You don't have to root all the variegated stolons on Ember Lace, just some for back up and more plants.

Any that might be solid green... just remove and toss or grow if you want. Those will always stay green and never become variegated.

Most variegated episcias like Cleopatra, etc. do like and need terrarium type conditions. Ember Lace doesn't have to be grown that way and can be grown in the open as long as there is sufficient humidity.

Episcias as a general rule do thrive in terrariums and can grow like mad in them and even outgrow them in no time. Terrariums conserve water and can go quite a while without watering. Evenly moist is what you want. The best way to check is by touching the medium. If it's moist, it's fine.

Episcia 'Unpredictable Valley' - one of the easier variegated episcias to grow.
