Yellow Mokara Full Moon Orchids

The Mokara Full Moon orchid is a vivid tropical hybrid popular for its sunshine-yellow petals and bold personality. A cross between the Ascocentrum, Vanda, and Arachnis orchid genera, Mokaras are prized for their beautiful colors and strong, long-lasting blooms. The Full Moon variety is popular for its bright yellow color that resembles the soft glow of a full moon – hence its name.

These orchids typically produce clusters of medium to large-sized blooms on tall, sturdy stems. The yellow Mokara orchids are especially eye-catching and often used in floral arrangements, weddings, and tropical-themed displays. Each bloom has a slightly waxy texture and can last up to two to three weeks when properly cared for. The plant can grow up to 24 to 36 inches tall, making it an ideal choice for decorative use indoors and outdoors.

Because of their rich color and graceful appearance, Mokara Full Moon orchids symbolize joy, positivity, and friendship, making them popular as gifts and in commercial floral inventories.

Origin of Mokara Full Moon

The Mokara hybrid was first developed in Singapore in the 1960s and has since become a staple in tropical orchid cultivation, especially in Thailand. Thailand’s warm, humid, and bright climate provides the perfect environment for thriving Mokara orchids.

Because of Thailand’s expertise in orchid breeding and ideal growing conditions, Thai Mokaras, including the Full Moon, are in high demand worldwide. The country’s orchid farms have perfected techniques to consistently grow these orchids in large quantities while maintaining quality, making them an excellent export product for international markets.

How to Take Care of Mokara Full Moon Orchids

Mokara orchids are relatively easy to care for compared to other tropical orchids.

Light and Temperature Requirements

Yellow Mokara orchids thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. They need around 50-70% sunlight daily to bloom successfully. If grown indoors, place them near a window with filtered light. The ideal temperature range is between 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Avoid exposing them to cold temperatures, as they are sensitive to chill.

Watering Frequency

Mokaras prefer to stay slightly moist but never soggy. Water them about 2 to 3 times a week, depending on humidity levels. During hotter months or in dry climates, they may require more frequent watering. Ensure that the potting medium or base allows for good drainage to avoid root rot.

Fertilization

Feed your Mokara Full Moon orchids every two weeks with a balanced orchid fertilizer (such as 20-20-20) for healthy growth and blooming. You can use a bloom-boosting fertilizer high in phosphorus during the flowering period to encourage more blooms.

Also, good air circulation and occasional misting can help replicate the tropical conditions these orchids love.
