Hi Emmanuel,

Try growing your plants under artificial light. My guess is that you are
keeping these plants too warm. They like high humidity, high light levels,
and cool temps between 13 and 23 C. My guess is that you are growing them
in an environment that does not provide enough light and is simply too
hot.

I have been growing several species of Helies for some time now with
great success under a 1000 W metal halide lamp in my basement, where
temps range from 25 to 10 C.

I hope that this helps you. Once you have the right environment, you will
find these plants easy to grow, I am sure.

Regards,
Jeff Shafer
