Variegated Vanilla Bean Orchid - Vanilla planifolia variegata

This orchid has beautifully-variegated leaves and is the most widely-grown source for vanilla beans. It grows as a large vine and is much easier to grow than most orchids. You can have it climb a tree or twine it around a hanging basket. Since this vanilla bean orchid is tropical, it only does well in non-freezing areas, but it also makes an excellent houseplant.• Average mature height: 30 to 40-foot vine• Light: Full shade• Soil: Well-drained. Do not let dry out between waterings.• Zone: 10-11
