Planting and care

  • Pot your kava kava plant in loose soil that allows for water drainage to prevent root rot: growers usually recommend a blend of 50% organic compost and 50% Perlite or coconut coir.
  • Best located in shady areas that are protected from drying winds.
  • Remember, kava evolved to expect regular rainfall in its jungle habitat, so water your kava regularly!
  • If you are growing it in a drier environment such as indoors, you will probably want to mist your kava leaves with a spray bottle to maintain a good level of humidity.

    Kava Kava care

    This shrub is best grown in deep, organically rich, well-drained soils in moist, humid, tropical conditions with frequent rainfall. If you want to try growing kava at home, search for a kava vendor selling live seedlings or rootstock. Keep in mind that domesticated Piper methysticum (kava kava) plants are sterile, meaning they produce no seed and new plants must always be grown from cuttings or the root bundle of the plant.

    Great packaging and service.

    I loved the packaging. The pink syngonium plant that I got was infected. But because of separate packaging, the remaining plants are healthy. After I complained about the plant that was infected, they quickly sent me a second package with four healthy plants. It's been over a month now and all of the plants are well. (The syngonium that is infected hasn't died but it's not yet fully recovered I'm trying to save it). The pots are tiny, cute and excellent quality. Very pleased with purchase.
