Fittonia: The Nerve Plant with Striking Veins

Fittonia, also known as the Nerve Plant, is a popular houseplant prized for its intricate leaf patterns. The leaves are typically oval-shaped with a network of contrasting veins that resemble a delicate web. These veins can be white, pink, red, or even a vibrant mix of colors, creating a striking contrast against the deep green foliage.

Fittonias are relatively compact and low-growing, making them ideal for terrariums, small pots, or as part of a mixed planter.

Caring for Your Fittonia:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant colors.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
• Humidity: Fittonias thrive in high humidity environments. Regular misting or placing the pot on a pebble tray can help.
• Temperature: Maintain average room temperatures and avoid cold drafts.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.

With its intricate foliage and vibrant colors, Fittonia is a beautiful and rewarding addition to any indoor garden.
