Vanilla Vine
Have been growing in a 30x30cm pot in 2 parts soil, 1 part orchid mix and 1 part cow manure. Its growing well except it started as 2 vines and one vine rotted at the base. Now it is a single vine but looking very healthy. I have a water catcher under it.

FERNTREE GULLY, VIC, Australia
I love vanilla. I got this off ebay a few months ago and had it in the green house but wasn't doing well. Now it is in a hanging basket on my front verada. It seems to be surving. Keeping my fingers crossed.

These have grown really quickly and are doing great. I spray every day with water to create humidity. Not sure how to get flowers so will need to do more research
