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

Pet Friendly? Yes

USDA Grow Zones 10-11

Water Req's Medium

Plant came under 2" and in passable shape. 2 months later- in ideal conditions growing other orchids with other vanilla orchids- it's grown not at all, lost all its leaves, and is on deaths door. I'm a biologist and I can't get it to stay alive.

The plant came healthy but barely 3 inches and expensive!!

Especially for something that small

They say they are sending a 3-5 inch plant. Their website even says they specialize in 3-8 inch plants. From soil to top of stem my plant is about an inch. From soil to the curve of the top leaf it is still under 2 inches. I have purchased mini orchids in bloom bigger than this for less than half the cost. You can't tell by my picture, but because of the taping, the bottom leaves were crushed. I believe this was also due to their packaging having no packing inside to cushion the plant and no fragile stickers and no live plant stickers. The only thing the package said was open upon arrival. Very disappointing. I could have purchased the same plant from other nurseries for much less money and it would've been 2 feet in length.
