I grow many varieties of episcias and they are pretty similar to AV's. I grow them in the same shelves that I grow my AV's. I find they are even easier to grow, can tolerate more sun than AV's and bloom all year long. They are easy to propagate from stolons and can grow rapidly into a large plant. I am in S. Florida also so need to worry about cold temperatures since they grow well indoors all year round. You could even grow them outdoors in our zone except they would need to be brought in for the winter since they cannot tolerate any wind or cold. They are beautiful plants with great variations in the color and texture of the leaves and also the different color of the blooms. I am sure you can do very well with them if you grow AV's successfully.
