Very nice plant PlantHelper! I've never actually seen Kava plant, I've only drunk it's nectar. Best of luck with it!

Wow some of those large leaved Pipers look similar! It looks like a cross between Macropiper latifolium and Piper subpeltatum. That's a beautiful looking plant, hope I can get mine to look that good. Does it trail or is it one of the more upright plants - or both?

i used to grow this specimen before, it's a black awa, from hawai, s. prowse made it available to us, initialy (note, he does mainly brugmansias now though).

i had to soak the soil of this plant with pyrethrum (it came with gnats), and on top, kill all leaf pests, it came with, when purchased (bought from a person which has nothing to do with this site) .
it's indoors under artifical light atm, too cold outdoors.
late edit:
old black awa:
