Fittonia Plant

Fittonia verschaffetiiNerve Plant | Mosaic plant

A Fittonia Plant (Nerve Plant/Mosaic Plant)is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. It gets its nicknames, Nerve Plant or Mosaic Plant because of the distinct veined appearance of its beautiful ornamental leaves. These veins are always a different color than the rest of the leaf and can be white, pink or silver. The leaves of a Fittonia are about 2” long, green in color, and are attached to fuzzy stems. This is a small, compact, low-growing plant that looks good on windowsills, small shelves, and in terrariums. A Nerve Plant requires a little extra care, but it makes a great houseplant. Its lush variegated leaves brighten any room.
