Episcia (A Fast Growing, Easy, Low Light Plant!) Care Tips and Propagation - WITH UPDATES
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- The episcia is one of my favorite houseplants for many reasons. Their gorgeous foliage with striking silver, wispy light leaves, stoloniferous growth habit, ease of care, and fast growth speed are just some of the reasons. I share full care tips in this video, and as usual, I propagate it and give you guys an update over the next few months.

I keep mine in self watering, ceramic violet pots. They're all grown under grow lights because my cacti hog all the natural light. I'm the only one in my plant circle who is in love with these plants; my friends don't understand. It's nice to see others on here who love them, too. I don't feel so alone. :D
Maybe our friends only like expensive and rare plants haha.
I love the episcia too.
I've loved the beauty and elegance of these plants since I was a kid!
😀😀😀
In the 80s someone gave my mom a chocolate soldier episcia. She loved that plant.
❤️❤️
Best looking plant specimen out of all of them on CZcams! Beautiful!
Very underrated! Surprised not many people gave them a chance
Had one years ago and want one again !
Thanks this was very helpful and educational ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
Thank you so much for educating us. My wife is so happy. Keep them coming sir!
I just got this a few weeks ago & one came that's not looking too good. Thanks so much for this video, I'll change its soil as its not as fast draining. I love this plant. Also, those cuttings after 14 weeks are huge! I can't wait for mine to get bigger.
I love episcia! thank you for all the great info!
😀😀
I thought mine was growing so well until I saw yours! These are really lovely plants. Hopefully mine will improve with your tips!
These guys are so unstoppable 😀

Thanks for this video. The one I have was my mom's, so it's at least 18yrs old. It likes to be bottom watered. I need to cut it back, but am fearful(I don't know why). It's really a pretty plant.
😀😀
I had mealie bugs and lost my b beautiful plant. I did manage to save three small stolon. They are doing great.
We rarely see these plants on sale in America. Thanks man.
They're so hard to find, aren't they?
Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful plant. I love plants that put out pups as well so sharing with friends is easier. I need them hanging in my room.
I live in Tokyo. Long hot summers that can be humid and cold dry winters. My plants survive the winter well just in side the window next to the balcony. In winter there is a lot of sunshine. Few gray days. So I watch the plants to see the reaction. Philodendrons etc seems fine. So far.
Beauty of a plant. I hope I'll be able to find it here in my area. Thank you for sharing.
Yayy 😀
I love Pink Smoke, Picasso and Cleopatra 🥰😇
Wow those cuttings!
Let’s count how often ‚actually‘ is used 🤪
Thanks for another great video! 🙏🏼
Lovely plant!
I haven't seen any around.
Looks way easier to look after than my cissus discolor.
Cheers, Jo.
Considering I killed my cissus discolor, this is easier 😀 keep in mine this is in the african violet family 😀
@@onlyplants I've got a few cissus props in sphagnum and jungle mix in a box.
They are growing ok but so hard to maintain growth.
I think I might have to give up too.
Happy plants = Happy Me
Aww... Thank you💗 for this video, its one of my favorite plant, but i killed some of them before, but i try again, and now i have 8 variety.
They are quite easy once you get their conditions right. 😀
My epicia is growing in the wild where we dumped them, in full sun and no watering except during monsoon.... And then i decided to pot them... And took a few rooted cutting and they decayed... now i noted the tips , and hope it will work
Whoaa they are actually not that hard 😀 try to adjust care.
@@onlyplants yes, taking your tips for that... Kept them in shade in bright light zone and watering the root in limits without touching the leaf.... 👍
thanks Sean
Thank you Sean ☃️💚🙃
😀😀
Send me a cutting to Florida. Love it 😍
Im from south america, is sad they are not as appreciated here, when they grow pretty much like weed. So beautiful. I like that even without flowers is so decorative.
Its a human behavior to not appreciate things in their own backyards… indonesians dont value local plants too and there are so many gorgeous ones.
Thanks , now i can propagate my plants
They make wonderful gifts. Ive put many smiles on peoples faces with these babies.
Beautiful Episcia....Sean.
At the moment my Episcia is unhealthy...
Thank you for sharing...Sean.
Try to propagate and start again 😀
my favourite flower, and the leafs can grow bigger as the size of human palm
😀😀
Beautiful 😍
Thank you ❤️
Yeah! It's true. "ΣΚΙΑ" in Greek means "shade". Funny thing is that here in Greece this plant can not be found easily, in nurseries.Oh well.. 😕
It must’ve been described by a Greek botanist 😀
beautiful plants
Thank youu 🥰
Good job
🙏🏽😀
Beautiful...
Yaye 🙏🏽😀
Wow! Beautiful plant! I get most of my plants from Amazon but they don't got this beauty!
They dont ship so well I recommend to get them from a physical store 😀
Ohhhhh I love that!,,,,I want it.
😀😀
I love using my little squeeze bottle! I find reasons to use it 😂
Semangat bang
Makasih Matthew
Aqui no meu quintal tem muita .elas são lindas
😀😀
Hi I love this plant but here in Chicago I haven’t seen it
Hope they become more common soon. They are very very cheap here due to their fast growth habit
HI, do you have a phyiscal shop where I can buy things like soil, compost whatever is needed for gardening?
I dont 😅 Im focused on creating contents only
Is an east facing balcony a good idea? Under the shade
I would say it is but it also depends on size of the window and distance from it. They can live in low light though so you are probably ok!
can you make a video about colocasia (pharaoh's mask)
I dont own that one 😅
Hi Shawn I have a plant that i could not get the proper ID, can you please help me out since i want to take care of it properly!! Where could i send you the photo! They say it is a mature amydrium medium but some say its a monstera epipremnoides
@bo.tan.ist on ig pls
Hi Sean, did you fertilized them during those 14weeks? And do they need fertilizer and how much required? Thanks 😊💕🇹🇹
Nope they actually dont but sometimes I do add a couple of pellets of slow release fertilizer just for good measure. Im talking 5-6 pellets for a 10cm pot so its very very small amounts.
Hey! how you and family and plant world? Hear theres been a earthquake across your country
Everythings ok, they were considered small tremors.
Hi Sean! Excelent cultivar and example it. How many years it has?
Hello if you were asking how old the plant was, it was around 1 years old
@@onlyplants Congratulations Sean! It´s gourgeous.
Bonjour !
Merci 👍. Quel engrais utilisez vous s'il vous plais ? Merci

Merci beaucoup
Hi!
I can’t find the video I watched that you used activated charcoal to rub on a node to propagate it. Do you just buy horticultural activated charcoal powder?
Thank you in advance ☺️
Nope I use food grade activated charcoal. 😀
@@onlyplants ahhhh…I see. Just wipe you’re fingers on them and whala! Powder.
Got it 🙃

I dont sell plants 😀 I almost visit Istanbul this December!
💚💚
I water from the botton
That works too! I used to bottom water my plants when I had a manageable size collection.
What is that amazing water bottle thingy called at 10:00? 😍 I need one
Haha its a usb rechargeable water spray. Maybe find one in your online marketplace of choice
@@onlyplants a what 🤣 glad I asked, I would have never found that haha Thank you so much
@@onlyplants yes I found one! Thank You!
I like you the best.
What size of pot do you use to transfer a rooted small size episcia ?
I like to keep then in 10-12 cm pots.
@@onlyplants Thank you so much.
Hi Shawn! are you selling your Monstera Albo now?
If I do it will be up on my instagram @onlyplants.store but I dont ship internationally yaa
Just an FYI for u. You did not put the links in where u said u we’re going too. Lol
Oh yaaa! I actually take notes and make sure I put it in haha. I may have missed once or twice but it should be up! Would love for ya’ll to shoutout on the comment with time stamp when I do miss it. Thank youu
@@onlyplants 👍🏻 Will try if I ever notice again it was just cuz I kinda wanted it this time lol
Hey, do you have any mail ore something where I can write you, I have some question for you, please...? Thank's
I can only be reached out at @bo.tan.ist on instagram 😀
And responds very quickly on there
episcia aing sehat tapi gak mau tumbuh lebat segitu gitu aja pengen ku buang rasanya
Kurang sinar mungkin… dan juga bisa celup anakan nya di atas pot agar mereka keluar akar.
Ur look very happy but they don’t love me at all.
Wooh try to propagate and start over?
