As a vining plant, the gorgeous Piper ornatum features heart shaped leaves with splashes of silvery pink. This uncommon plant is part of the pepper family– and is also referred to as the Celebes pepper or Piper crocatum. A typical slower growing plant, this 6-inch Piper ornatum is well-established, lush, and growing on a coconut fiber pole. Note: this plant produces tiny secretions (not to be confused with pests!)
