Name: Fittonia argyroneura, also known as nerve plant.
Origin: It originates from Peru and other areas of the South American tropical rainforest.
Description: Fittonia argyroneura is a plant from the Acanthus family (Acanthaceae) found in the tropics. It has striking leaves in shades of pink and green, white and green, or green and red, with veins that take on an alternate tone. The flowers are insignificant, ranging from reddish to white, and tend to blend in with the foliage.
Care: This plant requires high humidity but not excessive watering. It thrives in terrariums, hanging baskets, dish gardens, or as ground cover in suitable climates. It prefers well-draining, moist soil. It tolerates bright to shaded conditions, but it thrives best with bright, indirect light. It should be placed in a warm area and kept away from drafts.
Watering: Water moderately and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Use room temperature water to prevent shock to the plant.
Pruning: Trim the tips of the plant to promote bushier growth and prevent a leggy appearance.
Issues: Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. The plant may be susceptible to Xanthomonas leaf spot and mosaic virus. Common pests include aphids, mealybugs, and thrips.
