Origin
The Fittonia 'White Tiger' 12/tray originated from the tropical regions of South America. Here, the plant predominantly grows in the dense, humid undergrowth of the rainforest. The species is named after the botanists Elizabeth and James Fitton, who brought the plant to Europe in the 19th century.

Characteristics
The Fittonia 'White Tiger' 12/tray is a compact and ground-covering plant with striking leaves. These are predominantly dark green in colour, but are generously covered with a fine pattern of white veins. This creates a unique and conspicuous contrast. The plant is characterised by soft, lightly hairy leaves and small flowers that rarely bloom in an indoor environment.

Care
The Fittonia 'White Tiger' 12/tray prefers a humid environment, given its tropical origin. The plant needs to be sprayed regularly and the growth medium should remain consistently slightly damp. The Fittonia likes indirect light and temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. A too dry or cold environment can lead to leaf loss. With the right care, this plant is a graceful addition to the interior.
