This is the first disa I’ve tried in a while, group order nyeric and I got from wally orchard. The stem is crooked since I was growing it on short shelves in my bedroom, and the spike was growing up under the upper shelf; i was turning the pot to try and keep straight

Yesterday. I’m not sure I’m the greatest disa grower, but I did heed wally’s suggestion about if you want a disa flower and keep the plant alive, buy one of a certain age. This one was indicated likely to flower and be healthy rather than the medium or small ones. I have it in a tray that holds pure r/o water and lots of media in a clay pot. Kept it away from bugs, no fert
It does have a light, nice fragrance

Congrats on the flower. That reminds me, how are its companions- wasabi?
 
Closeup of the flower center.
About the wasabi, I had two plants. One suffered a bit when I was away, it died. The other was doing okay and then two days ago I saw the tray it was in had dried out and the plant was limp :eek: . I watered and when I get home I’ll see if the plant popped back
A plant I gave to a coworker he was keeping in at the time, 80+F apt and it rotted. One I gave to cousins wife, it died. I gave one to my sister, she said it was languishing and had fruit flies (maybe fungus gnats). Nyeric has the other, have to see if his is alive
