Fittonia (Nerve Plant)

This low creeping plant comes handsomely “decorated” with white, pink, or red veins in the leaves. When flowers appear, they grow erect as white spikes.

Light

Grow shade-loving fittonia in a north window or away from sun in near east, south, or west exposure.

Water

Keep the soil moist at all times. Unless your fittonia is growing in the humidity of a terrarium-for which it’s admirably suited-set the potted plant on a pebble tray containing wet gravel to help raise the humidity.

Special Helps

Feed lightly once or twice a year. Fittonia prefers a porous soil mixture containing plenty of organic matter. Prune to keep under control. Propagate by taking stem cuttings, preferably in the spring.
