Culture of Dracula orchids.
Orchids in the Dracula genus are mostly cool to cold growing, meaning their preferred temperature range is within 10-25ºC on average. While they can withstand warmer temperatures around 30ºC, it is not good for them for long periods. Humidity levels should be a minimum 60%. These are low light orchids and should never be exposed to direct sun. Their roots should never dry out, the potting mix needs to stay moist at all times. They are also sensitive to salt content in the water, thus fertilizing should be done at diluted concentrations (25% recommended dose). Never water them with hard tap water. RO water or rain water are ideal. You can use tap water as long as mineral content in it is low.
Most of Dracula species send out flower spikes from below the substrate level, and thus they are best grown in net or wire basket containers which are open to the sides.

Some of my plants have been grown outside during warm season, and as outdoor-grown plants the leaves may sport some nicks, scabs, and show some other minor damage. This is not a cause for complaint. It's normal wear and tear for plants. Overall the plants are in good condition with a healthy root system and actively growing.

When shipping, it is sometimes necessary to remove some of the leaves on larger plants to reduce transpiration and to make them fit into the package. Care will be taken to keep such removal of leaves to a minimum. This is not done to such an extent as to cause irreversible damage to a plant. New leaves will grow in and the plants will recover from such a practice.

Returns not accepted. If you have a problem with any of your plants upon arrival, please let me know and I'll try to help in any way I can.

Plants will be shipped bare-root. Will use a heat pack during winter months, November-March when necessitated by the weather. Order processing time 1-3 days. Transit will usually take a week or so.

NB! Shipping may be delayed during extreme cold spells (temperatures around -15ºC and lower) during the winter period. You will be informed ASAP if your order will experience any such delays.
Shipping cost is 14 eur for all Nordic countries.
