I really like the Pleurothallid/Dracula/Masdevallia orchids and they should all probably grow fine in my highland tank conditions but this one is a lot of cash and so I thought I see if any of you are growing this one and how easy/often it flowers. also how dark should I keep it? I've read these orchids flower intermittently throught the year, is there somekind of trigger? more light, more fertilizer, warm season, drying out, etc? Also this would be my first in the Dracula family (I had a Masd. bella donna which I killed with too much light) is this one a good choice or should I start with an easier/cheaper Dracula?
Thanks for any thoughts!
