Variegated Episcias

Often referred to as "flame violets", these gesneriads have the family's most beautiful foliage. All grow quickly and easily.   Since they readily produce stolons, they can also be grown as basket plants as easily as table-potted plants

Care is the same as for African violets, though extra warmth and humidity are appreciated.  Easily grown under artificial or natural light, most are ready bloomers all year-round.
