This Episcia, related to African Violets, has beautiful foliage and blooms! Its textured leaves have silver-green shot down the middle and along their veins, and a deep burgundy in between. Its bright salmon-pink flowers stand out boldly between the foliage, adding bold colour to the beauty of the foliage. Episcia is also known for its ability to flower year-round in the wild, and as a houseplant in the UK will flower from spring through to autumn.

Scientific Name
Episcia cupreata 

Common Name
Flame Violet

Origin
Native to tropical areas in Central and South America

Light
Episcia can handle some direct sun, but are best out of the hottest afternoon sun. An east or west-facing window or greenhouse will work well here.

Water
This plant likes its soil consistently moist, but won't do well sat in a permanent puddle. Water little and often for best results.

Humidity
Used to tropical jungle, these plants like high humidity. If you notice the tips of its leaves going brown and crispy, your Episcia will benefit from a humidity tray to increase local humidity.

Soil
Use a mix that drains well while retaining moisture. Components like bark, perlite and coir can help with this.

Food
Feed every couple of weeks with high-potassium fertiliser (e.g. a tomato feed) in the growing season.

Temperature
This plant needs to stay above 15°C year-round; temperatures around 20-25°C are ideal.

Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!

Sprouts Top Tips
Moisture and humidity are key for keeping this plant happy! A stable, humid environment will help keep the soil from drying out too quickly. An easy way to increase local humidity is to create a humidity tray with pebbles, grit or semi-hydro in a tray or in the bottom of a cache pot.

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.
