Disa propagation...
 

i am completely stuck! i have about 10 Disas, 3 of which have about 30 growths in their pots, i know that this time of the year is the best for propagation, but does it matter that they are all still very leafy? any advice would be wonderful!

thanks alot! Gareth

I am wondering if you could take and divide them, and then use something
like Fantstic Fungi (page 74 of Charley's ) to help propagate them.

Disa division is done much the same way as for bulb
plants such as daffodils; i.e., split off individual
tubers or groups which have roots and repot. Leaves
make no difference. Old plants of course will die
off; it's the new growths which will carry forward.
