Fittonia is a small, tropical houseplant known for its striking, patterned leaves. The foliage has deep green, pink, red, or white veins that create a beautiful “mosaic” look. It’s a low-growing plant, perfect for tabletops, terrariums, and indoor décor. Native to rainforests of South America, it thrives in humid conditions.
🌿 Plant Care Guide
☀️ Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the delicate leaves.
💧 Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Fittonia will “droop” dramatically when thirsty but recovers quickly after watering.
🌡️ Temperature
Ideal range: 18°C – 26°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
💦 Humidity
Loves high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier. Perfect for bathrooms or terrariums.
🌱 Soil
Use well-draining, rich potting mix (peat-based or cocopeat mix works well).
🪴 Fertilizer
Feed once a month with a diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring & summer).
✂️ Pruning
Trim regularly to keep the plant bushy and prevent legginess.
