Origin
The Fittonia Pink Tiger originally comes from the rainforests of Peru, South America. The plant belongs to the Acanthaceae family and is also known as the Nerve Plant.

Characteristics
The Fittonia Pink Tiger is a houseplant with striking, oval leaves characterised by a pink-purple hue and unique, contrasting veins. These veins create a sort of street map across the leaf, which gives the plant its alternative name. The growth pattern of the plant is typical; Fittonia Pink Tiger is a compact plant that usually does not grow taller than 15 cm and expands horizontally.

Care
The Fittonia Pink Tiger prefers an environment with lots of light, but must be protected from direct sunlight. It craves a well-draining soil mix and a high humidity, similar to its original rainforest habitat. Water provision should be moderate, the soil must be moist, but not soaked. Overwatering and drought should be avoided to keep the plant in optimal condition.
