Disa culture Just what it says it is
Deflasking your precious Disas Very important. This is where novices kill off 90% of their Disas if they start with flasks. But even the experts kill off quite a few!
Disa Ailments This is not yet operational, but is my next project for this website. I am looking for descriptions and good quality pictures of all and any disa ailments, whether caused by bacteria, fungi, insects, chemicals, or even animals. If you think you can help, please get in touch. An ideal entry would have a complete description of the symptoms, and details of the successful treatment(s), as well as photographic evidence.
