Care Guide

• Light: Provide low to medium, filtered light and protect the foliage from direct sun.
• Water: Keep the roots consistently moist throughout the year, preferably using clean, low-mineral water. Never allow the medium to dry completely.
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity with continuous, gentle air circulation to prevent stagnant conditions.
• Temperature: Grow in cool to intermediate conditions with cooler nights, avoiding prolonged heat.
• Growing medium: Use an open basket filled with a fine, moisture-retentive orchid mix so descending flower spikes can emerge through the sides and bottom.

With cool temperatures, soft light, humid moving air, and reliable moisture, Dracula chiroptera ‘Uzhupud’ can become a memorable centerpiece in a specialized orchid collection.
