Episcia's blooms only last about 1 week, but they do bloom frequently with the right care. If we have one in bloom, we will ship it first.
Typically, the leaves are colorful in the summer and change to a dark green in the winter. Some only partially change. They are all uniquely beautiful, thus the name.
Care Instructions:
Sunlight: 10+ hours of Indirect sunlight for optimal blooming. If you expose to direct light, morning sun is best and limit to only 2 - 3 hours. If the leaves turn brown and dry out (trim them off) you might be giving too much sun.
Watering: Water when top of the soil is dry. Water in the morning is best to avoid mildew. Episcias like to be moist, but not soggy. Drain excess water.
Fertilization: Liquid Fertilizer 8-14-9 Use a weak solution each time you water for best blooming results.
Temperature & Humidity: 70°to 90°F; 40% to 50% humidity. NOTE: Episcias cannot handle temperatures under 60°.
Cold Weather Shipping: To reduce the risk of damage to your plants, if your area is experiencing cold weather, we will include 'heat packs' and 'packing insulation' as needed at no cost. We cannot guarantee the plants if damaged by weather or carrier mishandling of the package.
