The listing, VANILLA BEAN ORCHID VINE CUTTING aka Vanilla planifolia has ended.
The weather is changing so fast in my area, we seem to be a month ahead and it's getting cold outside and I will have to decide what plants are coming in and ones that aren't. This vanilla bean vine is measured at 12" A very nice size. If I have any more that I do on Lista, they more than likely will not be this large. This is a one time shot and hope it does well.
True source of the vanilla bean. Climbing,fleshy vine that supports itself on host plants with aerial roots. If growing inside, will attach to walls. Part shade to deep shade and will not tolerate any frost. Thrives in humid, hot climate with consistant rainfall. Mine grows best in West facing window and just mist with a spray bottle every other day or so. Will grow up 100 ft but mine have never grown that much and I've had these orchids for 5+ years. I usually do not even mist it and it's happy, just make sure it is watered well and do not let dry out. These orchids can be very pricy so this is a great deal!
I've also experimented turning an aquarium into a terrarium with these vines in it and it did wonderful, also if you have a place in your bathroom, the steam and humidity will really make this rock. Flowers are fragrant but you do have to hand pollinate to produce the vanilla beans. Vine has 2 nodes for successful planting. Vine will be shipped in small damp amount of orchid soil and shipped small flat rate box.
