Some time ago I read an article saying that episcias are demanding plants with strict requirements to air humidity. After reading that, I looked at the real plant trying to guess — how can it be that such a hairy plant has such strict requirements for humidity? Well… This “Silver Sheen” was a result of self-seeding. As I didn't need too much of it at home, I took a “half-a-bucket-style” pot, planted the largest seedlings in it, and brought them into the office just to see how it will feel here.

I found that in the office they feel great. No rituals, no spraying, no trays or appliances to make the air humid. Just watering and occasionally moving from one corner into another. And my fertilisers, once in 2-3-4 months. And the plant is happy — it has enough place to grow here.
