Piper Methysticum (Kava)

17 years ago

I am interested in growing a specimen of Piper Methysticum Kava) as a houseplant. I have been unable to locate viable seed (which I really didn't expect) or a live cutting. I have a lot of "ethno-botanicals" to trade. Any help or direction would be appreciated. Given the fact that it's such a well know plant, I'm very surprised it's not readily available.

Merlin, given this is the Aussie tropicals forum, I don;t expect anyone can help you much as live plants or cuttings from Australia to US are difficult to impossible. And no, I don't grow this plant or know a source here.
I think you will have to pursue your enquiries in your home region where hopefully you will find a grower with similar interests. Good luck

Could it be Piper methysticum - Kava Kava? All the other Asian Piper sp. I can think of have shiny leaves. Piper auritum has dull leaves but I don't think that it has pinkish-red veins...

May we know where you are located? Are you in South Carolina? If so, perhaps it's still acclimating to the new environment or not. I'm pretty sure you know that Piper methysticum or kava is a tropical plant.

Trouble germinating Brighamia insignis seeds
Q

Hi Brig ... From: The Hawaiian Native Plant Propagation Database Brighamia insignis - Propagation by seeds Propagation by Seeds The fruit of Brighamia insignis is a green capsule about 1/2 inch long which ripens six to eight weeks after pollination. When mature, the capsule splits open releasing many small, smooth seeds. Hannon states that the capsules may still be green when the open or they may have turned pale yellow or light cream in color. Some seeds may remain stuck to the sides of the capsule. The capsules can be harvested just as they start to crack open. Place the capsules in a paper bag or envelope until the seeds fall out of the open capsule. Most sources state that Brighamia seeds require light to germinate and to sprinkle the seeds on the surface of moist, fine textured medium that drains well such as fine perlite or commercial peat/perlite potting mix. Hannon suggests a light covering of fine potting medium. Use of a mist system is suggested by NTBG. Seeds should be kept in partial shade. Koob indicates that the seeds will begin germinating in a couple of weeks and that most seeds will sprout at the same time. Christensen writes that the first seed germinated in 11 days and germination continued for 2 months. His final germination rate was 66%. Hannon reports sporadic germination beginning in two weeks. NTBG (Ragone 1993) reports 44% germination rate after 3 months for seeds stored for 5 months at 80 degrees F and 25% relative humidity. Seed can be sown fresh or can be stored. Koob states that they can be kept in a refrigerator for up to 2 or 3 years. Hannon, however, writes that viability declines rapidly after 10 to 12 months. NTBG (Ragone 1993) reports that the seeds were no longer viable after storage at ambient temperature (80 degrees F) and relative humidity (25%) for 17 months.
