Dracula I like the article

Temperatures DraculaPosizione mezza ombra
Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to solar rays during the coolest hours of the day. These plants prefer very bright places, but we should avoid direct sunrays, especially during the hottest days of the year.Let's avoid exposing the The Dracula to temperatures below 15°C. During late Spring we can place them outdoors, possibly sheltered by the wind.

Care Dracula
Growing the stems and branches tend to develop downwards. Dracula Is an evergreen; during winter iIt assumes a orangegreenred colouring; the adult specimens are medium in size and reach 50 cm high. These plants are shrubs.

Feed Dracula
Let’s avoid fertilizing our orchids during flowering; during the spring let’s act every 20-25 days, using a specific fertilizer, avoiding to leave fertilizing solutions in direct contact with the roots for too long.

Irrigation DraculaTenere Umido
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 1-2 weeks can be enough using 1-2 glasses of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. Orchids in general favour a pretty moist soil; to water correctly it is advisable to water these plants by immersion, therefore soaking the containers in water up to the edge; when the water has reached the top part of the substratum we can take out the vases and let the excess water drain well.

Adversity Dracula
A treatment based on mineral oil or insecticide should be applied only in cases of infesting by parasites, paying attention not to vaporize the flowers.

Substrate Dracula
They need an averagely drained cultivation substratum.
