hi neal..not myself but camp one seem to be the disa growing kings...

Disa Growing Tips

DISA= Growing in shallow water

* Water level should be about 1" at the bottom of the pot
* Circulate water and provide oxygen into the water; for small water tub growing, an aquarium air pump can
be used
* If water is not circulated, change water every 1 - 2 weeks
* To flush out accumulated salts, water from above every week

but heres the kick...
"Temperature"

* Ambient temperature should be between 35° and 85° F
* Temperature of the roots should be between 35° and 70° F
* In summer, keep the roots cool (below 70° F); if so, the Disas can tolerate up to 100° F for a short period
* In winter, keep the night temperature below 45F to promote underground growth; as long as the roots are not
frozen, Disas can survive below freezing level, but with some possible frostbite on the leaves


you can grow them in SH as long as you also grow them in the fridgerator.. some use old coolers for this DISA growing.....I would like to try one myself but I know I cant live in the temps a DISA needs.
