Dracula ripleyana

Dracula ripleyana is a distinctive species valued for its refined flower form and often striking contrast between background colour and veining.

Flowers typically display elongated segments with clear patterning and tones that range through warm browns, maroons, and olive hues depending on clone and growing conditions. Blooms are generally carried low on the plant, consistent with the growth habit of 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 reliable flowering.

Best suited to experienced growers with a solid understanding of cool-growing orchids and the specific requirements of the Dracula genus.
