look what I found!

21 years ago

I found this at a local nursery and I just love the colors! No label but searches lead me to believe it is a "Pink Brocade" or at least one of those "Pink" varieties. Anyway I think it is a lovely plant. And it should love the humidity in TX when I move!

Enjoy! Kim

Hi Kim,

Very nice episcia!

What part of Texas are you moving to?

Hi Larry! I am moving to College Station which is in the southeast part of the state. I am going back to graduate school so I will be keeping busy.

Gorgeous! How much humidity does this guy require?

Lots, Randi. I can grow them outside here in south Louisiana, close to Texas, but inside I usually keep them in a terrarium on my lightstand. That makes it pretty easy even in a climate like yours.

Wow, I wish I could find that quality of plant locally! Other than at an AV show I went to a couple years ago, I've only once seen any Episcia for sale around here, and that was at a plant-enthusiast friend's personal plant sale.
Your plant is a real beauty!
