Dracula marsupialis
A species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing pendant flowers with broad, rounded sepals and a distinctive pouch-like lip that closely resembles a small marsupial pouch — a remarkable adaptation for fungus-gnat pollination. The inflorescences emerge from the base of the plant and droop downward.
- Light: Low to medium indirect light with 70–80% shade cloth; avoid direct sun at all times.
- Temperature: 50–65°F (10–18°C); a cool grower that requires stable cool temperatures and consistent air movement.
- Humidity: 80–90%; high humidity is essential for healthy growth and flowering.
- Watering: Water frequently to keep the medium evenly moist; never allow the roots to dry out completely.
Additional Notes
Grow in a well-draining, moisture-retentive medium such as fine bark or sphagnum moss. Shipped bare root and well established.
