Episcia Unpredictible Valley

I've heard this one is a bit easier than say Cleopatra or some of the other pinks. And I LOVE the colors! Anyone have one?

And Moonlight Valley:

I have had all the light pink and green ones at one time or another. I think they are all the same in difficulty keeping them. The only way is some form of a terrarium or mini greenhouse.

I just packaged up Unpredictable Valley tonight for Maine. (LOL)
All I have left are some Pink Dreams which I promised to jannich.

Those two Beauties are on my spring wish list!

Lin, I'm going to TRY to get babies from a leaf. IF I do, I will save you an Unpredictable Valley. She had a little bit of a rough trip but that's OK, propagation is a good thing. I put leaves down in all kids of different ways so that HOPEFULLY one way is sure to bring me a baby or two. Seacho, you are welcome to a baby too if I get any and you're still interested this spring. I'm going to try to keep some babies in terrariums but some of them (listen to me, I already sound like I'm going to get more than a couple *lol*) I'm going to TRY to harden off to get used to my lack of humidity *lol*

Kim, thanks for your offer! It'll be interesting to see if you have success with the hardening off for low humidity. That would be great if you could create a strain that doesn't mind low humidity, wouldn't it? You'd have people camping on your doorstep, wanting babies!

So far the leaves have remained turgid on the ones that I didn't put on heat. I'm leaving a few on the heat though and just keep trimming them :) Keeping fingers crossed :) This will be an interesting adventure to say the least :)

good luck, Kim! I am your biggest fan. No one deserves to live such cold (LOL)
You know I am teasing you!

OMG Gail......I am YOUR biggest fan you silly goose. YOU are the one that knows how to grow. I'm just the little black sheep trying to learn from all of you *lol*

If I lived in your snow and ice, I bet you i would be screaming for how in growing so many of these kinds of plants! (LOL)

Well, now I know why they call this an "unstable" episcia.
I have had GREAT luck with episcia up until I met this girl. FUSSY!
I have lost all but 2 leaves :(
Still have hopes for the 2 leaves but certainly not feeling real positive that's for sure :(

Waaaaaa

I had to go look that one up! Beautiful! According to the note Snowrose left on that one, it will do real well in Terrarium conditions - may actually prefer it!
