Dracula posadarum is a fascinating miniature orchid species from the Dracula genus, known for its intriguing, insect-like flowers that hang downward in clusters. Each bloom features sharply triangular sepals in deep chestnut or burgundy tones, often with subtle veining, framing a pale, expressive lip—giving the flowers an appearance reminiscent of tiny forest creatures or masks.

This compact epiphyte excels in cool to intermediate conditions and prefers shaded, humid environments similar to its native cloud forest. It thrives in bright, filtered light without direct sun and requires high humidity and consistent moisture in a well-draining medium like sphagnum moss or fine bark. Ideal daytime temperatures range from 60–75 °F, with nights cooling slightly to around 55–65 °F. Good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues and support healthy growth.

Dracula posadarum is an excellent choice for orchid enthusiasts who appreciate unique, moody flowers and have space to recreate misty, cool conditions—making it a striking and mystical addition to any temperate greenhouse or terrarium display.
