Vanilla planifolia is a tropical climbing orchid best known for its long, succulent vines and fragrant vanilla pods. Its glossy, green leaves and vining habit make it ideal for trellises or other supports in a greenhouse or indoor tropical display.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates some morning sun but avoid harsh midday sun.
💧 Water: Keep evenly moist during the growing season; reduce watering slightly in cooler months.
🌾 Fertilizer: Feed every 2–3 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced orchid or houseplant fertilizer.
