9. Draculas aren't rare; they're just a little difficult to grow due to their need for high humidity

Dracula simia is easier to grow than other draculas because they tolerate a wider range of temperature than other draculas do, but in general, most can be grown in conditions similar to those of their close cousins, masdevallias. Both have neat paddle-shaped foliage and are fun to grow.
