In the wild this plant apparently grows amongst tall grasses so
this would indeed provide partial shade. I have some small plants
which I produced from leaf cuttings and I have put them in strong
light with no ill effects (yet!). If you find you plant is
producing lots of leaves, it isn't getting enough light and
conversely I have seen plants grown in very strong light and they
have had very few reduced leaves.
I think the best way to grow this or any other plant is to just
try different things out. You can normally tell pretty quickly if
your plant doesnt like it and so you do something different. Sure
you may lose a few plants but when you get it right......Ahh!
