Tips:

  • The Vanilla Orchid is often grown for the curiosity of more than the flower. The  fleshy green leaves which grow in a zig zag pattern clinging to the bark by aerial roots are formed by each leaf node. The plant can also climb up to 30 feet tall, as the mature plant which produces the flower and the seed pods. The seed pods are often dried and used for the vanilla flavoring in many food products. The blooms are of a yellowish-green color with a yellowish-orange labellum resembling the Cattleya flower. As the Vanilla is vining, a stake or trellis should always be used for extra support.

  • Orchids generally grow slow as compared to houseplants. Most of the orchids are required to be repotted about once every two years. In order to pot an orchid, the pot is filled with about two-thirds orchid potting medium and then the plant is set in the pot with its roots spread out properly. The growing tip of the orchid is either centered (monopodials) or placed two fingers away from the pot rim (sympodial). Then the additional media is packed very tightly around the orchid plant to hold it in place. You should be able to turn the pot upside down carefully without the orchid or medium falling out. More and more practice of growing orchids will insure successful repotting.

  • The third important nutrient content is potash. Potash is highly soluble but a vital component that easily seeps out of solid fertilizer applications before the other components are used. Liquid sources of potash can be sprayed in the form of potash soaps. Greensand is mined from sea beds and provides potash and just about every micronutrient.

  • For the people who live in mild climates, growing Cymbidiums in your gardens is a lot of fun. Various other orchids can be grown in your home if you give them what they actually need.
