Dracula woolwardiae
This item is currently sold out — but we can let you know when it’s back!
Dracula woolwardiae is a seldom-offered species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, where it grows in cool, humid conditions. This plant produces pendant inflorescences and is best grown in baskets or net pots that allow the flower spikes to emerge freely below the plant. That being said, this plant just came out of a solid 4" pot and was transferred to a 6-inch basket, which is why the flower spikes are currently going upwards on top of the pot.
One of the most appealing features of this species is the texture of the flowers. The sepals are covered in fine hairs, giving the blooms a distinctly fuzzy appearance that is especially noticeable when viewed up close.
This species prefers consistently moist roots, excellent air movement, and cool to intermediate temperatures. A rewarding choice for Dracula enthusiasts and collectors looking to add a unique and uncommon species to their collection. This Dracula does seem fairly easy to grow, but good humidity and cooler conditions (50's to mid 70's) are very important.
