Environment: purple vanilla likes bright environment, avoid direct sunlight; temperature: cold resistance is poor, temperature difference between day and night should not be too large; soil: like loose and fertile sandy soil; flowerpot: it is not suitable to choose too deep flowerpot, shallow flowerpot has good water permeability; watering: often maintain the wettability of potted soil, watering more during the growing season, and reduce watering after autumn. Fertilization: it is necessary to apply fertilizer 1-2 times a month in the peak growing season, mainly farm manure.

1. Environment

Purple vanilla likes to grow in a bright environment, requiring medium and high intensity of light. But do not like the environment of direct sunlight, can be planted indoors or outdoors, if you encounter the direct sun, it will cause purple vanilla leaf burns. Although purple vanilla likes shade, it is not suitable to be planted in a dark environment all the time, especially during the period of new leaf sprouting and new leaf growth.

2. Temperature

The cold resistance of purple vanilla is very poor, it is suitable to grow in a suitable and stable environment, the temperature difference between day and night should not be too large, the temperature should not exceed 17 degrees during the day, and the temperature difference at night should be kept at about 12 degrees. We must pay attention to heat preservation in winter and cool down properly in summer.

3. Soil

Purple vanilla does not have high requirements for soil, but purple vanilla likes loose, fertile, moist acid sandy soil. When potted, rotten leaf soil, peat soil and garden soil can be mixed in the same amount, so that the soil has strong air permeability, permeability and drainage, and is not easy to accumulate water.

4. Flowerpot

When choosing flowerpots, you do not need to choose deep flowerpots, but try to choose shallow flowerpots, because shallow flowerpots permeate faster when watering, which is conducive to water penetration.

5. Watering

Purple vanilla likes moist soil very much, so it is necessary to keep the wettability of basin soil often, especially in the growing season, especially to strengthen the frequency of glue, which can be irrigated or regularly sprinkled on the leaves to increase humidity. The frequency and amount of watering can be reduced as much as possible after the end of autumn.

6. Fertilization

Purple vanilla in the growing season, need to be fertilized 1-2 times a month, mainly farm fertilizer, commonly used is to soak water with granular chicken manure, and then irrigate into the basin, in order to ensure that the leaves are beautiful and bright.

7. Methods of reproduction

Purple vanilla is mainly sown and propagated, and the sowing time can be carried out all the year round. If sown in January, it can blossom in May, and the growth period is usually about 100-150 days. About 30 days after sowing, when the true leaves grow to 6-7 pieces, you can arrange planting. When planting, you should pay attention to the distance between plants, which is about 15 cm. When the leaves grow to more than 10, the lateral branches of the terminal bud can be removed.
