Velvety dark-green leaves marked with a “pine tree” of silver-chartreuse on the veins; light blue-lavender flowers. Other leaf forms may be bronze or green marked with silver. Great color and texture, rather small-leaved and compact growing habit, a pleasure to watch and touch.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Water moderately, keeping just moist in winter.
Fertilizer
Feed a 1/4 strength fertiliser at each watering. Give houseplant food to Episcias twice a month with any good water-soluble liquid fertilizer, remembering, of course, to fertilize only on well moistened soil. This safeguards tiny roots from fertilizer burn. Keep episcias pest free by giving them a thorough inspection for pests.
Sunlight
Best grown in full sun to part shade.
