This page is an ongoing project. There are currently over 200 different species known in the genus Disa. Not much is known about the growth habit of most of these species. A handful are known and have been cultivated. Those that have been cultivated will have a reference to the information for your convenience as soon as I can get some free time to do it. Hopefully, this page will be fleshed out as I gain access to more information. YOU CAN HELP! If you have any information about the cultivation of any of the listed species, or information about new species, or would like to share a picture, you can email me at Disaguy@pacbell.net and I would be extremely happy to include the information and credit you as author.
