Fittonia Care Guide

Fittonia plants, also known as Nerve Plants, are stunning additions to any indoor space. They're perfect for terrariums, hanging baskets, or small pots.

Their beautiful, veined leaves come in a variety of colors and patterns.

------------------------------------

GROWING IN TERRARIUMS:

Fittonia plants thrive in terrariums due to their love for high humidity. The closed environment helps maintain moisture, which these plants adore. They're also relatively small, making them a great fit for mini indoor gardens.

------------------------------------

FLOWERS:

Fittonia plants produce small, often insignificant flowers. These blooms are usually white or pale-colored and don't last long. The leaves are the main attraction, and that's what makes Fittonia so special.

------------------------------------

WATERING:

Fittonia plants prefer moist soil, but not waterlogged.

Water them gently, making sure not to get water on the leaves. In terrariums, watering should be minimal, as the closed environment maintains humidity.

------------------------------------

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS:

Fittonia plants prefer bright, indirect light.

Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so filtered light is ideal. In terrariums, light should be moderate, as direct sunlight can cause a massive heat wave in the glass.

------------------------------------

PROPAGATION:

Fittonia plants are easily propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings from the tip of a stem, remove lower leaves, and plant it in moist potting mix.

Keep the soil warm and humid, and you'll have a new plant in no time.

------------------------------------

MEDIUMS:

Fittonia plants prefer well-draining potting soil that's rich in organic matter. A mix specifically designed for tropical plants is a great choice.

In terrariums, a layer of small rocks or pebbles can help with drainage. With the right care, your Fittonia will thrive and add beauty to your indoor space.
