HOW TO RESCUE & PROPAGATE VANILLA

- My vanilla plant had succumb to extreme fungus/bacterial infection. We were forced to do a rescue mission and also attempt to propagate it. It was the only way it had a chance of surviving.
WARNING: When handling the vanilla plant make sure that you do not allow the vanilla juices from the plant to touch your skin as it can cause skin irritation.

Excellent presentation and choice of potting mix.
I just came from the Mounts Botanical Gardens Plant Development area last week where I closely inspected trays of Vanilla cuttings which were recently potted up and their soil mixture was exactly what you show.
I have a few of their potted cuttings from last year which are well-rooted and trippled in size... and my original hanging basket is also in potting soil without any problems. Excellent...!!!
Love the cinnamon tip! I'd never heard that before (of course I'm a newb). This was incredible. Thanks for sharing this Maria!
It is so odd that ~100 miles north, you've had an unusually wet summer where we've been in a drought in the SW part of the state. I'm glad to see you using regular potting soil, I was told by someone else that I don't know what I'm talking about, vanilla won't root in soil it will just rot (nevermind that my own plant grows in soil) so you have to use bark.
Thanks Maria I have been battling with my vanilla orchid for years ,it grew up nicely then bam it rots dryly. I have change it’s position now to my porch , it did send new sports starting to think it might be my water thinking now that I should repot again not happy 😃 about that but thanks 🙏 will be ok happy growing.
Thank you for watching and I am so sorry to hear about your vanilla orchid. I would definitely disinfect it and repot it new media. This orchid loves bright shade or dappled light and in an area that retains a lot of moisture. It does not do well if it is overexposed to light nor in a dryer atmosphere. I am hoping that your vanilla orchid does a turn around and begins flourishing for you. I am keeping my finger's crossed.
thank you for the great video! for the nodes where the root dried out and died, can a new root come from that node?
Amazing. I would like to grow one. Do you sell a new cutting or orchid plant? Thanks
Hi! I love your videos and I wanted to know if you have any tips to keep spider mites and any other bugs off the vanilla orchid?
@Cliff Hanger thank you
I pulled the vanilla orchid off a mini ponytail Palm to plant it near a bottle pal but the roots are growing out brittle and dry and not attaching. But leaves are growing.
Love your videos so much info, I have my notepad an pen. Big Air Hugs
Thanks so much for watching! I am so glad that my videos are benefiting your orchid adventures...because that it what it is all really about. The more that we know, the more that we can grow!!! HAPPY GROWING! :)
The vanilla vine looks like a phalanoepsis flower spike without leaves 🤣🤣
trying to grow these from cuttings in Uk, reassuring about the 6 months lead time for growth, I've had some root rot from watering, will take your advice
Excuse me, so i have 7 vanilla orchids now but the new leaves that were supposed to create new leaves broke off!!!! What to do to promote new leaf growth???!!
Wow! Thanks! Learnt a lot...think I cut mine up into very tiny pieces, only a leaf each :(
Hope it survives.
I hope they successfully grow for you. As a rule of thumb I always cut at least with 2 or 3 nodes to give the cutting more energy and more nodes to work with. It just gives you a better chance of having a successful propagation. I will keep my fingers crossed that not only do they survive but that they grow and flourish for you. Remember to be patient as they can take a long time to recover and to even begin to show growth. Just as long as they are green they are still alive. Happy growing and best of luck to you.
@@PictureMaria1 thank you!!!
@@PictureMaria1 hi!! Just wanted to share the joy and tell you that my chopped up vanilla vines that I propogated are showing signs of life!!
Thanks again.
Hi Maria,
this is sad...
was the plant you had on the soil?
the other that is in the "air" makes it better?
why you din't leave it the way it was but you cut it in pieces?
does this help somewhere?
stavros tsolakis Yes it was sad and the reason I had to cut it in pieces was because they had rotting and dead parts of the vine that I had to cut out so the infection wouldn't take out the entire orchid. I also cut more pieces to have a better chance of having more pieces survive.
What would be REALLY NICE is if someone showed you WHICH END GOES IN THE SOIL! Sometimes you received a vanilla orchid that has no leaves!
In the video I stated that pointy nodes should be pointed upwards when potting...so the opposite end of where the node is pointed should be the end that goes into the soil. The example I showed in the video does not have any leaves...so it is a good example of what you are talking about.
Very informative video. Would love to have a cutting... :-D
we had a large vine but we didnt know how to take care of it and of course most of the sections dried out. Two sections survived and are green. I cut the dead parts and healed the ends, there are no leaves and so far i see two white bumps growing. How do you recommend i treat it? should i leave the piece out spraying lightly with water daily or plant it?
Can I purchase a limb of your variegated yucca plant and vanilla orchids. I’ve been looking for a while you seem to have a grasp on them. Please. Thx Martin.
You look beautiful as always #PhalPal
Orchids for Dummies Thank you and you already know that you daaaaaaaaling are AWESOMO!

had to do a Vanilla rescue as well, if you would like to see how they managed theirs.
Jacqueline Donoghue Thanks. I've done propagations with vanilla before so I do have confidence that some will survive. I also have done my research on these orchids so hopefully with the knowledge that I've learned it will prove to be successful...fingers crossed of course...there are so many things that can factor in as far as the outcome. Thanks for the suggestion and HAPPY GROWING.
I wasn't trying to say your method wasn't going to work, I actually think it is a very good method, but I believe the more you know and learn the better armed you are to succeed, so I was only offering a view on an alternitive rescue method.
Jacqueline Donoghue ....and I thanked you for your suggestion and also stated that I did my research which included watching several videos including the ones you had mentioned...there are many different ways to do this and I actually selected this method because it better suits my conditions and also for the fact that this is how they would naturally grow in the wild...remember I grow my orchids outdoors.
I heard that propagate vanilla that never been producing bean is pointless because the new plant (after propagate) will never produce any bean. Can you confirm this? I hope it's not true. Please help.
You do know cinnamon is a rooting agent!
Yes I have heard cinnamon has many benefits.
Where can I get a vanilla orchid cutting?
You would more than likely have to go to an orchid nursery, orchid show or order online on eBay or Amazon. The only place I've seen them being sold as a cutting though would be on eBay or Amazon other than that they usually are already potted. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING! :)
Do vanilla plant needs full sunlight? How many hours of sunlight? Tnx
The vanilla plant can experience extreme burns in full sun. It is recommended bright filtered or dappled light. It can also tolerate shadier conditions but is said to do best in bright filtered light.
My understanding is it takes 3-5 yrs to bloom ? Is that only for seedlings? What kind of media?
When you propagate an orchid it does take at least 3 - 5 years to to bloom regardless to how long you make the cutting. When you propagate the orchid it goes through a major set back. It takes even longer for seedlings to flower. The media that is commonly used for the big vanilla types are usually soil based but still airy.
