Jay Vannini asked:
<< Does Vanilla planifolia commonly leave its soil root system? >>
I've grown it for ten years, and it's still well connected to its growing
medium. I've seen other much older, much larger specimens in other
greenhouses, still in the growing medium. But -- that's only three
observations. Perhaps someone else has observed otherwise.
BTW, I'm finding this discussion very interesting.
