Nerve Plant, also known as the Fittonia plant, is a unique and vibrant houseplant that is sure to bring some life to any room. It is native to the rainforests of South America and is known for its brightly coloured veins on its leaves. 

• This Nerve Plant comes in an 8cm biodegradable pot which is stable and can be left as is or planted into another pot - the choice is yours. We have 3 different colour options for you to choose from: green, pink or red. 

• We recommend matching with one of our plant pots. You can also check out our other indoor plants here.

🪴 General care: Very easy

• These cute little guys are known for the brightly colored veins on its leaves, which come in shades of pink, white, and red. It has a compact but creeping growth. Great for hanging baskets or on shelves or window sills.

• Not only are they pretty to look at, but they are also great at purifying the air and can even help reduce stress. If you're new to caring for houseplants, Nerve Plant is a great choice as they are low-maintenance and easy to care for.

💦 Water: Moderate

• Nerve Plant likes evenly moist soil, but be careful not to let the plant sit in standing water as this can lead to root rot. 

• Water Nerve Plant once per week, less often in Winter and more often in Summer. 

•  If the soil feels dry, it's time to give your plant a drink. If it feels moist, hold off on watering for a bit longer.

☀️ Light: Moderate

• Nerve Plant prefers bright, indirect light. 

• This means it's best to place your plant near a window that gets plenty of natural light, but not directly in the sun.

• Nerve Plant is fairly adaptable and can also thrive in low light conditions. Just be prepared for it to grow a bit slower.

🌱 Growth: Small compact bushy

• Nerve Plant prefers a well-draining soil that is rich in nutrients. A good potting mix for the Fittonia should be made up of a combination of potting soil, perlite, and peat moss. You can also add a small amount of slow-release fertiliser to the soil to provide the plant with additional nutrients.

• Nerve Plant will grow faster in warm humid environments however this is not necessary. 

• Standard home humidity is perfectly fine but if you want to increase it you can use a Plant Humidifier. 

✂️ Maintenance: low

• Nerve Plant doesn't require much in terms of maintenance, but it's always a good idea to give your plant a good clean every now and then. 

• Rotating the plant also ensures even growth and shape.
