Dracuvallia 'Chartreuse'

Dracuvallia 'Chartreuse' is a selected clone of an Australian-grown intergeneric hybrid between Dracula and Masdevallia. Its pale yellow-green flowers with a contrasting pink-red lip centre are genuinely unusual — a colour combination rarely seen in this alliance. If you've been wanting to explore the Dracula world but find the full species intimidating, a Dracuvallia is the logical first step. More approachable than a pure Dracula, with the same dramatic pendant flower character. This is a division of the selected clone.

What to expect

• Flowering: Single flowers on pendant spikes emerging from the base of the plant. Pale yellow-green with a vivid pink-red lip centre and long drooping tails — striking and unusual.
• Plant: Compact growth habit. Generally more forgiving than pure Dracula species, making it a good introduction to basket-grown cool-growing orchids.

Growing notes

• Potting — important: Flower spikes emerge from the base and hang downward. Must be grown in a basket, net pot, or open-sided container so spikes can emerge and hang freely. A closed pot will prevent flowering.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Avoid sustained heat.
• Light: Filtered shade. More shade in summer, brighter in winter.
• Water: Keep evenly moist at all times. High humidity is essential — do not allow to dry out.
• Humidity & air: Very high humidity with constant gentle air movement. Rainwater or RO water preferred.
