The Fittonia Red Vein, also known as Fittonia verschaffeltii or the Nerve Plant, is a striking and popular houseplant admired for its vibrant and intricate leaf patterns. This plant features small, oval leaves with a dramatic network of red, pink, or white veins contrasting sharply against a deep green background. The vivid coloration of the veins creates a visually captivating effect, making it a standout addition to any indoor garden. Fittonia Red Vein typically grows to about 6 to 12 inches in height and spreads outward, forming a dense, low-growing mat that is perfect for terrariums, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover in larger containers. It thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps to enhance the vivid colors of its leaves, but should be shielded from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn. The plant prefers consistently moist soil and high humidity, making it well-suited for environments such as bathrooms or kitchens. Water the plant regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, and avoid allowing it to dry out completely. Fittonia Red Vein grows well in average room temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and benefits from regular misting or the use of a humidity tray to maintain its lush appearance. With its vibrant foliage and relatively easy care, the Fittonia Red Vein adds a touch of exotic beauty and charm to any indoor space.
