- Many years ago I had some Vanilla planifolia cuttings which grew very well without much care required! Since many people are interested in growing this species, I got a new one and hopefully we'll get some flowers one day 😄

My vanilla I got 5years ago just got its first bloom 😊 I’m so happy
With the insecticide, you may not be able to collect the vanilla from the bean. Make sure to check the insecticide packaging. You can only use certain ones with edible plants. 🤗
Me, immediately: I want one...
I would suggest burying more than just one node. Usually only 1 root will come out of one node and in case it goes bad, it is good to have a "backup" root. I normally bury 3 nodes in the media (remove leaves before doing this).
The flowers will take a while. The vine needs to be at least 3 years old to produce a flower on it. I have had my large vanilla growing for about 5 years now and still waiting for that flower.
I also have the variegated one and it grows no slower than the fully green one.
In terms of how they grow - if your growing conditions are colder, the plant may go dormant in winter so do not be surprised if it just sits there for a few months and does literally nothing 🙂
you can grow vanilla the same way a Hoya (Hoya sp is actually way more dificult to grow than Vanilla sp), i think it is the easiest orchid, you need to wait a couple of years to make it flower, but they are very easy to grow, in my country we grow them beside cofee plants using the same sustrato. They need soil it is the best sustrato for them. I love vanilla because they grow relly fast. by the way you can add rootex or any other auxin to the stem, you will gt new roots around 2 weeks you just need to cut the stem and add the auxin on the wound, let it dry for 2 days and then plant your stem making sure that the wound is under the soil because roots need shadow to grow properly (sory for the shitty engish)
I've got a variegated one, and it's both vigorous and expressive. I think I got lucky with expression, and it's in a paludarium so watering while mounted is easy. Good luck making a seed pod!
I jumper straight from having a moth orchid for a couple months to trying a beautiful variegated vanilla I found at a plant fest... not sure if it got root/stem rot before or after I brought it home but I found it within days. So glad for this video- I'm trying to save her right now! Was relieved to see the stem rot seems to be very common with these
I've had my variegated vanilla orchid for about a year, no flowers yet. We are still getting to know each other hahaha. She's growing up a moss pole but it's the store bought green on so it doesn't hold onto moisture at all. Thinking of making a sphagnum moss pole for it to see if it will produce flowers
I got a vanilla planifolia last year, put it in my millsbo cabinet under Barrina lights, and... it wasn't growing. Then, I sealed the doors of the cabinet, put in a DIY humidifier inside, and it took off! I really think it needs a good humidity level (I can now provide 70-80% humidity in my cabinet). As for flowers, what I read is that it needs to be a mature plant, so probably a few years old to produce flowers. Good luck with yours!
I have one that is doing fantastic! Hoping it will bloom. I am in Texas and it loves it outside in the heat and humidity as long as it is watered. It is in part sun part shade.
In coastal Mississippi I keep mine in shade but it loves the humidity and heat too. Rough estimate I think it's about 15 feet long, still waiting on those flowers too!! Good luck with yours!!
I have a vanilla in a mixture of bark and moss. I live in the PNW on the coast. So cooler and humid. I got the cutting in early spring. It is under grow light on a diy trellis. It seems to be growing and happy. I figure it will be quite some time before it will bloom
I used your idea from years ago and im growing my vanilla on the bamboo ladder. I potted mine in Repotme's jewel orchid mix for my climate and its leaning on my IKEA cabinet for the light and its happy😊
Hey Danny! Good luck with this vanilla. I’m on my second as well. I’m growing it in a mix of mostly sphagnum with Lecca, bark and charcoal. Seems really happy. I put it outside during summer because it gets hot and humid here in Maryland on the mid-Atlantic coast of the US and boy does it like that. In winter I keep it in a southern facing window with no curtains that is above my indoor water garden with a misting bowl and atomizing fountain hanging above it to give it the humidity it likes because winters here are really really dry.
“I looked everywhere I couldn’t find it” - when you have so many plants you don’t even know which ones you have and which you don’t, or where they’re located. 😂
I was also thinking about getting a vanilla orchid (I guess that’s why it was recommended to me) or a Madagascar jasmine (Stephanotis) to climb on my wall. It’s indoors and it doesn’t have the most light. I guess neither will thrive, but it is what it is. 😅
@@lilyflower5895 Thank you! Stephanotis it is then!
I read for it to flower it needs to get about 8ft tall. I recently purchased one and will be doing a video on it on my other channel. Thanks Danny. 😊 Hope to see an update on yours ❤.
And it must be at least 3 years old, won't bloom before then AND they really do need humidity (50% or more). Good luck with it!
@@deemaxwell4172 Thanks!
I literally watched your previous vanilla videos yesterday because I am wondering if I could grow one. I'm still thinking about it.
On variegation: You have the white variegated one (quite rare in Europe at the moment and expensive). Other species are also common in shops and addicts (and some being rare and/or slow growers are quite expensive :/ ). Only very few are used in producing the beans (Planifolia and Pompona and their hybrids to my knowledge). Cirad, an agricultural research center, has very good resources on how to cultivate them if you want to go further (Mostly french but I recall some in English? nothing too complex for any machine translation anyway)
I had one for years, growing in potting soil in a hanging basket. It was huge but never flowered. It lived in my greenhouse in the winter. A couple of winters ago, we had extremely cold weather with several days of single-digit temps and power outages throughout the area. Most of the vine froze; but I was able to salvage a small piece. It has been very slow to begin growing but is finally about 14" long. It makes a beautiful vine and looks much like hoya, but the stem is a lot thicker than hoya stems.
Thank you so much Danny, this video couldn’t have come at a better time!! I find it so difficult to find reliable advice when it comes to vanilla 🌱💚 I’m so excited you have one again and I hope there will be more vanilla related content in the future 🥳
Hi! Have loved your videos for probably 10 years or more! Mind making a vanilla playlist? Thank you!
Hi Danny! Greetings from Romania! I have a very big vanilla orchid started from a 3 leafed cutting, it has gone very well with little “special care”! Best wishes with your new vanilla! Hope it grows as well and fast as mine!
( Din butasul micuț după un an și jumătate are aproximativ 2 metri! Salutari din România și multă bafta in continuare, ai un canal super pentru orhidee, fără de care colecția mea de orhidee nu ar exista!)
Keep up with the good work!
I purchased my vanilla planifolia cutting from Amazon in November 2021. It was no longer than 6" with some aerial roots. Here in Northern Michigan (!) I have a heat mat (set to 85F), on which sits a 10"x20" humidity tray (in which the heating probe is submerged). I eventually constructed a "mini greenhouse" by attaching a large "Easter Egg basket-sized" cellophane bag to a frame constructed out of foam core (which sits around the humidity tray). I've also placed dual 2" USB fans inside the greenhouse for air circulation. The plant sits in front of an East-facing window 24/7. 2 1/2 years later it is now approximately 30"-36" long and is wrapped around a cacao coir post covered in sphagnum moss. The aerial roots tend to develop a little and eventually dry out but just recently the plant has decided to produce about 4 new, very thick aerial roots randomly along its length so that's encouraging! I do spritz with water several times weekly and provide orchid food spray on occasion. I haven't killed it yet! If vanilla plants are supposed to be at least 10ft long before flowering, I expect to see flowers in about 8 years from now! LOL
That pot is so cute
I've been seeing these pop up at my local nursery, and was curious about them. I'm so tempted to buy one. The nursery near me has a couple mature specimens, but the price tag is pretty high ($89 USD for an 8 inch pot). I had read that they were difficult to grow, but my environment is pretty warm and humid. I'm now wondering if this would do okay outside for me. I'm in Southern California.
What nursery are you finding them at? I'm also in SoCal.
I've found large mature plants at the CalPoly Pomona farm store@@MorticiaLaMourante
Hi Danny, I have the variegated vanilla and I am currently growing her in Pon and she seems to like it. I read that it can take about ten to twelve years for the vine to produce a bloom and the that blooms only last for about a day or two. Hmmmm interesting!
So sad to hear about the old vanilla orchid but I’m glad you got a new one!
Amazing vanilla
Thank you so much for this video. I very much wabg vanilla orchids, both for the flowers and the seed pods, but have been so intimidated! I wanted to have one climbing up a tree in my garden, bug have read they can't withstand the cold temperatures in my area during the winter. Maybe I should just give it a try.
hallo morning ☕ happy gardening🌿🌿 thanks you for sharing🎉 😍👏👍
I have a 3 years old one. It is amazingly big and I didn’t know in advance it was going to climb. I clipped it with clips to the regular wooden orchid sticks, and now I can’t control it. Also- I got a vanilla stick but I didn’t see any bloom.
I was wondering: a. How can I fix this climbing and arrange it so it climbs comfortably? I am afraid if I take down all the clips it will break.
B. How do I cut the vanilla stick when it emerges again? Last time I didn’t know when was the right time or how to cut it correctly and it just dried out.
C. Just to say thank you for this amazing channel, and especially to this video. I was waiting for you to talk about vanilla for a long time. ❤
Would love to see the old videos of your previous vanilla:)
I have two on a bark and soil mix doing well but I think it’s a bit under-watered
They say the vanilla flowers only last a day, is it true?
thank you I have one and seems to be doing ok been growing like crazy thanks for the video
Hi I was worried I planted in soil by accident I am to hear that it is ok 😊
Wow! i thought the vanilla orchid was a hard orchid to grow considering i accidentally underwater but if i can get my schedule for watering better, i might grow them!
Mine is like 10ft long and I constantly forget to water it. It doesn't really seem to mind.
@@Meskarune seem like it’s for me lol
Can you share the link to the insecticide sticks that you mentioned in the video? Or a link to the video that you referenced for it more information?
You have so much wonderful information! Thank you for your channel and keep up the great work!
What about your vanilla Imperialis? It was so beautiful and seemed to do well in your terra cotta pot and the bamboo trellis. I grow my plantofolia with just a bare bamboo trellis indoor and it is doing fine.
My house is generally at 40-50% humidity and it's hard to keep the humidity higher than that. Do you think this would be too dry for a vanilla vine to thrive? I don't know why but i've always wanted one but i've always been too worried that my space is just too dry
Does topping/cropping the vine work the same with other plants? In that, after healing, the cut node will produce 2 vines?
What really would interest me is wether you can get the Vanilla to produce pods, and of what quality they are. Where I live, one pod costs about 4 €...
You will first need to manually fertilize the flower. After pod harvest you need to cure the pods - a total of about 9 months! Lots of articles on the internet. The manually intensive process is why vanilla flavoring costs so much and why artificial vanilla flavoring is so much cheaper and undercutting the prices of vanilla farmers.
With many vining plants, letting them grow up on a support gives bigger leaves and a more robust plant. Is vanilla similar?
I actually just bought myself a new one aswell because i previously killed my also variegated one, so this will be a parallel experience on who does it better 😂
JK you will always do it better ❤
Maybe its the variegation that makes it weak, because for me it didnt really grow all that much and then it got root rot.
Hello! I was wondering if you could give me some advice? I just bought a vanilla orchid, it arrived alive. However it’s leaves are really beat up. Is there something in particular I could do to help with it’s recovery? Thank you!
Vanilla pods must be fermented and goes through some process of cooking. That’s not something we do at home.
I grow my vanilla like Danny (climbing on a shelf) but I can't keep it compact! Every month or so fold it back on itself so it kinda stays small. Any other tips?
hello there,
everything is really REALLY expensif here (Montreal, Canada) I don't know why... it's about 50$, I know I have checked! 😔😫
Hi everyone, I have a new vanilla orchid. First time orchid owner, about 3 to 4 days after having it the leaves have started to curl under. It started to curl under before it was repotted, I am just afraid that I will lose control of the situation if I don’t correct it. Just not sure why it’s doing it. Has anything had this happen or know why?
Can orchids grow in ceramic pots?
I smelled a Vanilla flower in a Botanical Garden but it didn‘t detect any scent at all. Am I the only one who experienced that?
Where’s the video on the insecticide you used??? I don’t see the link. 😢
😊
Mantap gaesss
Mine was 12 $
