I am moving to Egypt ( on the Red Sea Coast south of Cairo ) and am wondering if Vanilla will grow there? I can use either an outside area or a greenhouse ? Are there any associations or books available that can guide me in this venture? I also will be growing other Orchids as well as flowers of different varitations
Israel is attmepting this crop also, any news on there ventures??
Nathan, I would imagine that you could grow the Vanilla Bean Orchid where you are. I had it when I lived on the gulf coast of Florida and it grew wonderfully. Just never got it to bloom, I was told that it was not "tropical" enough and the conditions there were not "just right" for it to bloom. It was a wonderful plant to grow however. I wish you much success as it really is a beautiful plant.
