- 🍨 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.
- · For pots: Add a mini-trellis or small log to mimic its natural climbing needs.

😎 What is the secret of Mamey's popularity
🍊 It's eaten fresh, blended into smoothies, or used in desserts like ice cream and shakes.
🍊 National fruit of Cuba, native to the Caribbean and Central America, Mamey has been cultivated for centuries and is valued for its rich flavor and high nutritional content.
Flowers emerge in clusters in the axils of fallen leaves along the branches, followed by the showy fruit. This is called cauliflory - when plants flower and fruit from their main stems or woody trunks. Other examples of cauliflory are Cucumber tree and Jaboticaba.
