hongrui,

Can you share your cultivation technic or routine for your prolifera? day and night temperatures and sunlight intensity.

What media do you use?

Thanks.

i keep D. prolifera in shade, mix is 1:1 peat and sand, with a top dressing of sand. no special reason for the top dressing though. because the pot is in shade, i guess the max temp is maybe 30C, drops down at night to maybe 24C.

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?
