Vanilla Bean Vine does anyone know about it?

19 years ago

My motrher-in-law baught a Vanilla bean Vine at an Orchid show back in May. When we bought it, the salesman told us to just plant one end in soil and lean it up against a tree. It has not grown or done anything since we got it. Though there are little roots before the soil, but they were there when we bought it. I'm not sure what we are doing wrong, Or if anyone can help us.

I have pictures but i dont know how to send them.

Can anyone help me?

Vanilla orchid is not a rampant grower, so it may just be "resting." The salesman was correct in his advice. I once propped a cutting against a Golden Rain tree and it eventually took root on the trunk and bloomed. The flowers only last a day, as I recall. It's more a conversation piece than a spectacular bloomer. Patience!
