You can easily mistaken this one with Episcia Monet as both have similar flower colors. The difference is that this one has broader wider leaves like of a faded jade.
Just as I had suspected, the plants that comes from Cameron Highlands have short life-span as these require immediate attention in re-propagating and re-potting as the started to have root rot together with bud drop and foliage drop. Common symptoms of stress which often kill sensitive plants.
Once replanted, this episcia will slowly grow back to its former glory. And so, a lot of care and attention is required to ensure the success of the plant growth.
Overall, it is a wonderful hardy plant to cultivate. I would recommend this one as a easy hardy plant similar to Episcia Faded Jade.
