Uziza seedling

Length 5-7inches in a nursery pot

Uziza (Piper guineense) grows best in warm, humid conditions with plenty of indirect sunlight or light shade.

Plant it in rich, well-draining soil and water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

It benefits from occasional organic feeding like compost or manure.

Prune lightly to control its climbing growth and encourage new shoots.

Harvest the leaves or seeds once the plant is mature, using them fresh or dried for cooking and medicine.
