Mark -
. in my experience there are some clones of S.S. that are truly minis and leaves stay under 1/2". To have an attractive specimen- you need to pin stolons when they appear, may be take cuttings and stick in the same pot.

It is a really neat easy plant.

Thanks Irina. My largest leaves are just under 1" long, so is this going to be a larger variety? I've included a picture below. It's a small starter plant.

Let's say it still will be a small leaf plant. I saw leaves on episcia Kee Wee of the size of a man's hand.

If you want it to grow faster - put it under the dome.

Hey Mark,

Nice plant! Although it is worth having just for it's foliage, I was wondering if you knew what color the flowers will be?

Well, if I had first looked at Irina's link to Ron Myhr's site I would have found out that the blooms were orange. lol In bloom I bet that plant looks magnificent!

Hi: I have a Chocolate Soldier episcia that I love and is growing like crazy, and would like to get a couple different episcias, but am worried that I won't even be able to keep the one happy. My concern is maintaining enough humidity and warmth during the winter for them. I like to keep a cool house, but need to know how cool is too cool for episcias? Humidity is not as much of a problem since I would keep them in the kitchen, where the humidity doesn't seem to go below about 50. Would I have to keep them in a terrarium?
