naked episcia

North Providence, RI

Another question from the newbie. I have two varieties of epicsia, and neither is flowering. One is the Flame Violet, and the other is Suomi. The Suomi was flowering when I purchased it. Is it normal for them to not have blooms in the fall? They are inside, by the way. Is there something that I can do to encourage blooms?

Thanks,
Donna

Episcia's (Flame Violet) bloom year round with the right conditions. Here's the link to Plant Files. I know Suomi is in there, maybe you can identify your other one by some of these photo's:

Deerchaser: If you could post a photo of your "other" one someone may be able to give you a proper ID for it. I think the common name for all Episcia's is "Flame Violet".
