Northern Ridge Nursery Fittonia

Fittonia is considered a moderate-care plant. It is not difficult, but it is dramatic; it will wilt quickly if it dries out, though it usually perks back up immediately after a thorough watering.

No, Fittonia prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, so it is best placed in a spot with filtered light or a north-facing window.

Yes, it is an ideal candidate for terrariums. Its compact, low-growing habit and high humidity requirements make it perfectly suited for enclosed glass environments.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. You should water it whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, which typically requires more frequent watering than other common houseplants.

While it is primarily grown for its foliage, a healthy Fittonia can produce small, subtle white or off-white flower spikes. These are not particularly showy, but they are a sign that the plant is thriving in its environment.
