This listing is for a robust, organically grown 22” top cutting of Vanilla pompona - a beautiful and less common variety of this unique, vining orchid. The cutting will have an active growing tip and several well developed aerial roots which should convert to ground roots once planted. The first two photos are of the actual plant I will make buying the cutting from. This is a “field grown” orchid
currently growing up the side of a coconut palm.
When mature the vine produces beautiful, golden flowers which open successively. Each lasts for one day and can be hand pollinated in the morning to eventually produce vanilla bean “pods.”
The stem, leaves, and actual beans of pompona are larger and thicker than planifolia, the commercial vanilla more commonly sold, and it is a vigorous grower. Loves to eventually climb and grows best in heat and humidity like we have here in Florida. Makes a beautiful tropical statement growing up palms!
PLEASE NOTE: I do not offer refunds or exchanges on live plants shipped - mainly because I have no control over delays on the part of the shipping carrier. But I am here to try and assist with any questions you may have! This item ships to the US only. Thank you.
