Finally got my vanillas.

1.V. polylepis
-length of vine= 56cm
-with of vine= 1.5 cm
-leaf length= 13cm
-ariel root= 20 cm

2.V. roscheri
-length of vine= 70cm
-with of vine= 1cm
-leaf length= none
-ariel root= 2cm

3.V. Pompona
-length of vine= 47cm

They are all potted in normal potting soil used for any house plants.

How long will they have to be to bloom?

They need to be bigger/longer. the rule for planifolia is 3 years/3 meters, but that's an ideal vision.

The potting media can do for now but be careful if temperatures go under 16°C, if so, keep the pots DRY!

I'd repot them next spring.

Note that roscherii lives in sand, so the mix should drain a lot. And it may be the priority. Pompona and polylepis should be ok for now. Keep rosherii on the dry side and don't overwater, if you see it rot, cut/repot on the spot, you can restart new roots in sphag but don't keep any Vanilla in this beyond the root start.

Well here are the photos! Due to getting the vanillas yesterday i put in heating today. It has a time and goes on every hour for 15 minutes. Felt the heat in the evening, very cosy and warm, about 20-30 °C. They look very good on the stumps i trained the stems on.

You suggested to repot them next spring. Would it be this years spring (September) or next year. And can I repot the pompona and polylepis in my medium i use for my planifolia (bark, potting soil and peat) and should the roscheri be planted in pure sand or maybe sand and bark?

Thanks in advance

Next spring of course. The mix is not one safe for Vanilla in the long term. I insist on watching out if temperatures goes down and the mix is wet.

I've made a mixup… The one needing a sandy mix is pierrieri So treat roscherii like the others. Mine is recovering in my rooting factory*, as most vanilla when they come in, as german nurseries mix kill roots as soon as they come in my house.

Yours look nice

*a plastic bottle cut in 2, some LECA at the bottom, some -NZ- sphag on top and the vanilla to recover. Great to start cuttings, or recover a plant with dead roots.
