      Where do you grow it? I grow vanilla in Yacolt Washington and it’s growing well but not flowering yet. It’s dry here so I buy giant 5 gallon ziplock bags and they keep the humidity high where the plants love it.

    awesome man you've become. I'm from the Philippines and I've ventured vanilla farming for two years now. Hopefully next year my vines will show the fruits of my labor😁. I'm amused of those crazy ideas especially the mushhroom😅 I've been into it too. Vanilla farming was just introduced to me by a foreigner friend here. It was just a foreign idea and maybe it's a destiny for me because I was once being fascinated with melliponics several years ago. At last I can make use of my stingless bees soon. Hopefully they will do the pollination for free someday😅.

      Ohia trees are delicate, they don't really like orchids growing on them. But hapu'u ferns are happy to support other species, thats why they are called the mother of the forest. They make a great trellis for vanilla.
