Hello there!
Vanilla is a flavoring used in many different foods, desserts, and even perfumes. Many do not know that this important commodity is actually an orchid.

In this episode, I show you how to take cuttings of a Vanilla orchid and pot it up.

I also am testing; for myself; the theory of taking cuttings during a waning moon versus a waxing moon. It has always been clear that the moon has a major influence on the water on earth, which clearly means that since plants are composed mainly of water they are not exempt from this lunar influence. I have grown the cutting in a waxing moon but the one in this video is a 'lunar' cutting. Let's see how much of an influence it possesses for Vanilla planifolia. The procedure remains unchanged it is only the timing on when you cut the plant to take the cutting.

Hope you enjoy this video, and if you have some advice or some comments please feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
Keep Gardening.
Until next time.
