Episcia Kee Wee started to bud (only one, *sigh*) and it bloom after 3 days and lasted for 4 days. During its bloom, the cloudy weather (rainy season) causing my camera flash to go off. In real life, its red bloom is as red as fresh chilli - striking beside our wooden main door.Note: I think it doesn't do well with liquid fertilizer, Impra Agro Spray.
I experimented to propagate episcia stolons into a small pot from its mother-plant since 3 days ago, but it doesn't seem to grow well in this recent rainy weather. http://www.robsviolet.com/repotting_episcias.htm
More on Episcia (03-02-2009); Care: Good indirect light, Temp 16 - 21 deg C, keep it on the dry side, pot in peaty mix. This is an attractive plant that grows in a pendulous fashion.
Attractive foliage, and flowers, though small, are of brilliant red colouring and appear for many months in the middle of the year. Where growing conditions are to their liking, these plants can be grouped in hanging baskets of reasonable size to make a splendid feature in a room. Good light is essential, but strong, direct sunlight should be avoided. peacebella.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
