    If you can find the silver shield variety, go get it. In the Philippines it's a common variety that's known for its resiliency to both hot and rainy season. Literally a hard to kill type of episcia.

    Hello, great video. I just got a Cleopatra. I heard you say you had trouble growing so you put in terrarium. I never done terrariums. My question is how do you water them in there?

    I also love episcisa. I lost my picaso, and c leopatra. Also my pink dreams. My pink smoke is holding on. I also have the made one, a dark brown, with two different colors, orange and yellow and orange mixed in it. I have been looking thru everything on the internet to find out what its name is. This video is about three yrsold. Did you do any other videos???

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  Před 3 měsíci

      I too found that some are easier to grow than others. They also require more space than violets. I no longer grow Cleopatra, Faded Jade, Strawberry Patch, Silver Sheen, and Silver Skies. The others are still holding on. Here is my Episcia playlist, check it out for more videos: czcams.com/play/PLUjJPrUsRFqLqqC0fMx78ybE-LmlbCjXv.html&si=42-uwoGJKR9IDo6B

      Check out my potting mix video, I use the same mix to grow all of my plants: czcams.com/video/pLLcZOfIo-E/video.html. I grow most of them using the same wick watering method that I use to grow my African Violets: czcams.com/video/iHcYCCjPVGo/video.html. There are a couple that I water by hand - once or twice a week, whenever the top of the soil looks dry. Happy growing!

    So nice finding your video. I need help! My Cleopatra almost died but is coming back. Also finally found an Ember Lace but seem to be losing it. It may be a humidity problem--put in a bubble but the leaves started to get mushy. Do you ever get mushy leaves? Thanks for any advice

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  Před 3 lety +2

      Glad you liked it! I lost one of mine, too, it was Faded Jade - still learning. The tricky part about growing them in a bubble is to make sure the potting mix is light and airy, mine is 50 ProMix-BX/50 medium-coarse perlite, and also allow some access of air (I cover mine and leave a little space where the air can access to the inside of the terrarium). Also, important to add a layer of horticultural charcoal on the very bottom, under the potting mix, and water sparingly. Happy growing!

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  Před 3 lety +1

      I grow them in 50/50 peat moss and perlite, some are top watered, and others - wick-watered. 1/8 teaspoon per gallon of water of Jack's Classic 20-20-20, for wick-watered - partial shade, natural light mostly.
