Dracula Ingrid Suarez

A striking hybrid of Drac. vampira and Drac. Raven, this orchid features dramatic, long-tailed flowers with a contrasting pale lip. Its expressive blooms make it a distinctive choice for a cool, shaded orchid collection.

• Light: Low to moderate, filtered light. Choose a shaded greenhouse position or a window protected from direct sun.
• Temperature: Cool-growing; days of 60–72°F (16–22°C) and nights of 50–58°F (10–14°C). Avoid prolonged heat and warm, stagnant conditions.
• Humidity: Maintain 75–90% humidity with gentle, continuous air circulation.
• Watering: Keep the roots consistently moist, never waterlogged or completely dry. Use rainwater or other low-mineral water and an airy, moisture-retentive orchid mix.

Additional Notes:

Elongated green leaves form a clumping plant, while dark burgundy flowers show fine pale markings around a yellow-green center. A mesh basket allows emerging flower spikes to develop freely; retain healthy green spikes, as they may produce further blooms.
