Also, the vanilla vine does not take to being moved around very well. It is best suited to place in its' permanent location. Extorting blooms is a difficult task and as Tropicbreeze said, pollination is a challenge.
I kept a vanilla vine for a few years with no sign of blooms. I found it was also a slow grower under these conditons. I gave it to a neighbor that grows orchids. Perhaps she will be more successful than I was.
I would encourage you to experiment if you are interested and hope you will share your results.
