The Pink Panther Episcia (Episcia cupreata 'Pink Panther') is a spectacular addition to any indoor plant collection. With velvety, bronze-toned leaves accented by light green veining and bright pink blooms, this Flame Violet is both stunning and easy to grow. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets or as a cascading display in containers. As a cousin to the African Violet, the Pink Panther offers year-round blooms and requires minimal maintenance. This plant is safe for pets and children and easy to add to any room needing a touch of the tropics.
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.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
