Tropical Flower Care: Keep the water in the vase of your
Mokara Orchd fresh. Replace the water every 3 days with warm water keeping the water level near the top of the vase.
Re-cut
1/4" from the base of each Mokara Orchid stem under water using a
sharp knife with each water change. Remove any flowers that may become submerged after re-cutting.
Variety note: There are
many varieties of these beautiful Mokara orchids available in
several vibrant colors. They can be found with single
color blossoms as well as freckled flowers. When you look at the
flower closely it appears that it is smiling at you, hence the
common name Smile orchid. Mokara orchids are usually a short bunch
measuring 18" or less. They are generally sold as a 5 or 10
stem bunches.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains your Mokara Orchid
with each water change. Floral preservative helps to prevent
bacteria growth and feeds your Mokara Orchid flowers helping to
insure a longer vase
life.
If you run out of commercial flower preservative you can
make your own fresh cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar to a
quart of cold water... mixing thoroughly.
