I grow D.adelae and D.schizandra in nearly sealed, 10" diameter glass
bowls in a dark window with southern exposure. At most, I get 20-50
foot-candles, except for an hour or so when the sun directly makes
it through the trees and hits the bowl just before sunset.
The mix is 50% perlite/peat, top-dressed with pure peat for aesthetics.
The soil is damp (like a wrung-out rag), but not wet enough for water to
actually pool between the perlite grains. I only need to water every 2
months or so. The humidity is nearly 100%.
These plant *hate* having their leaves misted or touched.
Plant them and leave them alone.

Oops. Cut the light down rather than raise it.
