How To Root a Vanilla Orchid Cutting

[@TheFunklin]

Lol. I'm from Florida where these grow year round, but I still had to look up advice from a Canadian to learn how to propagate it correctly. Thanks!

[@haideelinafuang7824]

Thank's for your sharing video to plant a vanilla i learn because i dream to plant soon.godbless

[@patfromamboy]

I live in Washington state and it’s dry here so orchids slowly die. I finally discovered a magic trick to grow orchids. I buy a box of giant 5 gallon ziplock bags and put the orchids inside under a grow light or near a window and they grow like crazy with fuzzy roots because of the prolific root hairs. I’ve never had luck with orchids but I know that growing plants isn’t about luck so I figured it out.

[@aoiahiru670]

Was there ever an update on the vanilla orchid? I looked through all the videos and didn't see one. Maybe it's in a video under a different title? Curious how these ones are doing. :-)

[@jesssheteron902]

I know this is an older vidieo. But I'm new he he I travel to and from Florida from Michigan and with my orchids! I just picked up my first vanilla orchid. I had a friend make a trellis and I covered it in coconut spreads. It looks happy it was in dirt so I changed that to light dirt and batch charcoal and perlight. She looks happy I can't wait to watch it grow.

[@dashanthonyflagg9562]

that really is an unbelievably beautiful plant. it's nice to see that it's gonna be cared for by one of the best.

Hey Brad, watching from central Florida.. just ordered my first vanilla.. thanks for the video.

[@guardianofthesacredflame1649]

What would be REALLY NICE is if someone showed you WHICH END GOES IN THE SOIL! Sometimes you received a vanilla orchid that has no leaves!

[@LarsLarsen77]

Where the leaves used to be you can see a little point, it points up.

[@patfromamboy]

It doesn’t matter because they also grow sideways. I visited an orchid park in Santos Brasil where thousands of orchids grow in trees. It’s amazing.

[@laughingc0w]

Some people use a PVC pipe with holes drilled into it. One end is open, the other has a cap. More holes from the top, less holes as you go towards the bottom. You water from the top and it ends up watering the whole plant. I think it would do well with spaghnum moss glued (silicone or super glue) to it so you’re basically watering the spagnhum

[@DawnEdwards6267]

Very nice! Wish I had friends around here to give me a cutting! My Phalaenopsis in in bloom!

[@CyaneInkArt]

Great, I'm currently waiting two small vanilla planifolia plants from germany. They should be already rooted, but this is useful to know, because anything can happend durring transport. I think I will keep other plant in hangin pot and other regular pot with some rods that are covered with coconut fibers. I hope they will do well. I'm looking forward to your vanilla updates!

[@BradsGreenhouse]

thanks, hope yours arrives safe and sound

Hi my friend gave me a clipping of a variegated vanilla bean orchid but it’s only 2 nodes. I’ve been water propping it and it does have an inch of roots within a week. Since I don’t have a large cutting like you is there any other tips?

[@susanmorgan166]

hi i have just got a vanilla orchid cutting it only has 2 leaves and no knodes above them or lower down under them do i still pot it in the same way as yours the lower part of the stem is aprox 3 inches below bottom leaf any advise would be great

[@liviu011]

Actually I had some problems with the common vanilla orchid, which I bought from a common plant shop. I did not take care to repot it after I bought it and I kept it in the original pot/soil for about one year. In the meantime I observed that the plant doesn´t really develop and some leaves started to fade and get dry, but I assumed initially to be normal. When I decided in the end that I should do something about it (to check the roots and to repot to a new soil) I found a strange worm/insect in the soil (it had probably extravagant dinner with the roots of my orchid) and I realized that two of the 3 growths that I had in the pot had completely no roots, while the third had only a tiny fragile root. Basically I repoted all three in a new medium (bark + moss) and while one of the growths got stiff and it started to develop, the others to got limper and limper and started to dry out starting from the pot. That´s how I arrived in the end at this video. I have basically two growth with no roots, similar to the one in the video, which I repoted previously and they did not grow any roots. Based on this video, I will try a different kind of medium mixture. Thanks for the video.

[@carmengomez-munoz4723]

Great idea on the way you add the ties!

[@AprilMarie-bx3qd]

I had a vanilla orchid that was destroyed, and I managed to save some pieces and get them to root, but they have no leaves. What should I do? Will they grow?

[@MissyR2538]

That is definitely a gorgeous vanilla orchid! How is it doing these days? You probably have a video on it already, if so sorry, I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing n God bless!😇

[@lookthrumyeyes]

A question Brad: What have you used for the walls of your greenhouse?

[@crochetgottaloveit]

I have a small vanilla orchid I bought off eBay about 3 years ago. It's about 8 inches now. It's not a variegated leaf variety, but it's a solid green. Question: do all varieties of vanilla orchids produce the beans eventually, since I would love to be able to harvest some. I've just let it be in the medium it came in but I think the roots might need some care. I have leca pebbles-could I grow mine semi-hydroponically in those and have it do better?

[@sirtonylancelot6782]

I have only one node right now and it looks like there's two white bumps where roots may grow. I have the node in a cup of water. What do you recommended i do at this point?

[@cluelessslime7364]

how handy i just had some cuttings!

[@BradsGreenhouse]

really! awesome. Good luck!

[@toadshade1]

I am in Georgia USA. Currently building a big greenhouse for tropicals. Most of my plants can tolerate temps that will not go below freezing. I have some philodendrons that do not like it below 50 degrees F. So that is the current low point I like to keep my greenhouse in the winter. Since you are in Canada, do you have a temperature requirement for your orchids in a greenhouse? I have tested my phalaenopsis (poor things) at the 50 degree temps in winter and they seem to thrive and even start flowering in the winter (probably thinking they are about to give up the ghost). My goal is to grow Vanilla and let it really climb through the greenhouse. Are you aware of any low point temps that would be a "no go" for a vanilla?

[@alisonh5527]

What fertilizer do you use man - I just started following your videos. Just got a vanilla vine from my local exotic plant shop and I really want to do it right. I am not quite sure which species it is however. It is not variegated however.

[@christineflygirl]

I am also in Canada but I am not sure there is enough humidity in my apartment. I have tons of light but in the winter, 30% humidity. I would love to try and grow a vanilla but without a greenhouse..?😥

[@SAPPY4HAPPY1]

Try a spray bottle with slightly warm water and mist ur plant once or twice a day. I have vanilla orchids growing in my house doing quite well.

[@brendajernigan7642]

Beautiful plant.

[@jakubr4634]

I am wondering how to remove the vanilla orchid from the previous stick it was attached to. Can I simply pull it, when I have to repot it? The current support is getting too short...

[@plantingitreal]

Could it be rooted in leca and when you fertilize it, do you give it orchid fertilizer?

[@gabrielookami8774]

Great video, and perfect timing as i will be repotting mine tomorrow, bought two weeks ago in discount section and it already started to show new growth tips.Hope it will do ok on my windowsill. Can't wait to see the followups of the three you have.

[@BradsGreenhouse]

good find! my does fine in the house, I'm sure yours will as well

[@silva7493]

Do you water it? If so, how do you do it, do you spray the plant or water the substrate? Could you also mix cinnamon into the substrate? I just got a cutting in the mail and came here to find out what to do next, so thanks for the demo. Very informative.

[@pablobadillo3025]

Sorry if it's too late to answer, but I water the plant once a week and apply spray water to the aerial roots every night

[@parfira]

@@pablobadillo3025 at what temperature do you keep it?

[@pablobadillo3025]

i moved mine to my garden where i have tree and let it climb it, so the temperature the plant recives changes depending if it's receiving sunlight or shade, my city can be very sunny so i was worried it might affect it but it was the opposite, the plant's like 7 meters now, my city has a temperature of around 20 to 25 degrees celsius on summer and 14 to 20 in winter, hope that helped :]

I'm sorry I really wasn't paying attention..... What medium can I use for this type of orchid?

[@baileyboo9365]

Hi Brad, I really enjoyed this video and you Vanilla orchid looks wonderful. I have a small varigated and solid green leaf vanilla orchids that I had purchase. They are not very big I would say around no longer than 2-4 inches long. Can you tell me how I can get it to root? I do not have a greenhouse. I have them in small container with sphagnum moss right now. I hear it will take a long time to root. Is that true? Right now I have been giving it some cal/mag, epsom salt and kelpmax to try to get it to root. I really don't want them to die right now the leaves looks healthy just no roots. Can you give me some suggestions/advice as what I can do to promote roots for these plants? Thank very much Virginia.

[@navinsingh1730]

It depends a lot on the temperature, and humidity. Just protect it from cold. Keep it wet with proper drainage. But I am late for writing this!

[@FuriousPsyOp]

Is a heating mat suggested? do the roots like bottom heat? if so, what F° temperature do the roots like?

[@LGW3-Orchids-Exotics]

[@Crystal56287]

8:29 What do you mean by "this"? Potting the vine? So what do you recommend for short vines that have around three or less nodes? I ordered a 12" mature vine cutting but I'm worried because the seller said it won't come with aerial roots. I really want it to grow roots as soon as possible.

[@Borneodaya]

Not to worry. There are roots at all the leaf joints. Pin down two leaf joints to you growing medium and they should root.

[@laughingc0w]

So pretty!

any recommendations for what type of LED lights to buy? Mostly asking for cattleya orchids, which need brighter lights.

Thanks for the excellent videos! Also fantastic idea on tagging and dating your plants, I keep a list on my phone of when I acquired each one, but I never thought to put it right on the plant itself, that's brilliant!

What do you fertilize your vanilla orchids with?

[@fennecweb]

Is there a reason why you didn't just put the stake on the outside of the pot? I find that all wood placed in the pots gets moldy.

not really, just keeping it neat and tidy, by the time it rots, i will have replaced it.
