Vanilla plants Environmental regulation, coordinated management of temperature and light Most vanilla plants are native to temperate areas, and the ideal growth temperature should be maintained in the range of 15-22℃. When it exceeds 30 ° C in summer, it needs to be used with a sunshade net, and sprayed in the morning and evening to cool down.

Breeding skills of vanilla plants. Sowing and seedling breeding points select a seedling substrate with a ratio of 3:7. The seeds can be soaked in warm water for 6 hours during pretreatment. The sowing depth is twice the seed diameter, and a temperature difference environment of 20-25℃ per day/15℃ at night is maintained. Gradually increase the light intensity after emergence, and apply 50% concentration nutrient solution after the true leaves are unfolded. The pruning and shaping strategy adopts the "picking and promoting branching" pruning method. When the seedlings grow to 15cm, 4-6 true leaves are retained for topping. Regularly remove the yellow leaves at the bottom to improve ventilation. When harvesting, follow the principle of "picking three and leaving one", and retain at least 1/3 of healthy branches and leaves at each picking. Vanilla plant disease protection
