If that occurs, you should be prepared to use a pair of sterile pruning shears to cut out any roots that show signs of rot. When this plant experiences overwatering, it will become mushy and develop root rot. While these plants need water frequently during active growth, they also need to live in a growing medium that drains water rapidly. Rainwater and distilled water are the best kinds of water to use for this plant, and it is best if the water you use matches the temperature of the air as closely as possible.Īllowing your Flat-leaved vanilla to sit in soil that remains too moist for too long is one of the most common ways to kill this plant. Generally, pots that are a bit larger will need water less frequently, while smaller pots will have a slightly more frequent watering schedule. The amount of water you give will change based on the size of the pot you use. However, each watering should drain quickly through the growing medium to prevent any standing water. During the growing season, you’ll need to water this plant multiple times per week. You should grow your Flat-leaved vanilla in a pot and ensure that the potting mix you use has fantastic drainage. Flat-leaved vanilla receives too much water will look mushy and limp. You’ll know your Flat-leaved vanilla needs more water if its roots and leaves become thin and dry or show discoloration.
By contrast, in winter, and when the weather is cool or wet generally, you should stick to watering the soil directly rather than including overhead watering as well. If so, you should apply water to your plant’s soil and, if the weather is warm, perform occasional overhead watering to allow the plant to absorb moisture through its leaves. The manner in which you water the Flat-leaved vanilla will depend somewhat on whether or not your plant is in an active growth phase.
