Episcia sp. 'Silver Skies' Houseplant Care — 309 of 365

Though I've already highlighted Episcia cupreata here, I wanted to highlight another cultivar that I have that I absolutely adore for it's silvery-sage colored leaves known as 'Silver Skies'. It also gets the brightest fire red orange flower, (hence the common name of "flame violet" or "flame flower"). Though Episcias seem cold-sensitive near blustery windows, I have this on my heating unit, and has not seemed to mind it there. In this video I'll discuss where I'm growing it in my home, and basics like light, watering and fertilizing. You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.
