12. elegant and well-behaved Episcia Silver Dust
this is probably still my favorite episica. It has a very neat growth habit and needs little light.... so it grows quite flat. Yes, it's a bit "subtle", but still... my favorite, I think. It seems to do pretty well with cool and dry as well, even though the general rule of thumb for this genus is warm and humid.

The pic I have isn't the best - I've grown it nicer than this ;-)

As with any other Episicia, it propagates very easily. growtheworld.blogspot.com/2006/07/propagating-episcias-from-cuttings.html
