Episcia 'Malayan Gem' is a beautiful, tropical plant known for its velvety foliage and vibrant flowers. Here are three key tips for keeping it healthy:

  1. Provide Warmth & Humidity – Episcias thrive in warm temperatures (65–80°F) and high humidity. Keep them away from cold drafts and consider using a humidity tray or humidifier if your home is dry.

  2. Bright, Indirect Light – Place your plant in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may reduce flowering and cause leggy growth.

  3. Keep Soil Evenly Moist but Well-Drained – Use a light, well-draining potting mix (such as a blend of peat, perlite, and vermiculite). Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering, as Episcias are prone to root rot.
