I Micro-Propagated 1000 Vanilla Seeds & Grew White Orchids | Weird Nature | growithjessie

- This right here is vanilla. It’s the seed pod of a white orchid plant, and it’s got thousands of tiny seeds inside that are growable. So I got my hands on one so we could try to grow a vanilla plant.
I’ve never opened up one of these things so I couldn’t find the seeds at first, but then I realized that the seeds are so tiny, the dark flesh inside the pods are actually the seeds! And my mind was blown.
At first, I thought you could just grow the vanilla seeds on paper towel, but when that didn’t work, I learned you need to use something called a culture or tissue growth medium to allow the seeds to actually grow. So I got some. And I tried growing some vanilla!
Here’s what happened.

Dear lord. If thus works I'm throwing out my biology degree
Same here😂
HAHAHAHAHA hey, i apologized to all my biology majors in the vid :P
ahahahhaha
@@growithjessie To a certain degree yes
@@growithjessieI want to make an ERROR with you. ❤😂
I adopted my orchids from a friend and since I started watering them with fishing turtle poop water they now flower almost all year round. I have orchids loaded with flowers in English winter !
OMG! no way! where do you buy your fishing turtle poop? asking for a friend....:P jk jk i need to buy some
@@growithjessie I have a pet turtle and I have to do regular water changes so I just water all my plants with it and it’s done absolute wonders for all of them but especially and most noticeably my orchids.
@galactic_rats oh no, now Jessie will buy a pet turtle and she will get in trouble for space 😂
@Galactic_rats although it's not the same at all, I use my fish tank water for some of my plants/flowers 😊
I feel like you’d be the coolest roommate, a new projects practically every week and a TON of plants, and I happen to love plants
THANKS SO MUCH
she is my niche obsession
thank you soooo much
Already got some growing! Got a tissue culture kit for Christmas and tried to tissue culture monstera and vanilla. The monstera molded, but the vanilla is still alive!
Did it sprout
Yes! 2 of them are growing now, and this was actually from a processed vanilla paste.
I’m try any way I should try it?
omg which tissue culture did you use?!?
no wayyyyyyy would you be able to send me pics to my instagram? i want to check it out and maybe feature your success in my next update video???
phewwwf, quite a process.. I guess this is why they just squeezed beaver butts for vanilla flavour for much of the last century!
hahahahah right?!?!? thanks for watching
been following this with interest.
thanks so much Cody!
Damn, quite the process to grow vanilla 😅
I love watching your videos about growing plants which gets me to grow plants myself
awwww thank you so much. I really appreciate that
@@growithjessie My next quest is to go and try to grow a passion fruit or a pomelo 😁
Thank so much for sharing! My favorite thing to do is listen for the word you growl but it takes me by surprise every time!
Thanks so much
I love vanilla too, it's sooo good! And I also love your videos, I've got some tomatoes in my home going because of you, thanks!
Gloves would've made it more sterile 🙂. I think you could've sterilized the knife with either a flame, boiling or a bleach solution. Don't talk over an agar plate, your mouth has yuck in it. Try not moving it around the home while open. Admittedly, the last two tips sucks for a youtuber!
Source: Biotech engineer student, so I'm sure there are people who know more and I'm definitely up for seeing comments about corrections. I've also never had to grow vanilla seeds in an agar plate.
THANK YOU so much for the update ❤🎉
thank YOU for coming by
Jessie, when you are trying to grow orchids in water, are you filling the whole pot/vase with water or leaving it partly filled?
The way I do it is only fill the vase about 1/3 of the way, and its worked out great for me. I even have one in water that's about to bloom!
I left it partly filled. Ok i love to hear it worked for you. I am waiting for mine to revive itself!!! I finished the WATER / OUT OF WATER method yesterday!
I leave mine in 1/3 water too and I have 2 blooms coming in! When it’s not blooming though I do a cycle of water 5 days, dry on 6th day, fertilize on 7th day, and then repeat! It’s been working really well. I also wash the container once a week when the orchids are in bloom and just soaking.
6:58 that's a phalaenopsis, not a vanilla.
My brain:mmm vanilla caviar
quite literally :P
Coffee farm owner from Guatemala here! Great job and very interesting! Vanilla is native to Guatemala
OMG. Are you the owner of the one Terry went to? I am making a coffee video about your farm this week!!
No. Not the one on the video.
It's crazy how complicated it is to grow vanilla😮
I am so obsessed with your videos i even tried growing cotton candy grape seeds😊
7:40 everything is a chemical, including water and the air we breathe.
agreed
@@growithjessie You're not smart.
This is awesome! Keep it up! 👍
thanks so much
@@growithjessie no need to thank me! ^^
Did you get this from a supermarket? If it’s made for consumption I’m pretty sure they are cooked first so unlikely to work.
I've heard of cooked/roasted ones growing before :D
Here's hoping, would be great if they did!@@growithjessie
Not gonna lie you got me into growing plants and right now I’m growing watermelons pumpkins peppers ect but I might try this
Cool video, was just frustrating to see all the phalaenopsis 'moth' orchids get shown as vanilla orchids, which look cpmpletely different 😂
thanks so much
Love this
thank you so much
@@growithjessie of course. I really hope it works out. I will say that if you had spread the seeds out flat and more sparse it would make it less likely to mold. But just keep being awesome 😎
I have seen for myself that orchids can be quite expensive, you could sell plants that you grow, and gardeners would love them!
that is totally true. should i start lol
Auto clay-ve auto clave
Van-ill-in vanillin
The wax on produce is usually beeswax mixed with carnauba
How would these grow in the wild?. I am not familiar with people producing agar in the wild in sterile conditions
Jessie, the crazy plant lady who will grow anything she gets her hands on.
have you seen my new 3d printer endeavours trying to melt plastic waste into filament?!?!!
I recently found a fruit I want to grow, Medlar. You pick them in the winter, once the leaves have fallen off the tree. Next you store them for a few weeks till they are nice and soft and ready for eating. ❤
omg. what does it taste like???? where do i find it??? lol!
@@growithjessie I'm not sure where to buy the fruit from. It's supposed to taste somewhat like a date or spiced applesauce. I'm hoping to order some trees online in the spring, but not sure where from. I've seen some on Etsy that I'm considering.
Please you must know the white orchid you were showing is a white phalaenopsis orchid it’s not the same type of orchid which produces vanilla which is called well “vanilla” it looks much different has different care so please do more research on orchid species since the one you are micro propagating needs much different care than the ones in your homes and flower shops
I love your videos
awwww thank you so much. that means a lot to me
sooo......all the orchids shown in this video are phalaenopsis orchids which are NOT the orchid species that Vanilla comes from. Vanilla comes from the pods of a vanilla planifolia orchid. It is also not possible to grow vanilla planifolia from vanilla bean pods, since the process of making vanilla pods involves fermentation, thus killing all the seeds. If you wanted to grow your own vanilla, you would need to purchase a vanilla planifolia orchid, get it to bloom, pollinate the flower, and then wait for the seed pod to grow and age long enough to where the seeds would be viable. Some simple google searches would have helped a lot for this video, since majority of this information is incorrect.
Thank goodness! So much misinformation in that video.
Not to mention she said the orchid flowers fall off in the winter and grown back in the summer while showing a phalaenopsis orchid when it's the complete opposite. I'm just so curious where the creator got so much misinformation from.
not all of the orchids! just the very green photo of the seed pods growing. the other orchid with me in the photos is definitely a vanilla orchid from one of Floridas conversatories!
I really appreciate you coming to watch! here on this channel, it's all trial and error. LMK if you have any tips to make the videos even better
I didn't have photos that I could use, so I used a couple of images of the closest thing I could find to give everyone a smaller idea of what the pods look like when they grow. the photos of me with the tree are vanilla orchids, though!
Have any of them worked? Cause I believe the vanilla beans need to be green for the seeds to work. Cause you used a cured bean (that was boiled and sundried before you bought it).
With this growth media that you have you should also try growing some other cool plants from seed too!
OMG. that is a good idea. Which one???
Vanilla is notoriously difficult to flower indoors, it needs heat, light and moist and the plant needs to be a certain age and size before it even thinks about flowers. You need to pollinate by hand and it has to be done at night (flowers are spend within a day or two) The seedpods from the supermarket are treated so the seeds are dead (and the flowers you showed were Phaleanopsis) 😁 Sorry for being an A'hole
you're not being mean dont worry I actually appreciate your honestly and these tips!
@@growithjessie 😁
Watch some of the orchid videos out there where they use home made glove boxes and lots of bleach and some hydrogen peroxide to sterilize the seeds. I am gathering up parts to make an attempt at vanilla out in Hawaii. I have been interested in trying normal orchids for a while. Look forward to seeing how your attempt goes.
U should’ve tried flipping one agar dish upside down to see if humidity affected it and prompted more growth
omg that is genius. i think i need other nutrients too with it also
Girlie if u want to germinate it in paper towel u need cinamon to prevent mold
Yooo, watched this video so curiously! So epic...
I hope you ready this commennt
I love your content, i think you transmit unic Joy and a Knowledge.
It's just that preckly pear cacti, like quite all North American and Mountain cacti, can survive nights until 0 °C, they love sun and grow lights are NOT enough. I'm actually from Italy and I think Canadian cold Is really heavy. But these plants can perfectly stay covered with 2 layers of non-woven fabric on your balcony.
Aloe vera is an african desert plant, it can until 2 °C with dry soil. They accept being kept in your home under grow lights, if the soil Is dry. In spring and Summer you can put them outside in a draining soil, with extra holes (∅5 millimeters) for better drainage. They just need the rains and the direct sunlight for a few hours.
I hope I helped you. 😊
awwww thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video this week! I truly appreciate your kind words, it means so much to me. Welcome from Italy, to a glimpse of Canada growing :D. thanks for your comment, and update me on your aloe vera if you have one? you definitely did help me though.
@@growithjessie
No way you have read my comment!
I have some Aloes in my garage, there is no sunlight but it's also hotter and temperatures never go down 0 °Celsius, so the plants "sleep" in winter. They are currently doing well, Just a bit etiolated. The one that was outside started suffering at -2.5 °C, She is still alive, in the garage now. In 2 or 3 years they could Bloom, i hope!
Good luck with your cute plants, I'll follow you adventures
I love your enthusiasm but you've got bacterial contamination in both petri dishes as well as the mould in the other.
Just so you know, thats what the blotchy areas are in both.
thanks so much
@@growithjessie yes, if you look on your short about this there is a list of stuff you'll need 🫂. It won't let me add links but if you Google seed sterilisation for media transfer and it'll show you how to bleach clean the seeds.
Look up home sterilising agar solution with a pressure cooker. And look up still air box and sterile practice.
It'll sound more complicated than it is but if lil ole me can do it then so can anyone once you learn what's needed. Also you'll need a nutrient agar medium, there's recipes online or you can actually buy orchid growing medium, looks like powdered charcoal. I might still have vids on some of this on my channel, but I'm not sure what's actually still there. Been years, maybe even more than a decade now 😅🙈.
@@growithjessie but you will need to start again from scratch. You cannot uncontaminate those plates I'm afraid.
If you have to get the grocery store fruits, you can get that coating/sealant wax off but it takes some time/effort..def not the same as the real thing..i wonder if there are any studies to show if that stuff affects humans over time (im sure it does and im sure they'd try to bury all the data if so😢)
I love growing fruits and vegetables but the’re dieing at a certain moment and I doint know what i’m doing wrong😫😓 do you have any tips that could help?💕
Have you tried plant food? Also it's hard to give advice without knowing what kind of plants you are growing :)
@@mimsydreamsheyy I grow diffrent plants. Carrot, cucumber, corn etc. ☺️
Need update!!
posted!!
Coming from Snapchat, I didn’t know the video came out an hour ago 😳😳
thanks for coming omg. that made my whole day!! anything you want to see on Snap??
I try this lol
did you try?
Ye
You are using a vanilla pod that have been dried and cooked
Everything is a chemical. Something being a chemical doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy/dangerous.
Yep, you probably grew fungi and bacteria.
it's all trial and ERROR!
im so confused
I see little green dot on there in the agar at the end, I think your going to get new baby orchids
STOP I SAW THE GREEN DOT TOO BUT I WAS NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS
@@growithjessie well then I’m proud to announce those are the little baby orchids sprouting 🪴🪴👍👍
I saw a long green thing too and I think that is the new leaf coming out
That looks like a colony of mold or bacteria
@@FakhriaNoori no I’ve seen what mood looks like, it can’t be, in the beginning of the video some of the seeds were separated in the agar and you are meant to put them inside the agar
Orchid seeds are so small you have to look at them under a microscope, and orchid seeds need a specific fungi to grow on trees/bark
That's true. There is also a way to germinate and grow them under sterile conditions called "asymbiotic germination". So the video isn't entirely off in that aspect
any advice on other tissue culture to purchase to try???
absolutely. this is more of what i tried
@@growithjessie The issue was surely not the media rather your take on working sterile. There are some helpful videos here on YT
Did you end your having success?
Air and water are chemicals too. Please don't fall into the chemical bashing, because chemicals aren't necessarily bad things.
agreed.
Appreciate the sterile environment but that was thrown out the window when you rubbed the seeds between your fingers 🫠
DARN. i know. it's honestly very difficult lol. BUT i have more medium and more petri plates so with any tips i can easily do it again very fast
Are you from a screamo band 😂
hahahahahahaha
Omg 1e
thanks for stopping by!
Do you have a degree in horticulture?
I have two degrees in communications :P
Love you and your video concepts, bed music is entirely too loud! I Wanna hear you
Thanks so much for letting me know, I will turn it down for sure
