Dracula erythrochaete is a striking species recognised for its elongated floral segments and distinctive hair-like structures, giving the flowers a dramatic, textured appearance.
Blooms typically show strong veining with contrasting tones that range from warm brown to maroon, often accented by the characteristic bristled margins. As with many Dracula species, individual flowers can vary in intensity and presentation between flowering cycles.
This species is strictly cool-growing and requires consistently high humidity, constant air movement, and protection from elevated temperatures. Stable environmental conditions are essential for sustained growth and flowering.
Best suited to experienced growers with a solid understanding of cool-growing orchids and the specific requirements of the Dracula genus.
