~~~ EPISCIAS ~~~

Episcias are commonly called "flame violets," and are primarily grown for their beautiful foliage. Flower colors range from shades of red and red-orange, to pink, lavender, and even yellow. Quick growth and continuous blooms will be easily achieved with 14 hours of fluorescent light daily or by placing plants in a very bright window. The foliage color will vary according to the light intensity. Episcias are warm loving plants, detesting cold air drafts and over watering. Let soil become slightly dry between waterings. Use a light porous potting mix. Feed plants regularly, using a well balanced fertilizer, at 1/4 tsp. per gallon of water, with every watering. Fertilizer may be increased to 1/2 tsp. per gallon of water during spring and summer, when plants are actively growing.  Note: Because of the extreme sensitivity of Episcias to cold temperatures, no Episcias will be shipped after October 15th of each season! Shipments made after this date are NOT guaranteed!
