Nerve Plant (Fittonia)

Brief Description

The plant image shows a very young seedling of what appears to be a Fittonia, commonly known as Nerve Plant or Mosaic Plant. It's characterized by its small, oval-shaped leaves with prominent, contrasting veins, which are typically white, pink, or red. As a seedling, the veins are already quite visible and distinctly patterned against the green leaf.

Care Instructions

Fittonia thrives in high humidity and bright, indirect light. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. It prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and can be sensitive to cold drafts. Regular misting or placing it on a pebble tray can help maintain humidity. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
