Dracula Cinnamon Angel - cultural advice

[CMW]

Hello all,

Yesterday a fellow orchid club member called me from a show. She said 'Hey the grower has some Draculas, do you want one?" and I heard "Yeah, I'd love one! Just get whichever one the grower recommends." come out of my mouth.

SO, now I have a Dracula Cinnamon Angel, which is a cross of D. Quasimodo and D. polyphemus. I understand that Draculas need high humidity and intermediate to cool temperatures. I have been kicking around the idea of making an orchid habitat (or two) out of old aquariums, and I guess now is the time!

Currently the only other Pleurothallid that I have is a Masdevallia imposter X floribunda that I grow next to the Phals with nothing above household humidity, and it's a constantly expanding mass of leaves and flowers.

Does anyone grow this Dracula, and if so can you offer any advice as to it's requirements? I live in central Illinois, USA. Thanks so much!

I can't help you but I will give you a bump. Congratulations on your other one doing so well. I hope to have your luck with mine.

Orchid Wiz to the rescue!

I recently acquired the parents. I have all but three of my draculas near my evaporative cooler, or under automatic misters, with a lot of air movement.

Three of my Draculas are in a warmer environment.
mopsus, inaequalis, vespertillo. Spelling might not be right.
