Fittonia 'White Nerve Plant'
Fittonia 'White Nerve Plant'
Effort Level: Medium – Fittonia requires a bit of pampering. It doesn’t thrive on neglect, so if you’re up for a challenge and ready to commit, this plant will reward you with its stunning display.
Toxicity: Good news! This plant is non-toxic, making it a fantastic choice for households with curious pets or little ones.
Light Requirements: This beauty prefers indirect light. Think bright, but no direct sunlight, unless you want to see it throw a real fit. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be perfect.
Water and Humidity: The 'White Nerve' likes to stay moist. It’s not into droughts, so keep the soil consistently damp (but not soggy). It's a humidity lover too, so occasional misting or a pebble tray would make it feel right at home.
Extra Tip: Fittonia can be a bit dramatic, especially when thirsty, wilting dramatically to let you know it needs water. But don't worry; it’s a quick reviver once you quench its thirst.
