- Vibrant Foliage: The Fittonia features deep green leaves with bold, colorful veining in shades of red, pink, or white. Its textured leaves provide a striking visual contrast that enhances any indoor décor. Compact Growth: Growing to a height of approximately 6 inches, the Fittonia remains compact, making it ideal for small spaces like terrariums, window sills, or decorative pots on desks and shelves.
- Humidity Lover: This tropical plant thrives in environments with higher humidity, making it a perfect choice for bathrooms or kitchens where humidity levels tend to be higher. Misting regularly will help keep it happy. Shade Tolerant: The Fittonia prefers indirect, low-light conditions, making it suitable for rooms with limited natural sunlight. It can also thrive under artificial lighting, adding flexibility to its placement in the home.
- Watering Needs: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring the plant doesn't sit in water, which can lead to root rot. Regular misting helps maintain humidity levels. Temperature and Humidity: Prefers temperatures between 60-80°F and requires high humidity levels. Place the plant in a humid environment like a bathroom, or use a humidity tray or misting routine to keep the air around it moist.
- Lighting Requirements: Fittonia thrives in low to medium, indirect light. Avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. It can adapt to fluorescent lighting, making it great for offices and low-light spaces. USDA Hardiness Zone: Fittonia is typically grown as an indoor plant but can thrive outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 11-12. In these zones, it prefers warm, humid conditions and should be protected from frost and cold drafts when placed outdoors.
- Soil and Potting: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix to ensure adequate moisture retention without waterlogging the roots. Repot your Fittonia every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for healthy root growth. Pruning and Maintenance: Regularly pinch back the tips to promote bushier growth and prevent leggy stems. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep your Fittonia looking its best and to encourage fresh, healthy foliage.

Testimonials
Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
