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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
