Origin
The Fittonia Mosaic Mistral is a popular house plant originated from tropical rainforests of South America, mainly Peru. Here, the plant grows on the forest floor, adapting to conditions ranging from direct sunlight to shadow.

Characteristics
The Fittonia Mosaic Mistral, also known as nerve plant, is popular for its striking leaf pattern. The plant's leaves are predominantly dark green with a mosaic-like pattern of cream or silver-coloured veins, which gives it the nickname 'mosaic plant'. The plant usually does not grow taller than 15 to 20 centimetres, making it ideal for a small space or as part of a larger planting.

Care
The Fittonia Mosaic Mistral requires a high level of humidity and indirect sunlight to thrive, consistent with the conditions of its natural rainforest habitat. Both over-watering and under-watering must be avoided; the soil needs to be kept moist but not soaked. The plant prefers a warm environment over cold temperatures, with an ideal temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.
