Delightful Disa

[Paul T]

Derek,

I'm hoping to head off more losses by picking everyone's brains, but I understand what you mean.  So much comes down to your own environment and conditions.... regardless of what you're "supposed" to do, some things don't work in your own situation, so trial and error works out what works for you.  That is why I grow so many things that shouldn't grow here.... I don't let them read the instruction manuals, so the plants don't know that they're not supposed to grow the way I am growing them.  

P.S.  Hopefully you got my emails yesterday?

Paul yes I will answer later, here is the photo of the Disa pot showing growth from the side as I said the brown on the old leaf is fertiliser scorch.

As the website says, Disas come from Africa. So does this mean that Disa lovers are Afridisiacs?

Actually, Lesley, I've got to hand it to you for that one.  Well thought out!!  I will probably think of Disa now if I ever hear the term aphrodisiac in the future.  You've tarnished me for life. 

Thanks for the chuckle.

Lesley,  you are quick at the draw!  That IS a good one.
