- How I grow Disa Orchids which I intend to grow in my cool to cold greenhouse here in the UK.
A recently acquired young division of Disa "Watsonii Bramley". Potted in 60% peat moss and 40% perlite.
A stunning hybrid created by crossing Disa Uniflora & Disa Kewensis.
So follow me along the growing season" fingers crossed" to see it bloom.
What I forgot to mention was when feeding, feed on the bottom tray not directly into the pot.

That's a lovely flower, Mick. Looking forward to seeing it's progress.
Love Disa orchids, yours looks very healthy. Thanks for sharing Mick.
Fingers crossed Margaret.
One of my faves, I've been considering trying a hybrid myself.
It looks nice and healthy, good luck 😀
Thank you Fernanda
Great video 👍 really enjoyed watching 😊 Great channel you have. Happy New Year
Many thanks for watching and Subscribing, very much appreciated.
Just ordered my first Disa, a Cape St. Francis!
I’m sure you’ll have amazing success unfortunately for me having them in small trays stood in a small amount of water of which on occasion I forgot to fill.
Lynn we all need a bigger greenhouse, I doubt if it will stop at one, got all that potting mix left lol 😂 I’ve got about six Dracula’s at the minute, I have been swapping my Massies with other local growers, that way I add to my collection otherwise I’d have 5 of each plant 🌱
Hi Mick, I have a couple of disas, but have been using a sphagnujm/perlite mix to grow them in, which can be challenging when it comes to repot time... I am always breaking roots when removing the sphagnum, I shall be watching with great interest to see how yours does in peat/sphagnum. Please keep us updated!
Thanks Judith the grower I visited changed to this mix 6 years ago and has had amazing success, I will definitely do updates thanks for watching.
Will it stop at 1 I wonder, probably not. I have often looked at them but never tried them and now in my cool house I have no room for any new orchids. I would say I need a bigger greenhouse but got nowhere to expand except maybe adding a 4’ extension on the back. What Draculas do you have Mick they are a beautiful genus and I will have some splitting to do soon. This is why I have a full greenhouse as I keep everything when it is divided so this. Year I am going to grow them on and then sell them. Love the look of the flower for the Disa.
Great video Mick! I have a few Disas coming in the mail so I’m going to have a go at them myself. Any update on this one you repotted 8 months ago? I’m curious how well it did. Thanks!
I've got a couple of pups coming up I'll show it on a future video, thanks for watching and commenting.
New subscriber Mick. I have had success with Disa over the last few years. I got them from Dave Parkinson Goole and potted similar to you with rainwater. The flowers are beautiful and they increase yearly. I notice in the background of your video Orchid Focus fertilizer and wonder how you find it??
To be honest Ken I don’t use orchid focus anymore, I only use Rain-Mix fertiliser on my masdevallias Orchids, personally I think there all about the same so long as you’re plant is getting some nutrients and it’s a personal choice of each growing, thanks for watching and subscribing. Happy growing.
Loved your Dias orchid potting up I would love to try one . Will they grow inside?
Just been speaking to the grower I got this disa off who said they would be better of growing outdoors during the summer and a frost free environment in a winter, but he's never grow one indoors so could be worth a try.
Could the Disa be grown in a self watering method ? I grow some of my species phalaenopsis this way and they are doing really well.
Jackie I only have the one but I know they have to be potted in peat and perlite and their roots are to be kept moist during the growing season I stand mine in a saucer of water so cannot give you a definitive answer, sorry the internet may be more helpful to you. Thanks for watching.
