| Care Category | Requirement | Notes |
| Light | Bright, Indirect Light | Essential for vibrant leaf color and flowering. An East- or North-facing window is ideal. |
| Avoid Direct Sun | Direct, intense sun will scorch the leaves and cause brown, crispy spots. |
| Watering | Consistently Moist | Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil to just barely dry out between waterings. |
| Use Lukewarm Water | Cold water can shock the roots and cause unsightly spotting on the leaves. |
| Avoid Wetting Leaves | Do not splash water on the fuzzy leaves, as this can cause spots, rot, or fungal issues. Bottom watering or watering at the soil level is best. |
| Humidity | High (60%+ is ideal) | This is the most crucial factor. Low humidity will cause the leaf edges to turn brown and crispy. |
| | Boost Humidity | Use a humidifier, grow it in a terrarium/bubble bowl, or place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water (making sure the bottom of the pot is above the waterline). |
| Temperature | Warm | Maintain average room temperatures between 65∘F to 80∘F (18∘C to 27∘C). |
| Avoid Cold Drafts | Keep it away from cold windows, A/C vents, or exterior doors, as it is highly sensitive to cold air (especially below 60∘F or 15∘C). |
| Soil | Light, Airy, Well-Draining | A mix designed for African Violets works well. You can also mix peat moss or coco coir with perlite or vermiculite for excellent drainage and aeration. |
| Fertilizer | During Growing Season | Feed every 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer (growing season) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength, or use an African Violet food. |
| Winter | Reduce or stop feeding during the winter months. |
| Maintenance | Trailing Habit | Episcias are trailing plants that send out runners (stolons). They are excellent for hanging baskets. |
| Pruning | Pinch back leggy stems to encourage a fuller, bushier plant. You can also cut off the runners to encourage more blooms on the main plant. |
| Grooming | Remove any yellowing, damaged, or spent leaves and flowers. |
