Yes, but check if the soil is too compact. Add coconut coir or other aerating materials to loosen it. You can also use peat soil to improve soil permeability, enhance drainage, and support the growth of aerial roots.

Once the seedlings grow over 30 cm, you can repot them using potting soil or peat soil purchased from gardening stores.

Typically every 3–5 days, but adjust based on the growing environment and pot size. Keep the soil slightly moist.

Vanilla seedlings bloom after three years. Ensure adequate light in the growing environment, as insufficient light can hinder blooming. After pollination, the flowers develop into vanilla beans, which can be harvested once matured.

Let the plants acclimate to their environment first; watering is sufficient. Over-fertilizing during the seedling stage can cause fertilizer burns, stunted growth, or plant death. Fertilize only after the plant grows to about 1 meter.

Use balanced fertilizer (N:P:K = 20:20:20). For seedlings under 1 meter, dilute 3000 times; for plants over 1 meter during the growth phase, dilute 1000–1500 times. Fertilize every 15 days.

You can buy any orchid-specific fertilizer from flower shops!

Yes, it is recommended to select seedlings that have grown for over a year for cutting, as they are stronger. Cuttings from plants under a year old will produce thinner new shoots.

It is recommended to use durable and sturdy materials such as cement columns, plastic pipes, or thick bamboo poles with crossbars. Vanilla requires at least three years of cultivation, and its vines are heavy, so these supports are necessary.

Once vanilla vines reach the desired height, let the branches grow downward. When they touch the soil, bury two nodes in the soil; they will continue to grow upward afterward.

In the first year, vanilla grows about 2 meters, 4 meters in the second year, and 8 meters in the third year. Afterward, it maintains a growth length of 8 meters.

The simplest method is to sun-dry them for 4–5 hours daily under direct sunlight.
