Dendrobium Uzhupud Jewels is an enchanting miniature epiphytic hybrid (Dendrobium Mingle’s Sapphire × D. cuthbertsonii) known for its compact size and vivid, pink-mauve flowers. Despite its small stature—typically around 5 cm tall—this orchid delivers a bold pop of color and charm, making it a standout addition to any collection.
It thrives in bright, indirect light with daytime temperatures between 20–30°C and a cooler night drop. High humidity levels (around 50–70%) and good airflow are essential for optimal growth. Use a free-draining bark-based mix, water thoroughly during the active growing season (spring to fall), and reduce watering slightly during cooler months to promote blooming. Whether mounted or potted, it prefers consistently moist—but never soggy—conditions.
Many growers appreciate not just its beauty but also its pleasant fragrance, making it both visually and aromatically appealing. Ideal for terrariums or compact growing spaces, Dendrobium Uzhupud Jewels is a rewarding choice for orchid enthusiasts seeking something truly unique.
