smooter80 wrote:What lighting, temps and humidity do you grow your D. schizandra? Any tips?This species is a very odd grower for me, consistent with what many others report - I initially had it in my highland terrarium where I keep my Heliamphora and HL Nepenthes, but it never performed too well there, either due to too much light or higher day temps around 80F during the summer (probably the latter). I have since moved all my D. schizandra to my basement, where I keep them in front of a south-facing window that gets direct light for about 2 hours of the day and indirect light for 4 more. The temperature never rises above mid-70s and drops to mid/low 60s at night. They're in enclosed glass containers so humidity is 100%. Mine have only grown well in Sphagnum mixes for me - they love live Sphagnum and also grow nicely in pure LFS, but the plants I used to experiment with a peat/sand mix suffered (others report different results though). If I had to give solid tips, I would definitely say keeping the temps cool should be a priority - low temps, high humidity, and medium/low light should do the trick. If those parameters are met it's quite easy to grow.
