Vanilla Vine (Vanilla planifolia)

$39.95

SKU: A2508-4

Often called the Vanilla Bean Orchid, this all-green Vanilla Vine produces the tasty vanilla bean much coveted by bakers. It is a somewhat slow growing vine and needs a stake or trellis to climb on. Once it has matured, it will begin to flower. Each beautiful Vanilla Orchid flower only lasts one day but other flowers will open on the spike on subsequent days. The flowers need to be hand pollinated to produce vanilla beans.

Great Long Term Project

The vine came in great condition in full sphagnum moss. I repotted to a 70/30 moss/bark mix and it's thrived. It's done great as an indoor plant that spends summers outside and loves the humidity and bright indirect light. It does need a good pole to climb up but with the right conditions and some light liquid feed in growing season it shoots up. Great Vine!

Better than I expected

Have not gotten to repot yet as i received it yesterday but plants are gorgeous with perfectly healthy leaves and stems. It even came with two cuttings that have a growth tip and a third that doesn't have one yet. They came in spaghnum moss and i will grow them in that with a cork log as the trellis for a more natural look.
