Description
Disa flexuosa is a beautiful terrestrial orchid species native to South Africa. This orchid stands out with its slender, upright stems and lance-shaped leaves. The flowers are its main attraction and are typically a vibrant orange or yellow, sometimes with reddish markings. The plant thrives in cool, moist environments and should be grown in well-draining soil rich in organic matter. It requires bright, indirect light and consistently moist conditions. Protect the plant from direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves and stunt the plant's growth. Disa flexuosa is best propagated from seed or by carefully dividing the tubers. Avoid letting the soil dry out, and water regularly, ensuring proper drainage.
