Flame violet Episcia cupreata is a trailing houseplant known for its textured, often coppery or silver-variegated foliage and small, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, and orange. It is a relative of the African violet and thrives in bright, indirect light, high humidity, and consistently moist, but not soggy, soil. Flame violets are commonly grown in hanging baskets or on shelves where their vines can trail.
