Fittonia agyroneura 'Mini Red Vein'

The fittonia is known to be hard to grow so it is best bought at a nursery then cared for. They are available as trailing houseplants or low-growing creepers that are perfectly fit for terrariums or bottle gardens. As beautiful as they are, fittonia are difficult to raise as conventional houseplants; they require very high, constant humidity (typical to a terrarium), but cannot stand stagnant conditions. Fittonia also dislike strong, direct sunlight and will quickly suffer from burn.

Small buds may appear after time where the stem splits into leaves. Flowers are small with a white to off-white colour.

Divide the plant by removing from the pot, and pulling apart into sections that can each be replanted in a separate pot.
