Thank you Mauro, what temps do you keep them at?

Winter days around 18ºC with max temps around 22-24ºC during short periods, winter nights 10-12ºC, falling as dawn as 5-6ºC in the dawn. Summer days around 28-30ºC max, nights 20-22ºC. Spring and fall are transitional between these two (these are average temps).

Mauro, congrats for your Dracula and thanks for the info 
I've purchased my first Dracula (anthracina) and i'm trying to catch more suggestions i can... You grow yours in basket, filled with bark or sphagnum? I'm thinking to pot mine in a plastic pot with a lot of holes, filled with sphagnum, do you think it could work?  |

I use sphagnum, Claudia (a similar moss we have here, actually). Yes, I think it would work well as long as you provide enough holes for the future floral stems go out of the pot no matter what direction they take. You must be careful with the thin roots using plastic pots. You must assure that they don't keep permanently wet or, as you konw, they die. If you need anything else, just let me know! |

Ok, thank you Mauro
I think i'll use a plastic basket, in order to assure the maximum drainage |

Sorry.  |
