Regular watering is essential, but the plant should not be waterlogged. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided the conditions are suitable.Oogst
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. After harvesting, the pods undergo a curing process which includes blanching, sweating, drying, and conditioning to develop their characteristic aroma and flavor. This process can take several months and requires a warm, humid environment.Bodem
Vanilla pompona prefers a well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of orchid bark, peat, and perlite can provide the ideal growing medium. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 20-20-20. Fertilize the plant every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce the frequency during the dormant period, if applicable.Verpotten
Repot Vanilla pompona every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot and refresh the growing medium. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.Voortplanting
