Description
 

Dracula lotax x sib, 2" or 3" pots, Plant blooms in the spring with a single 8 cm wide flower, but we find they are blooming most any time of the year due to domestic growing. These being offered are full sized plants, and they are blooming size.

These are very slow bloomers, meaning they can be in spike for a few months before finally blooming. It takes them a while, but rewarding :-)

These are very sensitive to water and even rain water can cause browning tips. It's a very common issue.

DRACULA LOTAX SPIKES = A lotax spike will begin to look like a white root, same size, same area, until it's about 1/4"-1/2" long. At that point the spike will begin pointing upward and start turning a dark burgundy color with a whit tip. This spike will remain almost the size of a hair as it grows upward. When the spike tip gets close to the top of the foliage it will begin expanding at the tip. The tip will begin getting fat, triangular in shape and eventually open. The lotax spikes do take a while to grow and bloom, sometimes up to a month or longer. Have patience, it's worth seeing their little smiling face :-)

Monkey face orchid

The plants arrived very quickly and packaged perfectly. The only suggestion I would make is research the plants purchased to make sure your home can accommodate the growing requirements. I live in the south and maintaining the temperatures required for this plant will be a challenge. I look forward to attempting to grow this plant. This does not reflect against the nursery. They are very helpful and certainly provided excellent plants.

Dracula Lorax orchid

My Dracula Lorax arrived safely with no damage. I was surprised by how small it was.  There was no information in the box on how to take care of this plant or how to repot it and do something a little bit bigger. But I am very excited to have it and I can’t wait for it to grow big enough to flower! I appreciate the quick service And the excellent packaging
