Holy skiz dude... I had no idea MIgardener was publishing stuff under a different channel almost a decade ago. Looking so young! 😊 This was a great video, man. Thanks!
I started my Vanilla orchid a year ago Feb 5 as a two foot cutting. It now goes up my trellis and splits. Sections are about as big around as my index finger. It is in indirect light with our other orchid and seems to be loving it.
@@Ang.0910mine produce Rocky Road. Just kidding of course. My 12 cuttings from EBay are doing well under LED lights. I use 5 gallon ziplock bags to keep the humidity up.
Just watch a vid and yes each bloom must be hand pollinated to produce a pod. If you live in Madagascar you don’t need to pollinate as that’s where they’re from. The rest of the world I guess doesn’t have the right insect/insects. Hope that helped. Here’s that vid. ua-cam.com/video/A99bqKvyeEs/v-deo.html
I have a question. I'm in Memphis, TN, so obviously we get good heat and good humidity during the summer months. My question is, would it be alright to pot this in the house during the winter/cooler months and then take it outside in the warmer months? I want to grow it, but I just want to be sure I don't kill it with the price of the plants.
I don’t use sunlight. I have my vanilla orchids growing under 5000K LED shop lights in a large plastic storage bin inside of 5 gallon ziplock bags to keep the humidity up and the 12 cuttings I bought on eBay are all growing like crazy. Shop lights are as good of LED lights as more expensive Grow lights if you make sure the color is correct. I use 5000-6500K LED lights. I visit Santos Brazil and enjoy seeing orchids growing wild in the trees and at their orchid park(orchidaria) and buying dirt cheap orchids at shows there. I recommend it. The beaches are beautiful and the people are very friendly. Food is fantastic and very inexpensive. Greetings from Washington State. Great video! Thanks a lot.
Hi Mr. Luke! Yes, I did learn something new! And yea... I have questions... so my dad said I should grow vanilla (because lately I've been growing a lot of seeds to make into bonsai) and yea now that I know it's a vine that will change it up a bit... but I still love growing and this seems like a fun plant to grow. 1. Does it produce a lot of pods 2. Can I grow it from the pods 3. Does it take a while for it to sprout (the seeds) 4. If I grow the plant can I make trimmings to make more vanilla vines 5. Is 90°f-110°f Ok? (They'll most likely be indoor though) 6. If I can make cuttings, how should I cut them? (Idk if my bonsai cuttings are working or if cuttings just root very slowly. It's been about 2 1/2 months and I think I see a little bit of something growing out) 7. How long should it take for the cuttings to root? (If I can make cuttings) Thanks! (Sorry to annoy you about this 3 years later😅) P.s. I have never held a real vanilla bean in my hands
No, mine doesn’t... I have a mature plant that I self-pollinate to grow vanilla beans. While my blooms have a slight sweet scent while they are open, they don’t have that “vanilla scent” that you’re referring to. 🌸
@Jason Padilla I grow them outside on our open porch. They receive bright indirect sun all day. I live in Florida and it’s humid here, which they seem to like, plus I mist them often and they do really well. My plant is pretty huge (it’s in a large planter).
I just received cuttings and we have dry air in Washington state so I put the cuttings on a chunky organic material and put everything in a large ziplock bag with an opening to allow air flow. I just checked after a week and there was root growth! I have them under an LED shop light with 5000k color. I visit Brazil often and in Santos there is an orchid park with thousands of orchids growing in the trees. They even have orchids in the trees along the sidewalks around the city. It’s orchid heaven. I bought about 20 orchids and left them at my girlfriend’s house and they are thriving. They were dirt cheap.
Great video and great tips. I am growing mine in a mixture of the sphagnum moss it came in and orchid bark. It has a small bamboo stick next to it for when it starts climbing.It started it out just in the moss under glass but transplanted it a few days later. I am spraying it with miracle grow orchid spray and water.. The roots in the soil fell off during transplanting but are growing back. All the aerial roots dried up though. Any suggestions for getting more of those to grow. Right now it is growing in the bathroom to get steam from the shower.
huh i am growing my vanilla in fir bark mixed will moss and coco coir in a ratio of about 50/20/30 it seems to not mind direct fertilizers because of the mix i use. as well as it is very light and hold moisture very well.
You forgot to say you can plant any and / or all of your cuttings to grow more plants. On that note, if you can get a cutting from an older specimen, it will cut your need to wait so long before you start getting blooms. You will need to pollinate the flowers yourself.
great video. Curious! I would like to start growing some vanilla indoor. So is that possible and also do you sell the seeds? if so can you ship to new mexico? thanks
anyone here has grown the vanilla orchid in Canada? I just got one and I am concern since winter is coming and I want to give this baby a good home. It seems there's not many info regarding how to keep this plant inside during a Canadian crazy winter. Any suggestions or links with more info will be GREATLY appreciated :)
How do you start vanilla from pod? I know you should buy a cutting but I'm one of them people who love to grow from seeds. I don't care about getting the vanilla pods I just enjoy the experience of of watching the growth of the plant.
Can you grow the vanilla vine in a Dutch bucket. 👍👍👍👍 like the video If you live in the Far East and in the dry season. The temperature goes up in the 100s. Would they still grow? Or what can't I do if they don't?
Osmosis Jones idk but vanilla is one of the most expensive spices and is in demand, so grow them you can get upwards of $5 a pod. I’m just not sure my black thumb is good enough to get the plant to flower. Good luck
+AuSable Botanicals Ltd. thank you so much i like this video alot of , i want to make a big project for vanilla beans farm , i hope you can help by a book thank you
How do they do in DIY greenhouses? The ones with aluminum framing and translucent plastic covering? I also heard they take 12 years to mature enough to produce the bean pods. Do they die at that point or keep living/producing? If they continue living after they sprout pods will they do that (sprout pods) yearly or every 12 years or what?
***** Wow 12 years? someone gave you some misinformation. They take a minimum of 2-3 years to flower. And then the beans take about 6-8 months on the vine to mature enough to be picked. I have mine in a heated humidified greenhouse and they thrive. They also don't die after one crop, they can produce for a number of years. Like the guy said though, they need tropical conditions so if you have less than ideal conditions for them they will grow muuuuch slower. the 12 years thing might have come up because in the wild, the vines can climb 30 metre tall trees and as long as they're climbing upward like that, they generally don't flower until they reach the very top. So in the wild it can take longer, but in farms they train the beans in different directions to stimulate flowering. Also each individual flower has to be pollinated by hand if you want to get a bean from it.
Got a couple (plants I’m trying to make into 4 plants) Aquaponic vanilla I’m working on a video for vanilla in my Aquaponic more than crazy system(s..ess.es). Planning vanilla grown in a grow tent lining the walls and ceiling....etc. ....already added my Bluegill and Gold Hawaiian Tilapia videos..es.sesss s...much more in the future....probably! Thanks for the videos.
Awesome video, just got four seedlings I NEED them to take. But why are you beating around the bush 😅 just tell me to put them in my little greenhouse 😂
SavedByGrace ofJesus Wow, do I know you? I’m doing very well thank you. You sending this message rite at this moment was perfect timing. Thank you. Are you in Louisiana too?
Very informative- thank you. The link for your store isn't working. Do you have a different website to order from? Is there a best time of year to order?
i just bought one and I have some questions,, I have a vanillia bean that has around three or four steams growing out of it,, would it be safe for me to remove them and transplant them seperate or just keep them together
Well, even if you managed to grow your own beans, it takes about year and half of drying and curing before they became the ones you know from the store. That´s why they are so expensive. That being said, I also grow my own little vanilla plant. Currently it is just small cutting, but I hope it will grow and thrive.
I just got my vanilla bean orchid. You didn’t mention soil. So do they get soil or just moss? 🤦🏽♀️I need help please. I live in upstate NY but am willing to try growing my BabyGirl out. Thank You for your help and videos! New Sub
I can't believe it's you I follow your other channel you are fantastic but this is where I thrive in tropical sunny Florida south of the orchid capital of the United States I say thank you so much
Oops thought I better put the country lol,just incase you dont know the states we have. I live in Australia,but right down bottom end of Vic so I don't think its going to be hot enough to even bother trying.what do you think?i mean its not tht cold here in winter,we hardly ever get snow in winter and it never gets minus or that but it is far from tropical.i am buying a greenhouse soon and might look into some solar powered heat pads to keep it warm at night and in winter etc.or I can bring it inside but my plce doesn't get a great deal of sun through windows.i would have to move it around to get sun all day I Spose.i get morning sun in kitchen and arvo sun in bed rooms. Cheers
I live in FL and I grow mine in bright, indirect light outside on my porch. Mine started producing flowers about three years after I was given a plant cutting. I have self-pollinated the flowers and have vanilla bean pods on the vine as I type. Happy growing! 🌸
I bought the tea plant 3-4 months and it only came with one plant in the container , but the video stated 2 for one in each pot , so what now ???? johnnyg
what's the best plants i can grow in a REALLY hot dry weather " Saudi Arabia " for example! i really wants to grow nuts and beans ! what about vanilla growing in +95 degrees ? thank you!
You can use cold selfmade tea as a fertilisez for your green plants! Juste make some tea and don't drink it all the way, let cool the thea and give it same like water to your plant! But be carefull, it's bad for flowered plant... Only non flowered plant! ;)
My orchid vine grew all over a small tree in my backyard. I live in Hawaii. It had lots of flowers which I pollinated and grew into beans. I had about 50 beans. This year nothing No pods that flower. What should I do?
Holy skiz dude... I had no idea MIgardener was publishing stuff under a different channel almost a decade ago. Looking so young! 😊
This was a great video, man. Thanks!
its mi gardener :)
its me? oh. I guess it is!
I thought the same thing when saw this video recommended of to me and had to play it and yes it is! lol
Dianne De Jesus :)
I "know" that guy too! :)
It's so nice to see him start his own channel and has grown it to success!!! I thought this face was familiar lol. Love his videos!!

How’s it going? Producing vanilla?
is it producing vanilla pods?
@@Ang.0910mine produce Rocky Road. Just kidding of course. My 12 cuttings from EBay are doing well under LED lights. I use 5 gallon ziplock bags to keep the humidity up.
You need to pollinate them by hand to get Vanilla pods.
ScoopDogg1867 how many years does it take to start getting vanilla beans?
depending on conditions anywhere from 4-6.
Basically you have a threesome with implants.
@@obviouslytwo4u No... Just no
Just watch a vid and yes each bloom must be hand pollinated to produce a pod. If you live in Madagascar you don’t need to pollinate as that’s where they’re from.

how about growing them hydroponicly under artificial lights
Love the way Luke makes growing sound so easy, no claptrap with endless Latinised names and complex equipment just straight to the point
Hi Mr. Luke! Yes, I did learn something new! And yea... I have questions... so my dad said I should grow vanilla (because lately I've been growing a lot of seeds to make into bonsai) and yea now that I know it's a vine that will change it up a bit... but I still love growing and this seems like a fun plant to grow.
1. Does it produce a lot of pods
2. Can I grow it from the pods
3. Does it take a while for it to sprout (the seeds)
4. If I grow the plant can I make trimmings to make more vanilla vines
5. Is 90°f-110°f Ok? (They'll most likely be indoor though)
6. If I can make cuttings, how should I cut them? (Idk if my bonsai cuttings are working or if cuttings just root very slowly. It's been about 2 1/2 months and I think I see a little bit of something growing out)

(Sorry to annoy you about this 3 years later😅)
P.s. I have never held a real vanilla bean in my hands
I hope you found the answers to your questions, Michael. Looks like you really enjoy growing plants :) Have you held a vanilla bean yet?
Does the orchid flower smell like vanilla?
MrKErocks yes
No, mine doesn’t... I have a mature plant that I self-pollinate to grow vanilla beans. While my blooms have a slight sweet scent while they are open, they don’t have that “vanilla scent” that you’re referring to. 🌸
Smells like flower genitals
@Jason Padilla I grow them outside on our open porch. They receive bright indirect sun all day. I live in Florida and it’s humid here, which they seem to like, plus I mist them often and they do really well. My plant is pretty huge (it’s in a large planter).

are you growing from seed or plant?
Wow!! Its Luke!! 2019 good video!!
Where can I buy a vanilla bean plant?
Hello, If I need to trim the vanilla orchid, can I use the trimmed pieces as cuttings to propagate the plant further? Thanks!
Yes you can!
You forgot to say you can plant any and / or all of your cuttings to grow more plants. On that note, if you can get a cutting from an older specimen, it will cut your need to wait so long before you start getting blooms. You will need to pollinate the flowers yourself.

How do you start vanilla from pod? I know you should buy a cutting but I'm one of them people who love to grow from seeds. I don't care about getting the vanilla pods I just enjoy the experience of of watching the growth of the plant.
You would have to get a young green pod as the classic ones in the stores we use for vanilla are rotten
This Guy us soooo handsome I can't hardly concentrate on the content (which is great by the way)
IKR LMAO

If you live in the Far East and in the dry season. The temperature goes up in the 100s. Would they still grow? Or what can't I do if they don't?
Have you ever gotten vanilla from your plants? If so, how much was produced? I'm curious and looking into buying a plant.
Osmosis Jones idk but vanilla is one of the most expensive spices and is in demand, so grow them you can get upwards of $5 a pod. I’m just not sure my black thumb is good enough to get the plant to flower. Good luck
I tried to click on the link to go to your website to order some plants, but the link/website is not working.

Very informative- thank you. The link for your store isn't working. Do you have a different website to order from? Is there a best time of year to order?
If you can keep the roots at the top of the medium and cover with dry leaves you will get better growth.

The city park here in Fresno was growing sequoias but they began to grow to big so the park got upset and chopped them all down.
Just learned vanilla is a orchid
Hi great video .. and cute mentor 😁😁
I do have 20 foot ceilings. I grow mine in promix it’s besitiful.
Seen all these videos but what do you start with. Do you plant a vanilla bean and hope it turns into a plant? What do you start with.
MI gardener?!? Nice!
Luke, the MI gardener!
Hi, thank you for this in depth video. My vanilla plant leaves are turning pale green and limp. Can you help?
Probably needs fertilizer.
I was so confused! Who's "Larry?" That's Luke!
i am asking for your help by sending the seeds
Hey its Luke from MIgardener channel
go to store-vanilla extract is expensive- how about I grow some- search youtube- need lots of humidity-2-4 years before yield -Sad dry colorado eyes
Well, even if you managed to grow your own beans, it takes about year and half of drying and curing before they became the ones you know from the store. That´s why they are so expensive.

Celsius please, for those outside USA.
Everything I’ve heard before says they don’t like direct sunlight. And prefer a shady position.
I live in FL and I grow mine in bright, indirect light outside on my porch. Mine started producing flowers about three years after I was given a plant cutting. I have self-pollinated the flowers and have vanilla bean pods on the vine as I type. Happy growing! 🌸
Bought one of these impulsively with no orchid experience....not the best idea I know. But I’m looking forward to caring for it!!
Isn’t this guy the same as Migardner?
Hello, can we get seeds from pods that sell in stores? We are in Mongolia, so store pods probably gone through harsh transportation route...
Wow that is really fast growing. I should get working on a trellises, it's already overgrown and looks like it's just going started.
I bought the tea plant 3-4 months and it only came with one plant in the container , but the video stated 2 for one in each pot , so what now ???? johnnyg
what's the best plants i can grow in a REALLY hot dry weather " Saudi Arabia " for example!
i really wants to grow nuts and beans !
what about vanilla growing in +95 degrees ?
thank you!
Was this before migardener?
Did I hear you correctly ... grow the vanilla orchid in sphagnum moss not bark?
Good god. Youre so handsome its distracting me! xD
Great advice! Thanks.
He has his own channel called MIgardener
You can use cold selfmade tea as a fertilisez for your green plants! Juste make some tea and don't drink it all the way, let cool the thea and give it same like water to your plant! But be carefull, it's bad for flowered plant... Only non flowered plant! ;)
What about harvest? When, how.
Omg 😳 hey there Larry 😅 I love how you you handle those plants. You’re so strong 😊
My orchid vine grew all over a small tree in my backyard. I live in Hawaii. It had lots of flowers which I pollinated and grew into beans. I had about 50 beans. This year nothing No pods that flower. What should I do?
I think I read before that vanilla orchids usually require hand pollination to help set fruit
How many years do you think it would be until you get vanilla?
All-thingz-cool about 3-4 years. It is a long wait, but it is so worth it!
This is missing so much information
Thanks i have 3 to plant now 🌱
Wtf MIGardener??
Can i grow it in dry and hot weather?
MIgardener!! My favorite!!
Can it be grown in California
I thought itnwas him! 😃
