The Fittonia is commonly called the "nerve plant" due to the distinctive and intricate pattern of veins that run across its leaves, resembling the structure of nerves. They also have a reputation for being a bit of a drama queen. They can appear wilted on the verge of death and, with a splash of water, revived a few hours later. Yep, that's the Fittonia! Although observing its dramatic wilt-and-revive tendencies is entertaining, too many wilting spells can take a toll on this sprawling beauty. These plants are favoured for their lush, compact structure, making them well-suited for tabletops and terrariums.
CARE:
- It does best with moderate to high humidity.
- Keep soil slightly moist but not soggy.
- Avoid letting the soil completely dry out.
- Flexible with light- Fittonia can tolerate dappled-low light but will thrive with consistent medium-bright indirect light, especially for this variety to maintain its vibrant hue.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct afternoon sun as this can scorch and wilt the foliage.
