- Vanilla planifolia is quite easy to grow at home, it will grow in most environments but it really prefers high humidity. Luckily we can achieve this as it is really only the root systems that needs this level of moisture.
In today's video, I make a simple Aeroponics system for growing vanilla vines. It is done using a bucket, some 3D printed parts (optional) and a simple misting kit from Amazon.
I will make the 3D printed parts available on our website in the coming days.
Most people think of vanilla as a magical plant.....and to a degree it really isn't You do have to lower your level of expectation though as getting vanilla beans from your home grown vanilla plants is another story. Vanilla beans grow on vines that are at least 2 years old, the flowers that produce the beans need to be hand pollinated with care as the sap as it contains calcium oxalate crystals, this will cause contact dermatitis.
They are a beautiful plant to grow and using aeroponics/hydroponics, they are much less likely to be subjected to disease from soil.

Wow🤩 Im impressed! Knowledge and creativity🙌 That is so cool.
Yeah it’s pretty unique isn’t it! And thank you ☺️
What plant did you say you got that vanilla extract from? It’s so pretty!
Nice. How are they growing? A follow up video would be awesome.
I definitely need to do a follow up, they are growing well. Doubled in size in my basement under artificial light.
I'm guessing you are also adding nutrient solution to this and your other builds? Would be cool to know what and how much you're using. Great vids, thanks!
Yep I am, I’ll do a video on nutrients as there’s a lot of really bad info regarding this subject floating around UA-cam.
Do you mind adding all of the 3D printed parts link and list of Amazon links to all of the parts you used?
Yeah no worries I’ll try and get it done this week.
You took somthing simple and made it dumb complicated
Thank you. Enjoy your day.
