Success Tips for Your Arakkalam Munda Pepper
-
Select the Right Support: Black pepper is a climber. Plant your Arakkalam Munda near a support tree (like Silver Oak, Garuga, or Erythrina) or a concrete/PVC pole with a mesh.
-
Soil & Drainage: Pepper plants hate “wet feet.” Ensure your soil is rich in organic matter (humus) and has excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
-
Root Protection: Apply a thick layer of organic mulch around the base of the vine to keep the soil cool and moist. Avoid deep tilling near the roots as pepper has a shallow root system.
-
Traditional Feeding: Enrich the soil with well-decomposed cow manure, neem cake, and bone meal twice a year—once before the monsoon and once after.
