Obtain quality black pepper seeds or untreated peppercorns suitable for planting.
Plant seeds in a small pot filled with rich, slightly acidic soil. Water lightly and place in a warm, semi-shaded location.
Observe as seedlings sprout with bright green leaves and tender stems; continue moderate watering and ensure indirect sunlight.
When the plant grows, transplant to a larger pot or garden space and provide a trellis or stake for climbing support.
Wait patiently as the plant produces clusters of green berries, which darken when ripe. Handpick these peppercorns carefully.
Dry the harvested peppercorns thoroughly in sunlight or a warm, dry spot before storing for culinary use.
