About Fittonia Red Plant - Nerve Plant (Fittonia albivenis)
The Fittonia, or Nerve Plant, is a low-growing foliage plant with green leaves patterned by a network of vivid red-pink veins. It's considered non-toxic and pet-safe, and is a favourite for terrariums and humid indoor corners.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Low to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which fades and scorches the leaves.
- Soil: Well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix.
- Humidity: High - thrives in terrariums and humid bathrooms; dry air causes crisping leaf edges.
Placement
Best in a humid indoor spot such as a bathroom, kitchen, or terrarium, with filtered light and no direct sun.
Care
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist - Fittonia wilts dramatically when dry but usually recovers quickly with a thorough watering.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
- Repotting: Yearly, into a shallow pot.
- Pruning: Pinch growing tips to encourage a fuller, bushier habit.
Note: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. Generally considered non-toxic and pet-safe.
