| Hi Buttercup,
I have a few Disas (bought two to try and won two from raffle at an orchid show) that are doing fine since I acquired them in early June. I live in a warm and dry area and am surprised they've survived! So far, all I've done is keep them in a tray with about an inch or so water (RO water) and replace the water of the two I have outdoors every few days (to keep mosquitoes from using it as a breeding place). The two I have indoors and under supplemental lights I replace the water once a week...of course, adding water if it gets low before replacing with fresh RO water. I guess, I'll find out later this year, or early next year, if they're producing new growths underneath.
My Disas are in a sphag moss and perlite mix. The grower whom I bought it from uses a sphag moss and Japanese pumice mix.
