Identification and range of Mokara orchids
Mokara orchids are a result of crossbreeding three different types of orchids: Arachnis, Ascoentrum, and Vanda. These magnificent flowers were created through human intervention in Singapore and have since been cultivated and propagated throughout various tropical regions in Asia. They can be found most commonly in Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand, the Philippines, and Hawaii.
The mokara orchid is a highly sought-after plant due to its unique features. Unlike other orchids, the mokara has no pseudobulbs and is notably larger in size. These orchids can grow up to 1m tall, with some lines reaching up to 2m in height. The trunk of the plant is strong and glossy, providing ample support for its many leaves and flowers. Speaking of which, the mokara orchid produces an abundance of vibrant, colorful flowers that can vary in size and pattern depending on the specific line. One distinguishing feature of this orchid is its roots, which not only grow underground but also sprout from the stem. With its robust build and striking appearance, it’s easy to see why the mokara orchid is a popular choice among growers.
