Hi I love plants and cacti, I'm still learning how to be a great plant carer. I successfully grew a sunflower seed to bloom.

Fittonia Albivenis 'Frankie'

I saw this white spot in my fittonia, and it isn't mold. Can anyone help me?

I don't see one, unless you mean the tiny spot at the tip of the one leaf? If you don't find any pests or damage to the other leaves, I wouldn't worry too much. If it bothers you though, pinch the left off at the base and discard it.

UPDATE: My Fittonia is doing GREAT, (for 4 days). I checked the soil , and it was dry, I water it at the top, Apparently I should be watering the Fittonia at the bottom, is it a big deal if I didn't? Btw is a Frankie Fittonia for the one who are wondering...

These can be quite fickle. Consistent watering helps. #coolcontainer

Yes, they love high humidity conditions, so your bathroom is one place they do well, or as a terrarium plant. The do NOT like direct sunlight, and they *faint* when underwatered. Easy to revive them with a quick drink.
