Does anyone know anything about this plant? I actually ordered one because I needed to bring my mailorder up to the minimum cost. It was the only thing that I either did not already have or knew I did not want but was the right price. So I have this plant coming but do not know what to expect or how to use it. Hope someone can help. Jerry

It must go by some other name, because there is absolutely nothing about it in any of my Asian veggie books, nor via any of the internet search engines. Where did you buy it from & does it have a scientific name?

It is usually spelt Chaplu or chaploo and is Piper sarmentosum. Sometimes wrongly identified as Piper betle, which doesn't have glossy and tender leaves.

Here's a Thai Food Company site that has some pics & info on using the plant you bought. They also sell fresh bunches of it for cooking.

Thanks for all of the information. I bought it from Tropical Trees. I would give you his link but I do not know how to do that. I'm sure anyone could google it easily. Jerry
