Aurea Variegated Vanilla Orchid

Vanilla planifolia ‘Aurea’

TBT Title: Sunshine on a Vine

Description:

Bright, golden, and full of good vibes—this orchid is basically sunlight with leaves. The Aurea Variegated Vanilla Orchid brings a splash of yellow to your world with creamy-gold striped foliage and all the elegance of its classic vanilla cousins. She’s a rare beauty, easy to love, and endlessly rewarding as she vines, climbs, and glows.

Native Distribution:

Originally from Central & South America—but this variegated gem is a special cultivar with tropical star power.

Light & Water Needs:

• Bright, indirect light is her sweet spot
• Loves humidity and warmth (like all orchids do)
• Keep her lightly moist—water when the top of the soil just begins to dry out
• Grows beautifully on a totem, trellis, or as a hanging, trailing beauty

Fun Facts:

• Yes, she’s a vanilla-producing orchid! With enough time and love, she can bloom and produce those iconic vanilla pods (though you’ll need to hand-pollinate if grown indoors).
• The golden variegation is stable and doesn’t revert—sunshine is in her DNA!
• A slow grower, but incredibly rewarding—each new leaf is like unwrapping a golden gift.

Available:

4-node, 4-leaf cuttings – super easy to root, especially in a warm, humid space. These babies are ready to grow!

TBT Promise:

All our plants are grown outdoors in full tropical climate—which means they may have the occasional beauty mark from real-life weather (like a scar, tear, or tiny bruise). But they’re strong, healthy, 100% pest-free, and raised the natural way.

Natural, Not Lab-Made:

Every plant we sell is 100% naturally grown and not tissue cultured (unless otherwise noted). Sun-grown. Soil-rooted. Jungle-tough.
