Dracula berthae

Dracula berthae is an enchanting cloud-forest orchid appreciated for its intricately formed flowers and elongated sepal tails. The blooms appear below the foliage with the dramatic, almost animated character that makes Dracula orchids so fascinating, giving collectors a distinctive species to enjoy at close range.

Care Guide

• Light: Provide low to medium, filtered light and protect the foliage from direct sun.
• Water: Keep the roots consistently moist throughout the year, preferably using clean, low-mineral water. Never allow the medium to dry completely.
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity with continuous, gentle air circulation to prevent stagnant conditions.
• Temperature: Grow in cool to intermediate conditions with cooler nights, avoiding prolonged heat.
• Growing medium: Use an open basket filled with a fine, moisture-retentive orchid mix so descending flower spikes can emerge through the sides and bottom.

With cool temperatures, soft light, humid moving air, and steady moisture, Dracula berthae can mature into a captivating specimen with wonderfully unusual flowers.
