You’re welcome

Thank you for viewing,I appreciate!

You’re welcome am glad I could help … and good luck with your new plant.

Congratulations , It may flower just keep growing it.

Thank you ! I found you most Informative. You did wonderful job coordinating what you saw with explanations. I have grown my vanilla over 10 years. It has been my baby monster but never produced flowers so I haven’t had any blooms to attempt pollination and harvesting bean. This week I saw what looks like blooms coming I counted 6 today coming on! I’m so excited but nervous that something will happen. I live in south Florida until Christmas they had an open shade house with 55%shade film roof. Tornado got it. They are inside now I have shaded porch that I put them on to water them. Our temperature will be in the 50 degree nights and 70 days. Should I keep them inside this winter and make them comfortable or put them out and bring them in as needed ? The vines are probably 20-30 ft long or possibly 40 ft I measured them in 2015 at 16 ft and 20 ft They are contained with a wire hardware cloth tube in a 3 gallon pot inside a 5 gallon buckets. There are 2 only one is blooming the other I cut one branch into cuttings and sold them . I used cinnamon on the one cut I made on the vine but it’s not happy. I feel I should cut the whole plant into large cuttings and expand my number of plants that it may survive and thrive better than this state it is in now. Your experience and advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for visiting,am waiting for the blooms so I can make a video

You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed.

Hello thanks for reaching out glad you enjoyed the video. We have been trying to make a follow up but things just haven’t aligned yet. It is coming soon as I get viable flowers. Thank you.

@@THEPOTTINGBENCH Thank you for responding I look forward to following your progress when you're able to share it.

Hello,welcome to my channel.

Hello thanks for stopping by. I just use general feed 21.7.7 fertilizer with a dosmatic injector

@@THEPOTTINGBENCH No thank you for the help I've realized my vanilla plant isn't doing so great I think adding some more humidity and as you suggested adding fertilizer is a great way of boosting the health of the plant great stuff have you thought about adding melipona bees to cut down on labour plus you get valuable honey too it's a win win situation

Hello,I have been trying to make a part 2 still timing for actual pollination becomes a bit challenging

Thanks for the compliment,I will be making a part 2 shortly

Any update on part 2?

It was labeled planifolia from the source. Maybe they mislabeled it but I went with what was provided.

After the new growth starts you can transplant the vine yo your desired area,but if you so choose you can leave the plant in the same pot as it is an epiphytic vine so the roots on the ground or pot do really matter much

@@THEPOTTINGBENCH thank you so much. "Epiphytes" tells everything about this plant and hence i understood now, the pot size doesnot matter. I will wait for your next videos. Namaskar from India 😊

@@THEPOTTINGBENCH Can we able to grow the vine by putting root end of the vine in water (not in soil). What is your experience?

Yes you can use water as a medium

The first one is ‘potting soil’ and then orchid bark mixed in. Remember the plant is an epiphytic vine so you really need soil when anchoring it otherwise it can grow soil less

Opportunities are presented...

Hello … the seeds from the pods at the supermarket may not be viable. The best and most effective and sure way of growing vanilla orchid is through cuttings from an active growing vine.

Same way

Most commercially available foliar feeds will help,being epiphytic vines they’ll absorb food through the aerial roots.

@@THEPOTTINGBENCH thank you!

It’s all about how thick the stems are. At least 5 feet will be enough to bloom

@@THEPOTTINGBENCH noted. Thanks

It’s a very tropical plant,it will not tolerate even a little frost.

@@THEPOTTINGBENCH so it is best for me to grow it in a large green house and transplant it via pot out side in full summer then as summer ends back in a heated green house ?

Yes that will be ideal way to do this. Or just leave it the green house

@@THEPOTTINGBENCH thank you , I pray the Lord brings you blessings and watches over you . X

Am waiting for the flowers so I can film while pollinating. It’s coming soon

Not it’s not … just for demonstration purposes
