Attributes Type: Tropical Height: 12 in – 18 in Spread: 3 in – 6 in Light: Bright IndirectWater: ModerateZone: 11 Pet Safe: Non-Toxic Care General Maintenance: As the nerve plant originates in a tropical setting, it flourishes within a high humidity environment. Misting may be required to maintain humid-like conditions. Temperature: Growing nerve plants should be placed in a warm area, avoiding drafts that will shock the plant just as water that is too cold or hot. Light: The fittonia nerve plant tolerates bright light to shade conditions but will truly flourish with bright, indirect light. Low light exposure will cause these plants to revert to green, losing the vein\’s vibrant splashes of color. Watering: These plants like well-drained moist soil, but not too wet. Water moderately and let growing nerve plants dry out between waterings. Use room temperature water on the plant to avoid shock. Soil: A standard potting soil with a peat moss base will suit the nerve plant well. Fertilizer: Feed as recommended for tropical houseplants per the instructions of your fertilizer brand.
