Episcia cupreata needs plenty of light but cannot tolerate the strong rays of the sun. Water with moderation and let the soil dry in between waterings. Flame violets need high humidity, but cannot tolerate water on their leaves. Fertilize every 2 weeks.
The Episcia in my garden is a gift from Brother Matthew, who happened to be clearing some overgrown plants at the La Salle Centre. Took a few runners from the mother plant. Currently the plants give out bright red flowers almost every morning, irrespective of the weather condition. Propagation is easily carried out through cutting, provided the stem comes with the roots.
