Description
Disa fragrans, also known as the Fragrant Disa, is a stunning terrestrial orchid native to South Africa. It's renowned for its beautiful, fragrant flowers. The flowers are typically pink, mauve, or white and can have a delicate, sweet scent. The plant has slender stems and lance-shaped leaves. Disa fragrans thrives in cool, moist environments and requires well-draining, acidic soil. Unlike many orchids, it prefers partial shade and regular watering, especially during its growing season. Avoid overwatering, as the roots are susceptible to rot. Consider using a specialized orchid potting mix. Propagation can be done through division or seed, but it can be a challenging process.
