Ok guys. I’m looking to buy as mature of a vanilla orchid as I can find. Does anyone know a good place to purchase them. My regular orchid go tos are not selling them at the moment.
Fantasy Orchids posted a photo of one a week or two ago (FaceBook 'Stories', so it isn't persistent), but I'm not sure if it was a resident or for sale. They might know where to find one if they don't have one for sale.
Most times all you can get is a 3' cutting at best.
That will leave you 5+ tears out from a bloom. Trust me. It's been 5 years and my plant is now maybe 12-15' long and still nothing in perfect growing conditions.
It takes FOREVER!
There were some 10-12 foot cuttings up on eBay when I checked, but they were running $200+. I want to say large vines established in pots run ~$1000 when I’ve seen them come up for sale in the past.
