Vanilla Indonesia is best grown in a tropical area with proper temperature and humidity. It is also cultivated well in a greenhouse, although intense labor is required for its care. It prefers soil with rich minerals, acid, and good drainage as the keys to successful cultivation. It also needs fertilizer to keep it free from worms and oil cakes and requires additional support.

 

First, it is tempting to grow vanilla in a polybag, but a gardener with experience and accomplishment may challenge themselves with how to grow vanilla beans. As it is categorized as an orchid family, it may be difficult to care for. Commonly, tender care and a controlled environment are needed during its growth. Finally, harvesting time may pay off your long efforts and expense.

Regarding how vanilla beans grow, they generally require patience to see their vine grow naturally. This also requires a conditioned tropical environment, and in medium growth, a mixture of orchid compost is needed.

Additional support stakes are also provided to assist the vanilla in climbing. As it is difficult to care for, we as farmers offer the best vanilla beans at the lowest prices. Below are other characteristics of vanilla vines.

They are extremely sensitive to heat, the amount of light, and soil moisture. To obtain the best vanilla beans, these three systems must be well maintained. In addition, in the wet season, keeping the humidity and moisture consistent is a must.

To produce flowers, the vanilla vine gets a certain amount of water for 6 to 8 weeks. Beautiful flowers will bloom on the shoots and turn downward to the ground. This phase is often awesome. Labor helps the vanilla plant pollinate the flowers to form the green beans. Here we take the lip of the blooming flower, take the main pollen, and place it on the nectar with the stigma inside.

We do this gently since we need to locate a flop on the top and the right side behind the flower. The green beans will be kept on the vine for about six to nine months, producing vanillin, which later grows into the vanilla flavor. These are all steps done on how to grow vanilla beans as our best commodity.
