Mokara Calypso Jumbo Orchids

The Mokara Calypso Jumbo orchid is a bold and beautiful hybrid that instantly grabs attention with its bright magenta and pinkish-red blooms. It has a large flower size and a strong, upright stem, making it a popular choice among floral designers and wholesalers who need a striking orchid that can hold up well in arrangements or displays.

This orchid is the result of hybridizing three orchid genera: Ascocentrum, Arachnis, and Vanda. The Calypso Jumbo variety stands out thanks to its generous flower size (hence the “jumbo” in its name) and brilliant color saturation. Each spike can showcase multiple blooms, with each flower measuring about 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter. The plant typically reaches a height of 24 to 36 inches and produces blooms that can last up to three weeks under the right care.

Thanks to its bright, tropical aesthetic and long vase life, the Mokara Calypso Jumbo is often used in wedding arrangements, centerpieces, hotel décor, and luxury floral installations.

Origin of Mokara Calypso Jumbo

The Mokara Calypso Jumbo is a cultivated hybrid developed specifically for ornamental use. While Mokara orchids originated in Singapore in the mid-20th century, their popularity and cultivation quickly spread to other tropical countries like Thailand.

Thailand’s local orchid farms have perfected cultivation techniques over the years, resulting in high-quality blooms that meet the demands of both domestic and international markets. Today, Thailand is one of the leading exporters of Mokara hybrids, including the Calypso Jumbo, due to its ability to produce healthy, vibrant plants in large volumes year-round.

How to Take Care of Mokara Calypso Jumbo

One of the reasons why growers and florists love the Mokara Calypso Jumbo is because it’s relatively easy to maintain. With the right care, it will reward you with brilliant blooms season after season.

Light and Temperature Requirements

Mokara orchids thrive in bright, filtered sunlight. Place them where they can receive at least 6 hours of indirect light per day. Direct sunlight can be too harsh and may burn the leaves, so a shaded greenhouse or well-lit room is ideal. The optimal temperature range is between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C), with a slight drop at night.

Watering Frequency

Water the Mokara Calypso Jumbo two to three times a week during the growing season, ensuring the medium drains well. These orchids dislike soggy conditions and prefer to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce the watering frequency accordingly during cooler months.

Fertilization

Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) every two weeks. During flowering, you can switch to a bloom booster fertilizer to enhance the intensity and lifespan of the flowers. Flush the plant with water once a month to prevent salt build-up.

Air Circulation

Good air circulation helps prevent diseases and mimics the orchid’s natural tropical environment. Ensure there’s proper spacing between plants and avoid overly humid or stagnant conditions.
