Disa are terrestrial orchids typically found in the mountainous regions of Africa. Requiring careful attention to mimic their natural cool and moist habitat, disa thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity. They prefer well-draining, slightly acidic soil and consistent moisture without water-logging. Gardeners face challenges with disa such as root rot, fungal infections, and pests like aphids. Seasonally, disa demands cooler temperatures in winter with reduced watering, while summer necessitates increased humidity and consistent soil moisture.
