Vanilla planifolia aka Flat-Leaved Vanilla Orchid

This is where Vanilla Beans come from! Plants will bloom when they reach about three years of age. Once your plant is blooming, each flower will open for one day. Deadhead flowers after they close to stimulate new growth. Your orchid will continue to bloom seasonally, and seed pods can be harvested within about nine months after flowering.

Lighting: Bright, dappled sunlight is required.

Watering: Be consistent in watering both the roots and the growing medium, but avoid overwatering (which can lead to root rot).

Tip: Maintain high humidity in your orchid's environment.
