If you can find the silver shield variety, go get it. In the Philippines it's a common variety that's known for its resiliency to both hot and rainy season. Literally a hard to kill type of episcia.
Hello new friend here your episcia plants are so gorgeous I love 💕 those plants I just subscribe to your channel thanks 🙏 for sharing your beautiful video watching from California have a very nice day
I grow them in 50/50 peat moss and perlite, some are top watered, and others - wick-watered. 1/8 teaspoon per gallon of water of Jack's Classic 20-20-20, for wick-watered - partial shade, natural light mostly.
I also love episcisa. I lost my picaso, and c leopatra. Also my pink dreams. My pink smoke is holding on. I also have the made one, a dark brown, with two different colors, orange and yellow and orange mixed in it. I have been looking thru everything on the internet to find out what its name is. This video is about three yrsold. Did you do any other videos???
I too found that some are easier to grow than others. They also require more space than violets. I no longer grow Cleopatra, Faded Jade, Strawberry Patch, Silver Sheen, and Silver Skies. The others are still holding on. Here is my Episcia playlist, check it out for more videos: th-cam.com/play/PLUjJPrUsRFqLqqC0fMx78ybE-LmlbCjXv.html&si=42-uwoGJKR9IDo6B
Hello, great video. I just got a Cleopatra. I heard you say you had trouble growing so you put in terrarium. I never done terrariums. My question is how do you water them in there?
So nice finding your video. I need help! My Cleopatra almost died but is coming back. Also finally found an Ember Lace but seem to be losing it. It may be a humidity problem--put in a bubble but the leaves started to get mushy. Do you ever get mushy leaves? Thanks for any advice
Glad you liked it! I lost one of mine, too, it was Faded Jade - still learning. The tricky part about growing them in a bubble is to make sure the potting mix is light and airy, mine is 50 ProMix-BX/50 medium-coarse perlite, and also allow some access of air (I cover mine and leave a little space where the air can access to the inside of the terrarium). Also, important to add a layer of horticultural charcoal on the very bottom, under the potting mix, and water sparingly. Happy growing!
Check out my potting mix video, I use the same mix to grow all of my plants: th-cam.com/video/pLLcZOfIo-E/w-d-xo.html. I grow most of them using the same wick watering method that I use to grow my African Violets: th-cam.com/video/iHcYCCjPVGo/w-d-xo.html. There are a couple that I water by hand - once or twice a week, whenever the top of the soil looks dry. Happy growing!
Good afternoon, I do have a question regarding the soil recipe, do I have to wait a week after I mixed to use fir repotting? Or can I use right after mixing it?. Thank you in advance for you reply. Blessings ❤️
I usually wait for a week, for the garden lime to start working, but sometimes, when I need to use it right away, I skip the waiting period and it works ok, too. Happy growing!
@@conchyruiz2073 Just sold a few Pink Gators - all I had this spring. Moving this year, so inventory is quite limited. Should have more to offer next year, will make sure to propagate some episcia babies for you!

@@grayturtleviolets they’re so beautiful I’ll try again Maybe order again in the spring we will see I just got my violet barn order last week with 3 species & then more African violets
I love Episcias! I finally found a pink variegated one after a long search. Yours are absolutely breathtaking!
Thanks so much! I love the pink ones, too! Happy growing!
Oh I love SL Plants so healthy vibrant and unique
Las episcias son las plantas mas bellas..me encantan
I like them, too - beautiful and easy to grow!
Są boskie 😍🤤
Różowe najlepsze 🤩
❤bellimas, me encantan, .El Salvador
Now I have like 130 varieties
I didn’t even know there were that many! Wow
I find these plants grow with a bit more of light in comparison with AV. I have for over 3 year an its really pretty all lots of blooms!
I love them, too! I also noticed that the leaves have more intense color the more light exposure they get, very pretty.
@@grayturtleviolets that’s right! :)
Stunning Episcia! I have a bégonia and Episcia obsession. I have many varieties if you ever want to trade, I’m in Canada too ❤️
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 💗

Hola. Como es el cuidado de una episcia hibrida?
I grow them in 50/50 peat moss and perlite, some are top watered, and others - wick-watered. 1/8 teaspoon per gallon of water of Jack's Classic 20-20-20, for wick-watered - partial shade, natural light mostly.
Beautiful! Nice varieties.
Glad you like them, appreciate your feedback!

It's hard to find Cleopatra here in the Philippines
Yes, she is a beauty. Worth checking on eBay from sellers that ship internationally.
Wow! Where are you from?

I killed mine 😥
So sorry! I managed almost to kill a couple of mine, too. Still learning here...
@@grayturtleviolets they’re so beautiful
I’ll try again
Maybe order again in the spring we will see I just got my violet barn order last week with 3 species & then more African violets
