Disa Kewensis in flower

[RosieC]

This is my first time flowering a Disa. I bought it in November and unlike the first time I tried this one made it through the winter.

Not sure it will make it another year as I don't really know what I'm doing with it. I didn't repot in time in the spring so it's still in the media I bought it in and I know I've read these don't do well in old medium. Also not sure if I have fertilised to much as I now realise these like very pure water (I have been using rain water).

That having been said, just this week I've noticed a new growth starting. I was worried as I know this is one that dies off and it's the new growths that keep it going. There hadn't been any new growth up until the first sign this week. But I don't really know when new growth is expected

I really am growing this a bit blind with not enough knowledge so I'm just pleased to have got it this far

These photos were actually taken at the beginning of the month before I went away for a couple of weeks. I've been back over a week now and they are still looking just as great
