Dracula mopsus – Species Orchid

Dracula mopsus is a distinctive species recognised for its compact growth habit and finely detailed flowers, often displaying a restrained but characterful appearance.

Blooms typically show soft veining and subtle tonal variation, with colours ranging through muted browns, maroons, and olive shades depending on clone and growing conditions. Flowers are carried close to the plant, consistent with the genus.

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.
