Chocolate Cream

Average Rating 5 out of 5

Stunning!

My plant arrived ready to bloom and when it did less than a week later I was amazed at the beautiful scarlet yellow-throated flowers contrasted by the chocolate pink-veined leaves. Absolutely stunning plant. As usual my last order was extremely well packed and with priority mail my orders only take two days shipping to Tucson. Impressive in every way.

Hearty little plant

I got this from The Violet Barn and it was my first episcia. I knocked it down by accident and it still keeps going. I have rooted some of the runners to start a new plant. I love it.

So pretty!

My plant arrived in great conditions. It is a baby still, bit is growing really well. I do not have any blooms yet, but this plant has the most beautiful leaves, dark brown with metallic pink venation. I cannot wait to see it bloom!

Pink metallic

This is one the most beautiful plants I've ever seen. It has brown fuzzy leaves that are covered with a pink metallic sheen. It is a fast grower with striking orange flowers. I smile everytime I look at it.

lovely color

this is a beautiful plant. the leave are very chocolate and the flowers are a bright red not orange. she has done very well in my bathroom in a west facing window. I live in corpus so we have lots of heat. the contrast between the leaves and blooms is stunning.

First time customer of the violet barn!

I ordered a few Episcia varieties, and one mini violet. Have never purchased a plant from this website before, and I have to say— I’m impressed!!! Everything was VERY well-packaged, gorgeous, and healthy. I love this one! It was the smallest out of the bunch, but a beautiful, high-quality plant :)

Lovely growing pattern

Chocolate cream is as good as its food counterpart! Love the compactness, lines, and growth pattern.

A Great Terrarium Plant

Chocolate Creme is a great terrarium plant. I own Roosevelt's Terrariums in Portland, OR and we use Rob's Violet Barn as our primary source for gesneriads. We have always been very satisfied.

trying this one again

I had this plant over 20 yrs ago & love it! Had it hanging in a west window where it got plenty of light. Runners were at least 3 feet long, complete plant bloomed & was beautiful. Well, that was until a winter storm blew in, no electric or heat for 36 hrs. when I went to living room, there hung my beautiful plant, completely dead. I was just sick. Forgot to move it when I did move other plants. Learned my lesson, will watch this one.

Great Plant!

This Episcia is one of the most beautiful I've ever grown! The leaves are just so striking and it is a good grower and bloomer! What more could you ask for? I would highly recommend it even for a beginner.

Luscious episcia

This episcia is a standout among my episcias. The contrast of the deep chocolate leaf color with its light veining is eye catching. The growth habit is tight and bushy.

Linda Aug 08 2013, 08:24 AM

beautiul!

I love the iridescent color of the leaves on this one. I have had it about a month. I have not had any blooms yet, but It is sending out several shoots and I have 3 new plants started. I am excited to be able to share with friends.

Sandra Jul 10 2012, 12:40 PM

Beautiful!

I ordered 4 episcias. They were packaged so carefully and arrived in excellent condition. One of the varieties I ordered was the Chocolate Cream. It is a nice size and in the last few weeks has already sent out two new shoots. I was so excited to find a source for episcias. Thank you, Violet Barn!
