Episcia cupreata is a species of perennial plant in the family Gesneriaceae that is found in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela.

The species has short hairy stems and reddish to green stolons (runners).

Leaves are oval shaped with hairy blades that vary from either a deep copper, reddish-green, or only green.

It can be subjected to fungal leaf spots, blights on the stem, and rotting roots.

[2] The plant was once grown from seeds that were sent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, from Colombia in 1845.
