  • The Formal Name: Fittonia albivenis

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She likes bright indirect light and must be kept out of harsh direct sun.
  • Best Room: A terrarium, bright bathroom, kitchen shelf or small humid display.
  • Snacks: Feed very lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted houseplant feed.
  • Tropical Feels: High humidity is her happy place, which is why she is brilliant in terrariums.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her above 15°C and away from cold draughts.
  • Thirst: Keep the compost lightly and evenly moist; she may wilt dramatically if allowed to dry too far.
  • Safety First: Pet-friendly – Fittonia is generally listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs.
  • The Bedding: A moisture-retentive but airy houseplant mix works best, especially with added fine bark or perlite.
  • Family Tree: Propagate easily from small stem cuttings in warm humid conditions.
  • Space Needs: Low, spreading and compact, perfect for tiny pots and enclosed displays.
  • Speed: Moderate when warm and humid, slower if kept cool or dry.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for fungus gnats if the mix stays too wet and mealybugs in crowded displays.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when needed, as she prefers a small pot and steady moisture.
  • Haircut: Pinch back leggy tips to keep her bushy and full.
  • Fresh Air: A sweet little foliage plant that adds instant pattern to terrariums and mini jungles.
  • Plant Lore: The nickname nerve plant comes from the bright veins that run across each tiny leaf.
