Caring for an Episcia ‘Silver Shield’ with red flowers involves paying close attention to a few key factors to ensure it thrives.

Key Care Considerations:

Light:
- Episcias prefer bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their delicate leaves.
- An east or north-facing window is often ideal.
- Insufficient light can cause the vibrant leaf colors to fade.
Watering:
- Maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid overwatering.
- Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
- Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Water more frequently during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce watering in winter.
Humidity:
- Episcias thrive in high humidity.
- Regular misting, placing the plant on a humidity tray, or using a humidifier can help maintain adequate moisture levels.
- Dry air can lead to brown, crispy leaf edges.
Temperature:
- These plants prefer warm indoor temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F).
- Protect them from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
- Avoid temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
Soil:
- Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive soil mix. A mix designed for African violets is often suitable.
Fertilizing:
- during the growing season, fertilize the plants with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength, every few weeks.
Flowering:
- To encourage blooming provide proper light, and humidity.
- Removing spent blooms can also encourage more flowers.
