Care Notes: Flowering and fruiting are rare in homegrown vanilla plants. If you are lucky enough to get a flower it must be pollinated manually, during the morning, if fruit is desired. The plants are self-fertile, and pollination simply requires a transfer of the pollen from the anther to the stigma. If not pollinated, the flower will be dropped the next day.
Shipping Notes: As a good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants may vary in color, size, and appearance.

Received on time, packed well, I'm excellent condition. Doing great in my vavarium. Thank you all at Josh's Frogs.
I received 2 vanilla orchid plants on July 31st. As of September 1st they each have grown almost 2 inches and are doing very well! I keep them on a rack over a large pan of water in a warm room (about 80 degrees) and I spray with water at least twice daily. I'm going to transplant them soon into larger orchid pots with sphagnum moss, as they came planted in. Josh's Frogs contacted me after they were delivered and they also answered my questions about caring for the orchids. I will totally continue to order from them!

As usual you never fail to deliver. My orchids are beautiful. They arrived almost as soon as I hit send. I will definitely order again
This plant is elegant, easy to grow indoors and is forgiving if you forget to water. Likes bright light and sends out shoots rather fast.
