about this product
What is a live kava plant?
A live kava plant is a living Piper methysticum, the tropical Pacific Islander pepper-family plant whose root has been prepared into the kava beverage across the Pacific for thousands of years. It is sold for home cultivation by plant enthusiasts and collectors.
Growing a kava plant
Kava is a tropical understory plant that needs consistent warmth, high humidity, and filtered (not harsh direct) light. It is not frost-hardy, so in most US climates it has to be grown indoors, in a greenhouse, or moved inside for the cooler months. Kava is propagated from cuttings rather than seed, and the root takes years to mature.
How we ship live plants
Live kava plants are carefully packed for transit. Because they are living plants, weather and transit time are taken into account, and plants ship separately from dried goods.
