Fittonia

Nerve Plant

Fittonia is also known as Nerve Plant. It is native to south American rainforests. They are known for “fainting” when they don’t get enough water, but will jump right back up after a quick drink! Because these plants are native to rainforest floors they can tolerate some shade, this makes them great houseplants to add color to some of your homes shadier spots!

Recommendations for growing success:

Light: Filtered indirect light, shade is tolerated

Water: Water regularly in spring and summer months, water more sparingly in winter

Repotting: Repot in spring
