Meet Fittonia ‘Mosaic Skeleton’—the tiny plant with a bold bone pattern. Her dark Lime little leaves are traced with striking Red veins, creating a graphic skeleton effect that looks amazing up close. Compact, detailed and full of contrast, she is perfect for terrariums, small pots and moody mini jungle displays.

  • The Formal Name: Fittonia albivenis ‘Mosaic Skeleton’
  • The Nickname: Mosaic Skeleton Nerve Plant
  • Roots: A cultivated Fittonia selection from South American tropical forest parentage.
  • Natural Vibe: Humid tropical understories where small creeping plants enjoy filtered light and steady moisture.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She prefers bright indirect light; avoid direct sun, which can crisp the delicate leaves.
  • Best Room: A closed terrarium, bright bathroom, kitchen shelf or humid plant cabinet.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer using a diluted houseplant fertiliser.
  • Tropical Feels: High humidity keeps her looking full, fresh and richly patterned.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her warm at 16–26°C and away from draughty windows.
  • Thirst: Keep her lightly moist, but never leave the pot sitting in water.
  • Safety First: Pet-friendly – Fittonia is generally listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs.
  • The Bedding: A fine, airy terrarium-style mix with good moisture buffering is ideal.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from short stem cuttings kept warm and humid.
  • Space Needs: Low-growing and spreading, so she suits small pots and planted glass displays.
  • Speed: A steady grower in humid conditions and slower in dry household air.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for fungus gnats if overwatered and mealybugs in dense plantings.
  • Moving Day: Repot gently only when the roots have filled the nursery pot.
  • Haircut: Pinch tips to keep her compact and remove any tired stems at the base.
  • Fresh Air: A tiny statement plant that brings bold pattern to mini jungles and terrarium scenes.
  • Plant Lore: The skeleton look comes from the pale veins that stand out sharply against the darker leaf surface.
