 Like all members of the genus ''Vanilla'', ''V. planifolia'' is a vine. It uses its fleshy roots to support itself as it grows.
-Flowers are greenish-yellow, with a diameter of 5&nbsp;cm (2 in). They last only a day, and must be [[pollinated]] manually, during the morning, if fruit is desired. The plants are [[self-fertilization|self-fertile]], and pollination simply requires a transfer of the pollen from the [[anther]] to the stigma. If pollination does not occur, the flower is dropped the next day. In the wild, there is less than 1% chance that the flowers will be pollinated, so in order to receive a steady flow of fruit, the flowers must be hand-pollinated when grown on farms. Hand pollinators can pollinate about 1,000 flowers per day.

-Fruit is produced only on mature plants, which are generally over 3 m (10 ft) long. The fruits are 15-23&nbsp;cm (6-9 in) long pods (often incorrectly called beans). They mature after about five months, at which point they are harvested and [[curing (food preservation)|cured]]. Curing ferments and dries the pods while minimizing the loss of [[essential oil]]s. [[Vanilla extract]] is obtained from this portion of the plant.
