11. mini silver Episcia Silver Skies

a mini episcia with lovely silver leaves. Mine comes from MsC :-)

I keep mine in an enclosure through the winter, as it seems to be a bit sensitive to very dry air. Right now, I have it both in a terrarium and out on the plant shelf. Oh, and another in the office windowsill.

It grows densely and vigorously, so it's possible to make a topiary with it.
Here's one grown using a trellis type structure: http://www.gesneriads.ca/episci10.htm
