I wish I knew how to grow Draculas. But the south might be too warm still. Indoor culture might be a possibility.... just maybe...

Dracs like cool, like 70-80 absolute high in the day. The humidity must be above 70 or the buds will bust or shrivel up. They like lots of water. I have read a ton of conflicting information on these plants. What I have found is that they don't like being repotted, they want to be soaking wet, light should be around 900fc, Air movement (lots of it) and they need lots of humidity when they are in blooming phase (read: Spring, Summer, Fall).
You might try to grow in a terrarium type situation, but it is very important that you have drops in the night-time temps. My temps go from 80 in the day down to 50-60 at night. Also provide fans for air movement to keep mold, fungus and mildew at bay.
I run a large swamp cooler on a thermostat all day. I have a smaller cooler on a timer for the days when the outside temps are expected to be 90 and above. I also have a fogger and misting system. |
