vanilla planifolia

[Mira-Claude]

My vanilla finally made a new growth, well more like a new vine really!
It's been going on for about three weeks and is 8cm long, a bit under 4''.
I guess it just took her a while to stabilize in her new environment and medium. One point for hydroton!
here goes:

Good, if it reaches about 30cm/month (or more), it's thriving!

It loves water when growing so watch out and get it a drink. Lot's of light with 20 to 30°C where you are should do it good now it's on the go.

it grows that fast?
nice!
for temperature we are currently sitting over 30 so it should be fine there.
for water I will make sure to check the S/H water level twice a day!
thank you!

Like a friend growing another one in Paris I use a normal plastic closed pot with water reserve, yes, it's that thirsty. The only trick is to keep water low when it stops growing by lack of heat/light.

The perfect temp is 25°C, I can't tell for 30°C and more…
