    Disa uniflora v. flava

    Wow! Great color, very rarely seen variety! That's a quick turnaround from sowing only a couple years ago. I'm trying a number of disa seeds on Western W9.5 with coconut but nothing has germinated yet after 4 months. Maybe I'll try peatmoss next. I have an alba seedling growing that should be...

    Paph. tigrinum 'Dana'

    Great plant John! Thanks for culture tips. Sorry to hear about the other buds. I've got a tigrinum in low bud thats been sitting in the crown for over 6 months. Is this normal? Trying to keep it on the dry side

    Disa

    Hey Lise, what type of media mix & pot type & size are you using? I've received some in great condition growing in a coir & perlite mix, in 4.5" plastic pot, and short saucer that I wait until saucer is dry until I water again. This is not the mix I typically use, but the uniflora seems to do...

    Disa uniflora

    I grow these with the highland nepenthes and some masdevallia and Draculas. They sit on a shelf at near floor level and it will get to the upper 20s Celsius and occasionally above 30 in summer. As long as they're kept moist and there is air movement, the clay pots cool the root zone to keep them...

    Disa uniflora

    Thanks David! I've heard this too, but since following John's growing advice, and sticking to it, I've found Disas to be the most prolific grower in my collection. So long as they do not dry out nor overheat, they grow like weeds. Knowing this, they do not like being forgotten about. I keep...

    Disa uniflora

    Thanks all! I got most of my info from your posts here John! I grow in similar mix to you, around 50:50 sphag/perlite and sometimes I'll mix in some charcoal. I predominantly use 4" clay pots and put LECA in the bottom. The pots only have 1 drainage hole, so after potting up, I make sure the...

    Love it!! Wonderful colour!

    Disa uniflora

    This one I've had for a couple years and has done really well, throwing out new growths everywhere. Happy with the outcome, but the stem is rather short, likely from growing in higher light.

    Wonderful photos and great blooming! I love these Formosae types! A very striking lip on this one
