Variant

Episcia Silver Sheen, aka Episcia Cupreata Silver Sheen, is known for its vibrant and ornamental foliage. This plant features velvety leaves that display a unique colour combination of deep green and silver, giving them a shimmering appearance under light. The leaves are typically elongated with scalloped edges and may sometimes have a slight reddish or copper tint on the undersides, adding to their visual appeal. Episcia Silver Sheen also produces delicate flowers, which are usually bright pink or red, creating a beautiful contrast against the metallic foliage. Native to Central and South America, as well as the West Indies, this plant is in the same family as the African Violet. Therefore, they can bloom almost all year long when well cared for indoors and can add colour to some dreary winter days.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Episcia Silver Sheen

Sun: Indirect

Episcia Silver Sheen should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Episcia Silver Sheen will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Episcia Silver Sheen needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again.

Humidity: Medium

Episcia Silver Sheen will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided! Avoid misting the leaves though as this can lead to powdery mildew.

Pet Friendly

You can feel comfortable having Episcia Silver Sheen around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.
