i tried growing D. schizandra in the same conditions but it rotted away. maybe because my humidity wasn't high enough.
Hmmm, looks like I can never grow this in my area. The temperatures in my place is unpredictable. When it rains, it'll be around the same temperature as your growing condition. However, if it's a sunny day, temperature at night do not really go down.

I've already killed 2 prolifera and 2 schizandra.

Is the area where your prolifera is very humid?
