Episcia Silver Sheen, aka Episcia Cupreata Silver Sheen, is a type of Gesneriad with silver leaves that have a bronze band along the margins and bronze mottling as well. 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.

They 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.
They will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good place in your home would be anywhere in a room that has a regular size window between the window and the middle of the room. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.
They need 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.
They 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.
The velvety leaves of Episcia houseplants do not take well to misting or many contacts with water, especially cold water. Instead, provide humidity with a pebble tray or a humidifier in the area, and water with lukewarm water.
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.

How to take care of Episcia Silver Sheen

They 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.

They 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.

They need 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.

They 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.

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Our Story

Falling in love with houseplants was a happy accident. Embracing indoor plants filled the void of being away from nature, diminished our loneliness, and helped overcome the fear of missing out.

As we grew with our plant collection, we realized there was more to appreciate beyond instant gratification. We cherish the memories, experiences, and people we've encountered on our journey with houseplants. The very first plant we cared for, the friends who gifted us their precious cuttings, and the special ones who supported us along our plant journey are what make us JOMO.

We believe joy can be found in the everyday, and the power to inspire happiness is within each of us. We are here to empower citizens to cultivate joy and happiness in their own homes and local communities, through inclusivity, empathy and transparency.
