2. Growth management: water the soil after it is slightly dry, and the soil should be kept moist. Too dry will affect the growth of roots.
3. Vanilla pod planting place, also known as Vanilla, is mainly produced in Central and South America, with less output, and is planted in some humid areas in Taiwan Province, China.

In addition, it is necessary to fertilize properly during its rapid growth and water properly after fertilization, which is more conducive to the root to absorb nutrients.
