Kadok/Lolot (Piper sarmentosum)

This will be one of my ground cover — Kadok/Lolot (Piper sarmentosum). It is a sprawling herbaceous creeper with its leaves are often confused with betel. 



Piper sarmentosum Roxb. (Piperaceae) is a traditional medicinal plant widely distributed in India, Malaysia, Thailand, and the southeastern coastal areas of China including Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou. It has been used for centuries for the treatment of wind-cold cough, fever, rheumatism arthralgia, diarrhea dysentery, postpartum foot swelling, stomachache, toothache, diabetes, and traumatic injury. ❤️🌱💕



Limited planting materials will be available soon at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
