We love a good Fittonia at Crimson, but are especially smitten with this new-to-us variety of Argryoneura, identifiable by their broad veining and teeny, dense foliage.

Commonly known as a "Nerve Plant" because of their striking resemblance to the nervous system, Fittonia are such a unique and beautiful plant. They are compact growers, native to the rainforests of Peru. As forest floor dwellers, these plants are highly adapted to lower light, but humid conditions, making them an ideal houseplant.

Light: Low light to medium light is best for these plants. Avoid direct sun. 

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but never wet or soggy. These plants can recover well from under-watering, however over-watering can be damaging to the roots. If you notice your plant is limp, give it a good soaking. You should notice the leaves perking back up after a couple of hours.

This plant is pet friendly!
