🌿 Fittonia Pink Plant (Pink Nerve Plant)

The Fittonia Pink, also known as the Pink Nerve Plant, is a low-growing tropical houseplant admired for its striking, veined foliage. Its leaves are deep green with vibrant pink or fuchsia-colored veins, giving it a vivid and eye-catching appearance. It’s a perfect choice for terrariums, tabletops, or shaded shelves where a splash of color is desired.

🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light.
Tolerates: Low to medium light, though colors may fade slightly.
Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves or fade their colors.

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Frequency: Water 2–3 times a week in warm months; reduce in winter but never let soil completely dry out.
Important: Fittonia is sensitive to drying out and may wilt dramatically — but usually revives quickly after watering.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with some perlite or coco coir.
Pot: A pot with good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

🌱 Fertilization

Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.
Avoid: Over-fertilizing, which can harm the delicate root system.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Prune: Pinch back growing tips regularly to encourage bushier growth.
Maintenance: Remove any yellowing or dried leaves. Mist occasionally to keep foliage fresh.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Loves high humidity — ideal for terrariums. Mist frequently or place near a humidifier if indoors.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C (65–78°F). Keep away from cold drafts or temps below 15°C (59°F).
