Default Question about vanilla!

Hello!

30 feet in one season !!! Wow!

I guess I`m in trouble ! :-)
I`ll see what I can do for this one! Now, my problem is which container am I
gonna use for it!
I grow mostly Phal in S/H culture ( LECA ).So, should I use LECA or dirt?
So Ì can take every piece of advice you can give me!

Thanks

Claude

| Well, that sounds like good light for now, but what are you going to do
with

| feet not inches -- about 10 metres if you're on metric] in one season; of
| course, the first major cold snap "solved" that problem for me :(

| Hoya Bella, in front of my South window!

| | It doesn't really need medium -- just something to climb. If you are
in
| a
| | tropical climate, just tie it to the base of a tree. Otherwise, make
a
| | good-size trellis [largest that you can move in to protect for
winter],
| and
| | try to train it to grow around rather than straight up -- planifolia
| grows
| | FAST once it gets started!
| |
| | V. pompona is slower growing, but more cold-tolerant -- ours [growing
up
| a
| | pine tree] was set back, but not killed, by a couple of near-freezes
| last
| | winter. V. planifolia will not tolerate that much cold.
