Piper aduncum prefers consistently moist soil. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler periods but never let the soil dry out completely.

Prune Piper aduncum to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pruning can be done anytime, but it is best to do it in spring before new growth begins.

Propagate Piper aduncum through stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems and remove lower leaves. Plant them in moist potting mix, and maintain high humidity and warmth.

Roots typically form within 4-6 weeks.

Repot your Piper aduncum every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring.
