🌿 Fittonia Green Plant – Nerve Plant (Fittonia albivenis)

The Fittonia, commonly known as the Nerve Plant, is a striking tropical houseplant admired for its deep green leaves veined with bright white or silver patterns. Compact and lush, it’s perfect for terrariums, desktops, or low-light corners. While slightly more delicate, its vibrant foliage makes it a rewarding plant for any collection.

🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light enhances vibrant leaf veins.

• Tolerates: Low to medium light, making it suitable for offices and shaded rooms.

• Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch delicate leaves.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Frequency: About 1–2 times per week, adjusting for humidity and season.

• Important: Do not let the plant dry out completely — it wilts quickly but usually recovers after watering.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Rich, well-draining potting mix with peat or coco coir and perlite.

• Pot: Small pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Avoid: Overfeeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Pinch back leggy stems to encourage fuller, bushier growth.

• Repotting: Every 1–2 years, or when the plant outgrows its container.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist regularly or place in a terrarium for best results.

• Temperature: Prefers 18–26°C (65–79°F). Protect from drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
