***This post is a part of my April A to Z series where this year I will be highlighting different plants each day. Check out this page to see all of my posts combined on one easy sheet. ***
Vanilla planifolia
Origin- South East Mexico and Guatemala
Lighting –best with bright light but will survive in low light conditions
Water – loves humid conditions (75%rh+) and moist soil
Temperature-loves warm 70+ temperatures
This orchid is also a vine that will climb and attach itself to a tree. The flowers last one day only and must be pollinated to produce a seed pod “vanilla bean”. Seed pods will only be produced on plants that are mature which is typically larger than 10′ so don’t expect any vanilla beans in your future. The seed pods are utilized for many purposes including vanilla extract.

The way plants don’t thrive under my care it’s a good bet that I’d never spend $100 on one. It’s a beauty though.
