VANILLA BEAN PLANT

Description

Vanilla bean plants were used to give flavours to the Totonac and Olmec people of Mexico and were believed to be their lucky charm. Today, it is an endangered species of plant because of the loss of habitat and overexploitation. It is used in various industries such as beauty and cosmetics, food and drinks, and healthcare. It can grow more than 40 feet in length because of its fleshy aerial roots; it can climb tall trees because they grow on the bark of trees, providing them support; a stick or pole is useful for its growth; and its long and thin pod-like fruits contain thousands of vanilla seeds. Watering them once a week is enough for them to come out of the soil, and if unsure, then check the soil 2 inches down. Though it takes several years to produce flowers and fruits, it will be worth the patience. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

• The vanilla bean plant can easily thrive in warm and humid environments. 
• A climbing vine with white, attractive flowers and a peaceful fragrance. 
• Produces vanilla beans that are used for flavouring. 
• Can grow either outside in the garden or inside your home in a pot, making it a low-maintenance plant. 
• It is a self-pollinating plant, meaning you can grow fruit with just one plant; adding another will benefit you more. 
• Well-drained and aerated soil with bark as an organic matter is ideal for the growth of this plant. 
• Covers industries like beauty and cosmetics, healthcare, and the food industry because of its antimicrobial properties, flavours, and aroma. 
• Indirect sunlight is best for them to grow; direct sunlight can burn the leaves.
