Dracula chiroptera var. xanthina is a rare and striking orchid known for its pale yellow to creamy triangular blooms, often accented with faint spotting and a delicate, translucent lip. Each flower hangs pendulously from slender stems, creating an ethereal and ghostly display reminiscent of bat wings in flight.

This cool-growing epiphyte thrives in consistently shaded, high-humidity conditions that mimic its cloud forest origins. It performs best in low to moderate indirect light and requires excellent air circulation to maintain bloom freshness. The plant should be grown mounted or in mesh baskets with a moisture-retentive medium like sphagnum moss or fine bark, which should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. Ideal temperature range is between 55–75 °F, with slightly cooler nights to encourage blooming.

Dracula chiroptera var. xanthina is perfect for collectors of cool-growing, atmospheric orchids. Its ghostly blooms and delicate presence make it a breathtaking addition to terrariums, shaded orchid benches, or display collections seeking otherworldly beauty.
