Caring for an Episcia Pink Pearl – Red Flower involves paying close attention to its needs for light, water, humidity, and temperature.

Light:

Bright, Indirect Light: Episcias thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their delicate leaves.
An east- or west-facing window is often ideal. You can also use artificial light, such as fluorescent grow lights.
Too little light can result in reduced flowering and faded foliage.

Watering:

Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to slightly dry out between waterings.
Avoid Overwatering: Overwatering can lead to root rot, a common problem for Episcias.
Watering Technique: Watering from the bottom is often recommended to prevent water from getting on the leaves, which can cause spotting.

Humidity:

High Humidity: Episcias prefer high humidity levels.
Increase humidity by:
- Misting the plants regularly.
- Placing them on a tray of wet pebbles.
- Using a humidifier.
- Growing them in a terrarium.

Temperature:

Warm Temperatures: Maintain average household temperatures, ideally between 65°F (18°C) and 80°F (27°C).
Avoid Cold Drafts: Protect Episcias from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Soil:

Well-Draining Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix formulated for African violets.

Fertilizing:

Regular Feeding: Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer or a fertilizer formulated for African violets.
Follow the fertilizer product instructions.

Key Considerations:

Leaf Wetness: Try to avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can lead to spotting and fungal issues.
Propagation: Episcias are easily propagated from stem cuttings or by dividing the runners (stolons).

By following these guidelines, you can help your Episcia ‘Pink Pearl’ thrive and enjoy its beautiful foliage and flowers.
