Vanilla Bean Orchid Live Plant (2-Pack) - Vanilla planifolia by Wellspring Gardens - Fragrant Vanilla Beans, Versatile Vine, Tropical Elegance, Aromatic Treasure - Vanilla Bean Starter Plant

My little beauty arrived healthy and perfect. Her soil was not dry and all leaves were intact. I gave her a few days to acclimate before re-potting. In less than one week she has grown over an inch and is gorgeous. I cannot say enough to express my satisfaction and happiness. She is not my first orchid, so I am comfortable taking care of her. Thank you.

Plant delivery was delayed by shipping company but plant was beautiful! I bought it as a Father's Day gift for my husband who loves plants. This little guy was actually not that little. The orchid vine is 7 inches long with 10 healthy leaves, much larger than I expected. I would recommend buying this again, great quality.

Very healthy and the moss was still moist even in 108°heat

So so pleased. My husband ordered these for me for Christmas, I had previously attempted to order vanilla orchids through a different amazon seller, and after much delay received a strange mystery plant from a sketchy source. THESE HOWEVER, are beautiful! they came so quickly, packaged beautifully, and thoughtfully with so much helpful information. The plants seem very healthy and were not dried out at all. I have no complaints. The plants even exhibited new healthy tendril growth. I had to put them out of my sight for a few minutes just to calm down from being so excited to receive them.The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that its description does say that they should be at least 3 inches long and fully rooted. The plants weren't quite three inches long, and one of them appeared to be a loose cutting. However, the loose cutting was showing signs of healthy growth, and upon doing some research it should develop roots and thrive so long as i keep it packed tightly in its sphagnum moss and moist. It's a couple of weeks later after receiving them, and they are still healthy and appear to be tracking light with their growth.So So Happy, excellent product.

I’m very disappointed with this purchase. I’m an experienced orchid grower and have successfully rehabilitated many near-dead orchids, but this is my first vanilla bean orchid. I followed all care instructions upon arrival—transplanted it immediately into a fresh orchid potting mix and placed it with my six other healthy orchids, each in their own pots.I maintain a consistent weekly care routine, watering and tending to all my orchids every Saturday. Despite this, the vanilla orchid has not thrived. Its leaves are dull and wrinkled, showing signs of stress and decline. I plan to sterilize and repot it again in hopes of saving it, but my experience with this plant has been disappointing from the start.Unfortunately, given the outcome and the plant’s condition, I won’t be purchasing expensive plants from Wellspring again.

very cute. came with with plenty of moisture and packed well. No pests. I ordered 3. one for the office, one for home, and one just incase they didn't survive shipping but they all showed up in pristine condition. Buy with confidence.

Update: I was offered a refund if I sent back item. Disappointing. I would rather have had "live plants" not starts. I upgraded the rating from one star to 3.OP: These are not "plants", they are starts. They have no roots. They are planted in sphagnum moss on top of regular potting soil (not the proper soil for epiphitic orchids). Regular potting soil is used for starts, to keep them humid.One starter plant arrived broken. I am very knowledgable about orchids and have them in a nursery hoping the starts begin to root and become plants. Today, I have observed snails! Thankfully I have these quarantined to the nursery and in their own cloche.I gave only one stars because the photo looks like plants, not starts. The photo is deceptive. I am also waiting for feedback from company. If they resolve the issue by resending plants, I will be satisfied.Be ready for the process of babysitting starter plants, not just repotting and stabilizing "live plant" (This wording is deceptive.) Always quarantine your plants. Mine came with snails. The company says, no returns. I have communicated with them. If they resolve the problem by sending new "live plants", I will give them three or four stars. If they clarify better these are "starts", not "live plants" as described, I would give them five stars. Starts are pretty healthy except for snails.
