Nerve Plant (Fittonia albivenis) Mixed Colors | 10 - 15 cm
Description
Fittonia, also known as the nerve plant or mosaic plant, is a small, vibrant houseplant loved for its striking veined leaves. The leaves are usually deep green with veins in white, pink, or red, depending on the variety.
Here are some quick care tips for Fittonia:
🌱 Light
Prefers bright, indirect light.
Can tolerate low light, but colors may fade.
Avoid direct sun—it can scorch the leaves.
💧 Water
Likes consistently moist soil, but not soggy.
It’s dramatic—it’ll wilt quickly when dry, but usually perks back up fast after watering.
Avoid letting it dry out completely.
🌡️ Humidity & Temperature
Loves high humidity—great for terrariums.
Prefers temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C).
Keep away from cold drafts or dry air (like from radiators or AC).
🌿 Soil & Potting
Use well-draining potting mix (like peat-based with perlite).
Make sure the pot has drainage holes.
🌸 Growth & Maintenance
It’s a slow grower and stays compact.
Pinch back the stems to encourage bushier growth.
May bloom tiny white flowers, but many growers pinch those off to keep the plant tidy.
