Betel (Piper betle)

Hi,

I am looking for seeds/cuttings of Betel (pls see attached picture) to grow indoors in Burnaby, BC, Canada.
1. Is it safe to grow this indoors (is it prone to bugs) ?
2. could you suggest a store/site where I could get this plant ? note: I tried richters online and garden works, burnaby.

Thanks,
Vidya.

Re: Betel (Piper betle)

Hello Vidya,

I am not familiar with this plant, nor do I know how it will grow indoors. I did find one source that indicated that the plant is susceptible to whitefly.

I found this source which will send seeds from the United States.
