LIGHT: Medium to bright, indirect light; brighter light will bring out more variegation, however, be careful not to expose the plant to direct sunlight MEDIUM: Any well-draining and airy mix; we like using a mixture of peat, bark, and perlite. This plant will need a moss pole to climb for support. WATER: Allow to dry slightly between waterings FERTILIZER: Use a balanced fertilizer once a month during Spring and Summer HUMIDITY: Average home humidity of 40-60% PROPAGATION: Vanilla orchids are propagated through stem cuttings; take a cutting with at least 3-4 nodes and let the cut end callus for 24 hours. If rooting in water, make sure the bottom node is submerged and transfer to your chosen medium once the roots are at least 2 inches long. If rooting in soil or moss, insert the cutting with the node buried. Keep the medium moist. It will root fully in 3-4 weeks.
