Orchid Care: Growing Vanilla: My care and culture tips in my home and greenhouse.
Caring for these Vanilla Orchid plants can be a little challenging, if you do meet the requirements the next challange is the size of the orchid. in the wild it can grow 300ft long. lets set a goal of just 10% of that size! I recommended to grow these in large greenhouses, or sunrooms and provide a sturdy structure for the Orchid. Vanilla Plants will require bright filtered light and warm temperatures, usually in the 60's at night or above. I grow mine at 55f at night and it seems to be fine though. Also, high humidity is a must,since they are essentially mounted with only the bottom most roots growing in medium. My greenhouse has a RH set to 90%.
