Vanilla Bean Orchid (Vanilla planifolia)
- 🍨 The Vanilla Bean Orchid (Vanilla planifolia) is a tropical climbing beauty and the source of the world’s favorite spice - vanilla. This luxurious plant adds elegance to any space, indoors or out.
- 🍨 A piece of history: Once revered by the Aztecs for flavoring the decadent cacao drink Xoco-latl, vanilla remains a symbol of comfort, luxury, and flavor.
- 🍨 Why it's special: Vanilla pods are scentless at first and develop their rich aroma after careful curing - a reason it’s the second most expensive spice after saffron.
- 🍨 How to grow Vanilla Orchid:
- · Support: Use a trellis, log, or burlap-covered board for climbing.
- · Light: Bright, indirect light works best.
- · Environment: Keep it warm and humid, like its natural tropical habitat.
