Dracula lotax is a rare and compelling cool-growing orchid celebrated for its whimsical and otherworldly flowers. Each bloom features triangular sepals in deep maroon to chocolate tones with striking translucent windows at the center, and a delicate, spoon-shaped lip that gives the flower a haunting, face-like appearance.

This miniature epiphyte thrives under shaded, humid conditions that replicate its native cloud forest habitat. It prefers cool to intermediate temperatures (55–75 °F), consistently high humidity, and bright, indirect light. Grow it mounted or in mesh baskets using a moisture-retentive medium such as sphagnum moss or fine bark. Keep the substrate evenly moist—neither wet nor dried out—and provide ample air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

Dracula lotax is an enchanting orchid choice for collectors seeking mysterious, pendulous blooms. Its ghostly floral display and compact growth make it a perfect fit for terrariums or shaded greenhouse nooks, appealing to lovers of rare, mood‑inducing plants.
