Origin
The Fittonia White Forest, also known as Nerve Plant, has its origin in the tropical rainforests of South America. Countries like Peru and Colombia are the native home base of this special plant. The subtropical climate in these areas offers the ideal growing conditions.

Characteristics
The Fittonia White Forest is a compact, low-growing plant that stands out because of its conspicuously green, crinkled leaf, adorned with a pattern of bright white veins. The plant has a bushy growth habit and usually reaches a height of about 30 cm. It is primarily an ornamental plant that is grown indoors because of its distinctive leaf colour and texture.

Care
Caring for the Fittonia White Forest requires attention to the heat and humidity levels the plant is accustomed to in its original habitat. Indirect sunlight plays a crucial role in the well-being of the plant, as does a well-draining, yet moisture-retaining soil. A constant temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius contributes to optimal growth. Regular misting of the leaves helps to maintain humidity.
