Fittonia | Nerve Pink
Fittonia | Nerve Pink
Also known as "nerve plant" for its intricate line work on the foliage. This low growing creeper plant is a great choice for terrariums and bathrooms since they love humidity. Keep constantly moist and consider using a peat mix in your potting soil for water retention.
Light: Medium to low light. Too much light will bleach out the colour of veins on leaves.
Water: Check the top of the soil for moistness. You don't want it to be sopping wet but when the top of soil feels dry to touch is a good time to give a bit of water.
Pets: Ingestion of plant is mildly toxic.
