Super variegated vanilla is new to Wellspring Gardens for a limited time only. Snatch up one or two or three for yourself before our limited supply sells out. This vanilla orchid has deeply-variegated leaves. It is the most widely-grown source for vanilla beans. It grows as a large vine and is much easier to grow than most orchids. You can have it climb a tree or twine it around a hanging basket. Since this vanilla bean orchid is tropical, it only does well in non-freezing areas, but it also makes an excellent houseplant.
• Average mature height: Up to 40-foot vine
• Light: Full shade
• Soil: Well-drained. Do not let dry out between waterings.
• Zone: 10-11
Plant Size
A baby plant, that is 3-8 inches tall, will arrive at your home in a 3-inch-deep pot. Then, raise your new baby to maturity under your caring, green thumb.
