That is a stunning Drac! Usually they seem to have very dark colors, but this bucks the trend. How do you grow this one and where did you get it?

[Gena]

Thank you, guys!

Steve, this one is from Germany (O&M). I do have it in my bathroom. Actually, it is only place in my apartment with northfaced window. Another advantages of the bathroom are good air movement and great humidity. Otherwise it’s planted in pure sphagnum in a mesh pot. I do not allow it to dry out before next watering. Very sparing fertilizing occasionally.

My goodness, that is awesome! Bravo, Gena.
