The Nerve Plantis so-called because of itsvariety of veins or ‘nerves’ running through each leaf. As an easy-care plant and with the wonderful colour variants, the Nerve plant makes a great gift or starter plant.

The Nerve plant houseplant is definitely one of the great communicators of the plant world and can be used as the proverbial ‘canary in the coal mine’ when it comes to knowing when to water all your houseplants, especially when the Nerve plant is kept in lower lighting conditions. This is due to their nature of drooping when thirsty and bouncing back after a good drink, so when it droops check if everyone else is ready for a pool party.

This is a great countertop plant for bathrooms or kitchens, where the humidity level is naturally high. They look great when various colours are planted together and also make fabulous pops of colour in a terrarium.

Also available potted in a 13cm Terracotta Pot with matching drip tray.

Please note: Fittonia is not known to be toxic to pets or humans.
