| A Vanilla planifolia variegata's cutting with a root. It's ready for planting. |
Experts recommend to root the plant in a soil. We should make a mini hothouse and locate a green friend there. But this way isn't easy for amateurs. Unfortunately, we can make a mistake and a cutting will rot. However one of plant lovers told me about a simple method of a vanilla orchid rooting. It's rooting in vessel of water. In this case you need water, a glass and patience.

2. Locate it at a light place.
3. Add water to the glass from time to time.
4. Wait for a root.

That's all!
It's very easy, indeed.
When a root grows to 1,5-2 inches (4-5 centimeters) you may plant out the orchid. My consultant recommends to use coco coir.
P.S. I got my small vanilla orchid's cutting 3 months ago. (It is lovely Vanilla planifolia variegata with variegated leaves). The plant had no roots. I've kept my "phyto-pet" in a plastic glass of water. True, the top became black in the month before last.
I cut a bad part of stem. Lately my Vanilla planifolia variegata feels fine. The cutting has a good "white tail" and ready for planting.
Thanks for the advice Victoria
ReplyDeleteThank you :))))!!!
DeleteHow have the vanilla vines turned out now? did your vine successfully root after you got it to root in water, then into soil? sometimes moving to soil is harder than rooting in just coco coir directly I thought?
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for your question. My vanilla grew successfully in Summer. But in November it was very cool in my apartment (((( that's why I gave the plant one of florists )))
DeleteHi there, I wohld like to subscribe for this web site to get ewest updates, so where can i do it please help out.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! It's very pleasant for me. The subscribe form is to the right (in web-version of the blog).
DeleteFor how many days should I leave the cuttings in water please. I live in Mauritius and it's hot actually. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have had mine in water for 3 or 4 years now. I have a few. They all have great roots but nothing else changed. Except for 1! It just started getting new growth! I have vanilla bean orchid cutting for years and thus is the first time I have ever seen growth beyond roots. Even the roots take years though.
DeleteWhere can I find a vanilla bean orchid or cutting? I'm having a hard time finding one.
ReplyDeleteOn Amazon there is a wonderful grower 9greenbox
DeleteI ordered mine on ebay
ReplyDeleteDo not purchase from someone named Chris!
DeleteDoes the cutting have to sit out for a day to callus or can I put the cutting straight into a glass of water for propagation?
ReplyDeleteI have a vanilla orchid with no notes but the roots are healthy can I can I soak the roots in water to get more roots
