Hand pollination is required outside Mexico (where natural pollinators exist); pollinate flowers in the morning within 8-12 hours of opening.
Curing is critical: blanch pods at 65C, then sweat/dry for 3-6 months to develop characteristic vanilla flavor and aroma.
Train vines at accessible height (1.5-2 m) using loops or horizontal supports to ease hand-pollination and harvest labor.
