Dracula ophioceps

Description

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.

Beautiful honey tones, the hairs completely cover the flower, giving it a pearlescent effect. The fungus-like lip is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. With very few exceptions, species in the genus Dracula produce pendant flower spikes, and we grow all the plants of this genus in hanging net pots.

Care: cool, moist, and shady. Minimum low temp of 46° F and a high of around 85°. Anything over 80°, keep the plant really wet.  We give our draculas lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.

The nice thing about this group is if you can grow one Drac you can pretty much grow them all. Like their cousins the Masdevallias, when these plants are happy they grow like weeds and are prolific flowerers.
