Episcia dianthiflora, also called Alsobia dianthiflora is native to Costa Rica and Mexico . It is a superb plant, very vigorous, with very fleshy circular leaves, covered with strong hairiness. The stolons that run on the surface of the soil allow the plant to multiply like the plain green Chlorophytum . By cutting them, the main growth is encouraged, allowing a beautiful shape and more regular flowering... because the sight of its splendid white flowers with chiseled petals irremediably triggers the desire to encourage its blossoming!

Episcia dianthiflora is relatively easy to grow as long as it grows in a very humid environment.
