If you want to grow your own vanilla orchid, this is how to plant it. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

If you want to grow your own vanilla orchid, this is how to plant it

Vanilla Bean Orchid (Vanilla planifolia) growing in pots

⭐️ If you want to grow your own vanilla orchid, this is how to plant it
  • ⚡️ The Vanilla Bean Orchid (Vanilla planifolia) is a source of Vanilla extract. If you're interested in growing your own Vanilla , here's how to get started:
  • ⚡️ Begin by planting your young Vanilla Bean Orchid in a pot using regular potting soil, accompanied by a small trellis for support.
  • ⚡️ Initially, the plant will establish itself in the pot, but as it matures, it develops aerial roots and gradually becomes more epiphytic, relying on support structures rather than the soil.
  • ⚡️ As your orchid grows, it will require a larger trellis, a log, or a burlap-covered board to facilitate its natural climbing behavior.
  • ⚡️ Once the plant is well-established and its aerial roots have developed on the support surface, it will be ready to flower and produce vanilla beans. This setup mimics the orchid's natural environment and supports its growth and fruiting process.

A small tree of a pure gold

⭐️ A small tree of a pure gold

  • 😊 Earlier we showed the video of Pink Tabebuia Tree 💗

    • Here is her golden sister in full bloom: Tabebuia chrysotricha - Dwarf Golden Tabebuia.

  • 😊 These trees are flowering now in Florida. It's a breathtaking view!

  • 😊 The Dwarf Golden Tabebuia is a small, striking tree ideal for container culture or small gardens. With its sparse crown and compact size, this tree is perfect for patios or yards where space is limited.

  • 😊 It's also impressively cold-hardy, able to withstand temperatures as low as 26F for a few hours.

  • 😊 Whether as a focal point or accent plant, the Dwarf Golden Tabebuia adds a touch of vibrant color to any Southern landscape.

  • 😊 Perfect candidate for container culture.
