Hello and welcome?!

I think the Dracula should fair nice in your cooler environment, but be warned that they tend to like high humidity levels for the most part (generalization of 80 to 90%RH) in addition the coolness. Also, be sure to keep it out of light. Just like Dracula, these plants will exhibit leaf burn if exposed to too much light, lol...

Thank you!
I was considering building an enclosed cabinet of sorts with plexiglass. That would help with the humidity. Believe it or not, in the valley here in Oregon the humidity is relatively low!
I haven't quite sketched out the whole environment, but I do know I want to have a small fan to help circulate air inside the growing area. If this works out, I want to build a small shade house to put them in outdoors.
We'll see how it shakes out.
