Episcia cupreata, commonly called flame violet, is a tropical plant native to Central and South America known for its velvety, textured leaves that often show metallic tones of green, bronze, or red with intricate patterning. The foliage grows low and spreads outward with trailing runners, creating a full, carpet-like look. It also produces small, bright flowers that add contrast against the richly colored leaves.
Light should be bright but soft to maintain leaf color and texture. Place it in an east or north-facing window where it gets steady, filtered light without direct sun hitting the leaves. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 12–18 inches from the top of the plant. Too much direct sun can fade the velvety finish and scorch the leaves, while too little light will reduce color intensity and slow growth.
Watering and environment need to stay consistent. Keep the soil lightly moist, never soggy and never fully dried out, using a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark to keep airflow while holding moisture. If the leaves begin to lose their rich color or appear dull, it is getting too much light. If new growth comes in smaller with less pattern, it is not getting enough light. Soft stems or collapse at the base usually point to excess moisture at the roots, while crispy edges often indicate low humidity rather than watering issues.

Beautiful plants I always buy my plants through rooted plant shop. that’s my go to shop
The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.
What a cool way to discover new plants! I love it!
I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
Beautiful plant. Shipping was great. Plant was well protected for shipping. Even came with an instruction card on what you should do when the plant you unpacked it.
