Dracula inaequalis

A miniature species from the cloud forests of South America, producing pendant flowers on drooping inflorescences that emerge from the base of the plant. The three broad, fused sepals taper into long, slender tails of unequal length — a characteristic reflected in the species name — and the small, bucket-shaped lip is nestled within the sepaline cup.

• 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 constant air movement.
• Humidity: 80–90%; high humidity is critical at all times for healthy growth and flowering.
• Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist; never allow the roots to dry out between waterings.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork bark or in a basket to allow the pendant inflorescences to hang freely, with constant moisture and excellent air circulation. Shipped bare root and well established.
