Best Locations For Growing Pink Panther Episcia

This plant thrives in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices with bright, indirect light. Its trailing habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets or elevated planters. Non-toxic to pets and children, it's a safe choice for households with curious companions.

Sunlight Requirements

The Pink Panther Episcia prefers bright, indirect light or dappled sunlight. Place it near an east- or north-facing window for optimal growth. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate foliage.

Pink Panther Episcia Care

The Pink Panther thrives in well-draining soil, such as African Violet mix or a standard potting soil with added perlite. Maintain moderate-to-high humidity levels by misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray. Keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 60–80°F, and protect it from drafts.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water from the bottom to prevent wetting the fuzzy foliage, which can lead to rot. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings, and use filtered or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup.

Fertilizing

Feed with a balanced African Violet fertilizer or a phosphorus-rich formula diluted to one-quarter strength. Apply with each watering during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the cooler months when the plant’s growth slows.
