Light
Bright, indirect light. Disa species thrive in conditions similar to Cymbidiums or Streptocarpus—filtered sun.

Temperature
Day: 40–85°F
Avoid hot, stagnant conditions

Water & Humidity
Keep roots constantly moist. Use low-mineral water (rainwater, RO, or distilled).
Humidity: 50–80% is ideal.

Media & Potting
Use an open, fast-draining mix such as:
50% perlite
25% sphagnum
25% bark

Repot every 1–2 years, especially after blooming when new tubers are forming.

Feeding:
Disas are sensitive to fertilizer salts. Use 1/4-strength orchid fertilizer bi-weekly during active growth (spring–early fall). Flush with clean water monthly to prevent salt buildup.
