The Fittonia mix originates from the tropical rainforest of South America, mainly from Peru. This graceful houseplant is also known as the nerve plant due to its striking leaf pattern that resembles a network of nerves.
Characteristics
The Fittonia mix is a notable plant with a beautiful leaf pattern. The leaves are characterised by their brightly coloured, veined nerves against a dark green background. The leaves are generally small and have an oval shape. It is a low-growing plant that works exceptionally well as a ground cover in terrariums or mixed containers.
Care
The Fittonia mix is a plant that needs indirect light and does not cope well with direct sunlight. It is important to keep the soil constantly moist, but avoid the plant standing in water as this can cause root rot. High humidity is also important for the growth and health of this plant. This plant prefers a cooler environment, with temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.
