dracula gigas - Should I get one?
 

Hello, my friends

I have the possibility to get one dracula gigas but I'm not sure if I can provide the adequate conditions.
I would place it in near a window where I'growing a paphiopedilum leeanum.

Do you think it's a good place for it?

Thanks

I don't grow it. This is a cloud forest plant. If you have ever been in a cloud forest at night, you will know what it needs. If you have not been in a cloud forest, I would not get this plant. Until you've been in habitat like this, you can't imagine how wet and cold it is, especially at night.

Thanks for the reply, estación seca.
I've been in temperate cloud forests. You're right, it can be cold but it also reaches temps around 20ºC (68 F). The main problem is the humidity.
But it might be a difficult orchid to grow here.
I also asked the grower that is selling them but got no answer yet.
I'll let you know when it comes.

Perception is relative. Our winter days are almost always well above 20C!

After sending him an email and never got an answer, resend it again and also never got a reply.
So I let a few days pass.

Yesterday night sent him another email with a fake story. I wrote I was asking for informations about his contact because I am building a country hotel and wanted to decorate the gardens with a large qty of orchids. So I wanted to discuss this business with him.

Obviously, today I got an answer...

I replied it was a fake business and told him why I was not pleased with his business due to poor attention to clients requests, unless it means a potencial profit and not some 20 €.

Now I'm waiting for his reaction.

Not the most adult way to deal with this but....whatever.:((

That tells you something about the customer service of this vendors.
