—expect natural variations in leaf color and variegation.
You’ll receive one healthy live plant in the nursery-pot or hanging-basket size selected above. The listed size refers to the approximate diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s total height or width.
Because every plant is naturally unique, height, fullness, leaf count, coloration, variegation, vine length, maturity, and overall shape may differ from the photographs.
Unless the product listing specifically states otherwise, plants arrive in a standard nursery grow pot. Decorative planters, baskets, saucers, stands, and other accessories are sold separately.
Please allow approximately 10–15 business days for processing and preparation. Ten business days is the earliest end of the range, and many orders require most or all of the stated processing window.
Processing time is separate from carrier transit time. Local NYC delivery also requires preparation and does not automatically mean same-day or next-day service.
Orders may occasionally require additional time because of plant availability, order volume, weather, seasonal demand, or courier coordination. We will send an update when confirmed fulfillment, tracking, or delivery information becomes available.
Each live plant is inspected and packed according to its size, shape, and shipping needs. Soil and foliage may be secured to reduce movement during transit, and protective materials may be added when appropriate.
Temporary drooping, shifted soil, limited leaf loss, or minor cosmetic stress can occur while a plant adjusts after shipping. This does not necessarily mean the plant is unhealthy.
Unpack the plant promptly and carefully remove all protective packaging. Place it in appropriate light and allow it time to adjust to its new environment.
Check the soil before watering. Do not water automatically upon arrival because the plant may already have adequate moisture. Avoid immediately fertilizing, heavily pruning, or repeatedly moving the plant while it acclimates.
We generally recommend allowing a newly delivered plant time to acclimate before repotting unless there is an urgent plant-health reason to do so.
Repotting an eligible small plant during the first 15 days may void the Plant Health Guarantee because it can make the cause of decline difficult to determine.
Report shipping or delivery damage within 48 hours. Keep the plant and all packaging while the concern is being reviewed.
Please provide your order number, a photograph of the entire plant, close-up photographs of the concern, and photographs of the box and packaging when applicable.
Small plants in nursery pots measuring 8 inches and below may also qualify for our 15-Day Plant Health Guarantee. Large plants in nursery pots measuring 10 inches and above have a 48-hour inspection and reporting window.
