Regular watering is essential, but the plant should not be waterlogged. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided the conditions are suitable.Cosecha
Vanilla pompona, like other vanilla species, requires careful attention during harvest. The pods should be harvested when they are fully mature but still green, typically around 9 to 10 months after flowering. The pods should be hand-picked to avoid damage.

This process can take several months and requires a warm, humid environment.Suelo
