About the cultivation of vanilla, etc. How to grow vanilla

Planting vanilla requires the use of sandy loam soil with rich nutrient content and good drainage, and also needs to choose seeds with full grains and healthy growth when planting, and at the same time need to germinate the seeds, and wait for the seeds to show signs of germination before planting them in the soil, so that the plants can grow normally.

1. Select the soil

Growing herbs requires choosing the right soil. Generally, vanilla is suitable for growing in sandy loam soil with rich trace element content and good drainage, so it is best to use sandy loam soil with rich organic matter content and good drainage when planting vanilla, and after planting, it is necessary to loosen the soil regularly for the plant to prevent soil agglomeration.

2. Treat the seeds

Proper treatment of the seeds is also required when planting vanilla. First of all, you need to select the seeds with full grains and have not suffered from pests and diseases, and then grow the seeds in a water basin, and at the same time pour an appropriate amount of water into the water basin to make the water surface just submerge the surface of the seeds, and wait for a day to remove them and sow them.

3. Sowing and planting

When sowing vanilla, seeds showing signs of germination can be sown directly on the surface of the soil, and then the seeds can be masked with an appropriate amount of fine soil. And after planting, in order to allow the plant to germinate and grow as soon as possible, it is necessary to water the soil with an appropriate amount of water to soak all the soil and provide a more humid growth environment for the plant.

4. Later maintenance

In the later maintenance of vanilla, it is necessary to provide suitable light for the plants, so that the plants can carry out photosynthesis normally, and at the same time, when the light is too strong, it is necessary to provide proper shade for the plants, so as not to burn the plants due to too strong light. And when maintaining the plant, it is also necessary to provide appropriate nutrients for the plant, improve the growth rate of the plant, and let the plant grow better.

1. Temperature: The distribution latitude of vanilla plants is generally relatively high, so the temperature should not be too high. Therefore, it is better to have a slightly cooler temperature, which can be around 15 to 20 degrees.

In summer, it must not be too hot, and when it is generally higher than 30 degrees, you need to ventilate more and avoid strong light.

2. Light: Vanilla plants generally have certain requirements for sunlight, so they need to receive a certain amount of light every day. If you want to place it indoors, you can choose the place where the astigmatism is best and not too dark.

3. Watering: Most of the vanilla plants are more afraid of waterlogging, so when replenishing water, you can wait for the soil to dry up, and you can't accumulate water, otherwise the roots may suffocate to death. If the leaves are thicker, it is more advantageous to dry them.

4. Fertilization: When they grow faster, you can use some organic fertilizer in moderation, but the amount is not too much. Specifically, it can be combined with watering.

1. Reproduction: Most of the vanilla species can be propagated by sowing method. If you want to keep it at home, you need to buy seeds, then prepare pots and substrates for sowing.

When choosing seeds, try to choose fuller, so that it has a greater chance of germination. The substrate can be sandy soil. Depending on the variety, the appropriate container can be used.

After sowing, keep the temperature at about 20 degrees.

2. Pruning: For most vanilla plants, usual pruning is more important. However, you can't cut too much at a time, otherwise it may cause the new shoots to not grow and not recover. Usually those dry leaves, etc., also need to be cut off in time.

1. Diseases: Relatively speaking, there are not too many diseases, and generally speaking, they can only be prevented. You can use some anti-disease drugs on a regular basis to effectively prevent it.

2. Pests: Because the vanilla plant itself has a relatively large and special smell, there are relatively few pests. However, there are also certain specific varieties that will be attacked by pests, so you can use anti-lead insect nets to isolate them, and try not to use pesticides.

1. Toxicity: Most vanilla plants are non-toxic.

2. Whether it can be raised at home: Yes, but some farmers may not like their special taste.

1. As we all know, vanilla is usually sensitive to the sultry and humid environment in summer. Especially in the harsh environment of high temperature and humidity, it is easy to sunburn and die. If you start planting herbs in winter, you will have to go through winter and spring, and the roots and plants will have a certain dormancy time, so they will have a relatively strong resistance, and compared with the summer period, the resistance is still better, so the vitality should be longer.

2. Therefore, the humid and hot environment in South China in summer is not conducive to the growth of vanilla. For the Sanbei region, the growth rate of vanilla is much slower, and the root system is slowly stretching during this time, as long as the temperature warms up in spring and the sun comes out, the vanilla will continue to grow upward. Parallel mode.

3. Although the growth rate of herbs raised in winter in Central and East China is not fast, the aroma will be more concentrated, and the taste of vanilla in winter is stronger than that of other seasons, and the plants look compact. Winter management requires less watering, fertilization, pruning, etc., and it is easier to take care of, which can save a lot of time. In addition, the temperature in winter is relatively low, which is not conducive to the reproduction and growth of pathogens, so there are relatively few pests and diseases.
