Fittonia albivenis aka Nerveplant

Nerveplant presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

Nerveplant should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Nerveplant loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Nerveplant prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the wintertime, it's common for Nerveplant to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

Nerveplant is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

The Nerveplant does not necessitate supplementary humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their roots, rather than their leaves. Hence, the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants is by watering the soil.

The Nerveplant should be transferred to a new pot once it has increased in size two-fold, or on an annual basis, whichever occurs earlier. Replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the necessary nutrients, is sufficient enough to support the growth of the plant, thus avoiding the need to use fertilizer. It's important to note that plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.

Nerveplant grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Nerveplant’s native range is Colombia and Peru.
