The heli dies because of the heat to the root crown. Heli roots cant withstand heat for prolong period. You may grow it for a short period then suddenly the whole plant die.

I grow mine outdoor at tropical temperature (I didnt measure how much is the temperature at my garden). Media is pure spagnum moss. Sit on 1cm water tray.

If you do want to grow heli, try to grow it in your bed room which have aircon.
Grow it inside a Covered tank with false bottom reservoir and fan. The water of the reservoir will keep your heli root cool then room temp, must not more then 28 degrees.

Delwin, growing plant indoor is no no for me. eeeemmmm... Suppose say, try not to...

Then you have to fix up a small cool green house at your garden.
Use evapourating and large exhaust fan to cool down during the day.
Use an potable aircon to cool it at night.
