Dracula gigas f. xanthina
The yellow form of one of the largest-flowered species in the genus, native to the cloud forests of Ecuador. It produces pendant flowers on drooping inflorescences, with broad triangular sepals tapering into long tails and a prominent fungus-mimicking lip — all in a distinctive, unpigmented xanthic coloration.
- Light: Low to medium indirect light with 70–80% shade cloth; avoid any direct sun exposure.
- Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C); a cool grower requiring stable cool temperatures and strong air movement.
- Humidity: 80–90%; high humidity is essential at all times.
- Watering: Water frequently to maintain even moisture in the medium; never allow the roots to dry out.
Additional Notes
Grow in a well-draining, moisture-retentive medium such as fine bark or sphagnum moss. Shipped bare root and well established.
