Fittonia

10 cultivars

Fittonia, commonly known as Nerve Plant or Mosaic Plant, is a genus of striking tropical foliage plants beloved for their highly intricate and contrasting leaf venation. Originating from tropical rainforests, these compact, low-growing plants form dense, creeping mats of soft foliage. Depending on the variety, the deep green leaves are heavily netted with vibrant veins in shades of white, silver, pink, red, or deep purple. Because of their small scale and preference for high humidity, warm temperatures, and filtered light, Fittonias are exceptional choices for enclosed terrariums, shallow tabletop bowls, and miniature indoor landscapes. While they demand consistently moist soil to prevent wilting, their eye-catching texture and brilliantly colored patterns make them an incredibly rewarding accent in any interior foliage collection.
