Great to see your Paan Betel Leaf is recovering Louise. My black pepper (Piper Nigrum) has defoliated after overwintering in my conservatory and there has been significant vine dieback. Most of the vine is still green and it looks like new leaves are struggling to grow. I have looked, but it does nor appear to be a root issue so I am at a bit of a loss. I will take a leaf out of you book and spray it with a solution of miracle grow and hope for the best.
@myexoticfoodplants6727 what compost are you using for the P. Nigrum Michael. I've got mine in just orchid bark. As you know mine almost completely died back and its recovery has been slow. I water frequently as the orchid bark does not hold onto the moisture so I keep the pot moist but not soaking wet
@@louiseahmedtropicalplantgr5000 I am using orchid bark mixed with “Special Mix” (a blend of peat cut from a thick structure of high-quality perlite, suede clay, lemon and minerals Organic fertiliser. It incorporated high quality virgin white peat from Sweden, this soil can absorb a large amount of water, up to 10g of water.)
