Episcias are beautiful plants belonging to the Gesneriad family. They have a stoloniferous growth pattern and produce plantlets along the length of its runners. Episcia Emerald Velvet features varying colors on its leaf edge with bright green in the centers. Episcia grow naturally in moss and in rock crevices making it a great vining choice for terrariums or terrarium-like container gardens. Like most terrarium suitable species, Episcia Emerald Velvet thrives in higher humidity levels and prefer partial shade but will tolerate bright, indirect lighting sources. Direct bright light, or direct sunlight will dry and damage this plant. Signs of insufficient humidity levels will appear in the form of crisping or browning leaf edges. Normal pruning will be necessary to keep the plant in tip top shape as Episcia has the tendency to grow over itself and will result in a mangled appearance if not tended to.

Episcia Emerald Velvet is NOT an aquarium plant. Submerging this plant in an aquarium will kill it!
