Grown for their attractively patterned foliage that comes in a variety of colours, fittonias will add a bright splash of colour to the home. This plant is sent out as an unnamed and unlabelled fittonia, so the plant you receive may be a different variety to that shown in the photo.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from. - Home care: Keep well watered (using tepid water) during the growing season, but keep drier during the winter. Lovers of high humidity, avoid placing them next to a radiator, and mist the foliage regularly if they are not grown in a steamy bathroom or kitchen. Maintain temperatures above 15°C in winter.
