This is one of the Vanilla vines that give us the Vanilla Bean, and when it gets fifteen to twenty feet tall it may blossom. Well what do I do?

So I have it mounted on a structure that allows me to lay the vine out along some tree fern, and because it's hard to hold up the tree fern I just put it down in a pot of stone, washed stone from a brook and helps to hold the mount upright.
