This video is the second of a series of videos where I show you how I grow a vanilla orchid. I have never grown a vanilla orchid before, but I want to document my experience through a video series. I thought it would be helpful to anyone out there that is interested in growing vanilla orchids.

Very nice vanilla plant
Just wait flowers.
Beautiful
Your plant it’s beautiful, I will love to see how it flowers
Thank you so much! I will definitely make a video if it flowers. I hope it does.
Your plant is beautiful, I will love to see the flowers
Better to loop it around the tree to make it easier to pollinate flowers once it starts producing. Snapping off the tip will slow its horizontal growth and signal it to flower once the stems are mature.
Any update on your vanilla plant? I am from the Caribbean, and just recently planted a vanilla orchid. So far, it is growing beautifully against a wooden post - to be transferred to a tree trunk or trellis later on. Right now, i'm letting it establish itself. So far, three plants in one pot, hugging its post.
The vanilla plant invites me to be more friendly, thank you for sharing this useful video
Wow!! Looking great, looking to grow vanilla, you came up after asking CZcams, Subbed as well!
Super cool. I love orchids and how they attach to things is always so neat. Seems like pretty good growth for it in my opinion! I wonder when it'll bloom
I am not very experienced with orchids so I don't know what the normal growth rate is. Thank you for your input. I would love to see it flower :)
Here is what google says on them blooming: Vanilla orchids require fifty percent humidity in order to bloom. If the air seems too dry, try placing the plant on a tray and fill the tray with water so that the air fills with humidity as the water evaporates. Top off the tray as often as needed, to ensure the tray has standing water in it at all times.
Also: In general, vanilla begins to flower when the vine diameter reaches 0.25 to 0.5 inches. Plant the vines at the base of some support structure. They prefer areas with good air flow and bright, mottled shade. A garden tree or shaded trellis will work well. google does not always tell the truth but that is what I found. I would like to see you get vanilla bean pods.
Growing against a tree, the trees take nutrients from the vanilla plant, and it needs fertilizer and water. I suggest try Jadam method works but permaculture methods as well
When it flowers it only lasts one day, mid spring to late summer, keep a good eye out for the blooms!! I guess if it blooms then if pollinated it would make a bean
It is neat.
The air plant is ball moss. Really not a good plant to allow to grow in your oak. Spanish moss is fine, ball moss not so much.
Thank you for the advice! I did not know what that plant was called.
Vanilla beans take 9 months to cure before you can use for cooking!
