Thank you for this. I just got a Vanilla Orchid vine today and I am researching proper care . This was straight to the point as far as pollinating the orchid if it does bloom. Love the tropics!!!

[@Mari.Colombiana.Despertando]

Well dear... this might be a small quick video but it's the clearest one I've found!!! Now I understand how to do it!!!... all I gotta do is buy me a plant 😍

Cool. My wife watched this with me.We both enjoyed it. . I've never seen vanilla outside of the grocery store lol. Thanks Gabe.

Wow....awesome vanilla flowers, it looks like a orchid flower !! , this is my first time to see vanilla flower, I was vanilla plant before but have never seen flower/s. Yesterday I bought vanilla plant, I hope it will grow flowers next time. Thanks for sharing yr video and yr beautiful garden and I saw one cocoa fruit, love them.

[@jackharrison9176]

Vanilla is a type of orchid so that’s why it looks like it

[@iamlove8783]

Best example of pollinating that I've seen!

[@AnnasArtistry]

I like how straight forward this video is !

[@MyLily_M]

Ps: why you didn't collect the vanilla petals and make homemade perfume or Essential oil? you also can mix with other flowers to make it, how's that?

[@rickc4317]

Another fascinating video. I had no idea about this. My big question was, "how does it happen naturally if you don't do the pollinating?" and you answered it! Thanks, Gabe. Beautiful gecko, too!

[@gabehumphries5483]

birds and bees do it......its rare so its best to pollinate by hand

[@barrybueler3356]

Nice spring is in the air just sprouted my cherry tomatoes and big bud strain yummy 🤤luv the video keep em coming 👍✌️.

Thanks for the info and tutorial, didn’t know you can pollinate them. I love orchids but didn’t get a chance to grow or seen a Vanilla plant.

[@gabehumphries5483]

mahalo for watching

[@janronschke7525]

actually this is some quite rare footage there are not much Pictures of vanilla flowers even not in botanical descriptions even thou it is a common crop. if you are lucky(chances are there) you have a unnamed subspecies of vanilla tahitienses or vanilla fragrans if you are not willing to go through the pain of taxonomy, royal horticultural Society is always interested in samples or even Pictures... btw you ma get better results in pollen acception and actual capsule development by taking the pollen and actual moving it from oneplant to another and it also can help not to take off the petals but wait untill ist fully opened

[@gabehumphries5483]

mahalo for the info

Would love a cutting! I just moved to Oahu and used to grow it on the mainland with varied success - okay little success! I couldn't bring any of my plants with me so am trying to learn a lot about the local flora! Where do you recommend I buy a cutting?

[@juanitodomigpe7962]

Hi Sir, Thanks for sharing. Keep safe & all the best.

[@amazingGrace108]

Wow! Nice. Does that mean that you don't really need to sit around and wait for the flower to open as many suggest? Are you not risking pollinating then vanila before it's ready to pollinate.? Excuse my ignorance.

[@lauram1875]

Some great unintentional asmr!

[@TheFloatingSheep]

This man is literally growing the two universal ice cream flavors in the same spot.

[@samlittle7243]

I didn't see any strawberries

​@@samlittle7243 he had some cacao pods, near the vanilla orchids the big yellow thing

[@robino931]

Can you dead head the blooms to encourage more blooms and thereby increase the yield of the plant???

[@magbus401]

Hey where and how to sell the beans? I’m planning to farm it here so I’m doing some research. It would really help me out if u can share ur experience. 😋

[@coupleofdrinksrandy9749]

The best way to sell your beans would be online or at your local farmers markets, you'll get the best price for your beans that way.

[@shantelbryan3660]

Awesome all the videos I wanted never said anything about it sticking

[@3000gtwelder]

I live near south Glenwood, by Hiranos market, will vanilla grow at 1,900 feet elevation?

[@julieritchie4180]

Thank you! I tried to zoom in to try to understand how better to pollinate. Do you have a zoomed in video?

[@kipmossberg2777]

you should try growing green tea and some more shade plants! Im pretty jealous of the climate there I live in Washington where its too cold to grow anything cool and exotic like that

[@gabehumphries5483]

gonna do tea soon

[@andersjorgensen2674]

Most tea varieties prefer a higher elevation setting. Up by Mountain View or Volcano, for example.

[@audi3318]

Camellia Sinensis will grow anywhere if you look after it, not just in the tropics or higher altitudes

[@Sunny-rh1yp]

How are they pollinated in the wild? Are the bees that meticulous that they can lift and then smash that part into the sticky part? If so I would like to see it.

[@juanitamoffatt1496]

Gday mate! Thanks for the upload. Just wondering what conditions the plant needs to survive please? Does it need shade, semi shade lots of water? Thanks

[@Guibes123456789]

I have a question, does this orchid only grow in organic surfaces, or perhaps it will grow in a vase and a concrete wall?

[@birazebugembe8210]

Thanks for the demonstration. It was very clear and useful. However, what time of the day is best for pollinating.?

[@maidenpoets3189]

Is coca tree should be the one? or any tree works...!!

[@roberttrue5445]

I did everything the video showed and pollinated 2 flowers. The next day both had turned brown and fell off. What did I do wrong?

[@Bildermensch60]

In the last part of the video, you are talking about a species of middle American bees which can do the pollination the natural way. You don't know by any chance the name of the species? Thanks!

[@gabehumphries5483]

no sorry

[@bigrich6750]

Just curious, how did vanilla ever grow in the wild if it must be hand pollinated? Is there some animal or insect that does in nature what you’re doing by hand? Never mind! As you got to the end, you answered my question. There was a bee that does what you do by hand. Creation is amazing!

[@johnfraser8116]

I live on Saipan which has a tropical climate and would like to try to cultivate vanilla plants. Is there a good source of starter vanilla plants that I can order from? Thanks!

[@taumanifesto7065]

Neat Gabe! Mahalo

[@riverfawnrose301]

Does every bloom have to be pollinated? How long can it bloom before you should pollinate? Blessings

[@reymonddelcarmen3885]

As i know that there are a lot of variety of vanilla, my question is, it is the procedure of pollinating?

[@khammer7101]

Do you have to pollinate all the vanilla flowers for a harvest?

[@lubiaylubiay8593]

Very nice vanilla.how long the vanilla flower will come out from the day of planting bos?

[@andersonwade9963]

Hello, about how many vanilla beans will one mature plant produce in a year?

[@taffythegreat1986]

Are you pollinating because you don't want to rely on the insects to to it for you? Also if you don't pollinate the flowers, does that mean the beans won't grow? Like the video. You go into details with the pollinating that a few videos don't do close up shots 👍👍👍 You just answered some of my questions

Wahy would it not be a good idea to import some of the necessary honey bees to help the pollination process. My brother in law is in apiary work and through him I know that bees, hive kits and queens are mailed all the time.

Pollinating by hands thousands of flowers will be a great burdensome. Let bees, butterfly or flying insects do the game.

[@darylefleming1191]

If you remove the petals, you will stress the bean and it will drop. This guy doesn't know what he is doing.
