Dracula Poe (Raven x marsupialis) 3in net

A dark creepy cultivar of Dracula (monkey-faced orchid) native to mountainous South America. Draculas can be challenging for indoor growing and are recommended for intermediate-advanced cultivators. Greater than 60% humidity and cooler conditions make it a tricky genus. Hybrids tend to be more stable and slightly easier, so this would be a good one to start with if just starting. Above 70F and you may see leaf drop or wilt. Keep air circulation good for high humidity. Very cool cultivar though! 

Blooming size. Plant pictured is an example showing off the blooms and potential. This was a division from a large older plant. Rooted. 

CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Long fiber sphagnum, fine bark, or mounted with moss. Net pot recommended. These can be sensitive to repotting so it's better to let them get big before dividing. 

Light: Low-medium light. Shade is your friend. These do well in terrariums.

Water: Keep evenly moist and do not allow to get fully dry. 

Temp: Cool-intermediate (50F min night, 80F absolute max day). Prefers cool. 

Humidity: 60-80%, requires high humidity.

Fertilizing: 1/2-1/4 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Stop all fertilizing in winter. General rule: begin in Spring, stop in late Fall.
