Kadok/Lolot (Piper sarmentosum)

Earlier this year I outplanted the Kadok/Lolot (Piper sarmentosum). As of now it is crawling everywhere as my ground cover. It is a sprawling herbaceous creeper with its leaves are often confused with betel (Piper betle). 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 available for planting at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM.
