Episcia 'Pink Brocade' is a highly ornamental tropical houseplant, prized for its colorful, textured foliage as much as for its delicate blooms. Its beautiful, velvety leaves are soft to the touch. They are mottled in olive green to bronze tones, with very decorative pink to silver veins. The small tubular flowers are bright pink to soft pink. Under optimal growing conditions, it can flower all year round. It is recommended to water it by bottom watering, as it does not like water to touch its leaves.
Non-toxic to animals.
