How to Grow and Propagate Vanilla Orchids From Cuttings. Tips from a Commercial Orchid Grower
I bought some vanilla orchid plants about 7 years ago and has since turned it into hundreds of small Vanilla Orchids. Enough to sell them off and make a huge profit!!
This is the exact method I use to propagate my vanilla plants. I have experimented with multiple methods and this is the one I found that is most efficient. You can have new growth by only 2 to 3 months.

Kabayan, I am here in Calgary, Canada. Do you sell vanilla plant? Thanks for sharing information about this plant.
Such a great video! How long do the cuttings last after being cut from the mother plant and before being wrapped with moss? Also, what is the process of replacing the stick with wood? Will the roots that have grown onto the stick remain or do they get cut off? Thank you in advance!
very interesting

Hiii Thank you for your vedio, this is great thing you're doing. Could you please lead me where I can find vanilla peans for planting?
Do you use fertilizer and if so, what kind? And when do you start giving the vanilla orchid fertilizer? Do you give any fertilizer to the propagations after they’ve grown new leaves? Thank you.
I enjoyed your video, but have seen so many contradictory films, I am confused. Do you let the cuttings dry before using them? You say to keep the plants moist, but I have had at least ten die because I kept them moist. I have started using a detection device for water. Is this OK or not?
I just got my first vanilla plant. It’s roots have completely attached to a piece of wood, and that wood was nailed to the bottom of the pot. It’s time to pot up, because the roots have outgrown the size of stick and pot, but should I remove the epiphyte roots from the stick and start a new, longer stick? 9b central florida
I'm in central fl and would love to see your operation. If you are open to the public that is.

Do you keep them in a greenhouse?
This is excellent video. How long vanilla vine live? How much vanilla beans one vanilla plant produce per year? Do we need to keep soil always moist? How big pot we should select, if we think from commercial angle. Thank you so much for your excellent video.

vanillas will live for as long as they are taken care of. they put out flowers only after they've growth at least 10 feet. the longer/older the vine, the more flowers/beans. The flowers has to be hand-pollinated to produce a seedpod. The seedpod is the bean. If you plan to grow commercially, I recommend long rectangular containers, good drainage, with a trellis and several vanillas planted in it.

I had read that they originate from Mexico. There they have a wasp that knows how to pollinate. Everywhere else has to hand pollinate. Also heard they only flower 1 day each year and is best to pollinate as soon as they open. Say within 6hrs.
I live near Martin county. Do you sell vanilla orchids?
Do you sell your plants? I live in cal.
Is it possible to buy couple of cuttings from you ?
Does the stem of the cutting have to callus before potting? Do we wait a day for that? Or can we pot as soon as we cut it from the mother plant?

Thank you for the nice video my question is do you need to have bees to help pollinate the plants or could you take the male plant and pollinate the female plants directly by hand. We plan on growing in the Philippines we have a farm there and we think that that might be a very good idea
@orchidsisters7445

You will have to hand pollinate the flowers. The insect that are the natural pollinators of vanilla can only be found in Mexico and are endangered so there is not a lot of them left. 99% of the harvested vanilla in the world are hand pollinated. Good luck in your project. I hope to visit your farm someday when I go back to the philippines.

Hello. I really love your video and I am amazed by your love to plants and how well you grow them :) I had a long vanilla cutting. It did not give root and some parts turned brown so i cut off those parts, now there is 3 cuttings.. no matter what i do, they don’t give root. Before it was in a soil and tree bark mixture, i did not see improvement so I took it off. Later i tried to grow in water, some parts became brown and i cut them off. I had placed that cup into a big cup covered with stretch film so it makes humidity. The plant got moldy, i killed the mold with oxygene water and now i see no more signs of air canals growing, before i used to see small yellow air things. Two days ago, i collected some moss from trees and stones and place cuttings in them. I don’t want these poor things to die, so i wanted to ask your advice about what can be done to help them grow. I hope you can reply me. Thanks

Hello ! can you send me a plant too? how much does it cost me? 
I have a 6ft vanilla albida, it's giving off branches?? Or is it flowering? Cause my other vanilla albida plant doesn't grow branches that slow. My 6ft one grows so fast, up until this unknown growth showed up. I'm afraid if this is a flower since i don't know how to hand pollinate. They get 3 hours afternoon sun. Perlite, potting soil, and epiphytic orchid mix is what i use for their soil.
