I have a Macodes petula that is doing well for me. It is planted in a cocopeat/perlite mix, which I use for terrestrials, including Cymbidium. For a year, it did nothing...stayed small, minimal if any growth. After placing a mini-terrarium over it (the bottom half of a clear 2 liter seltser bottle) the plant completely revived...it has grown nicely, and while still a small plant, has beautifully iridescent leaves. I keep it on a west facing windowsill, which is shaded for almost the entire year by my neighbors house...only in summer does it get a little bit of weak sun. Take care, Eric Muehlbauer in warming Queens NY......
