  •   Fittonia 'White Nerve Plant', also called White Nerve Plant, is a tropical evergreen native to the rainforests of South America, particularly Peru and Colombia. It belongs to the Acanthaceae family and grows naturally on the forest floor, where it spreads low beneath a dense canopy.

      The leaves of 'White Nerve Plant' are small, oval, and deep green, laced with a fine network of white veins that run across the entire leaf surface. It grows low to the ground in a spreading, compact form, staying well under six inches tall. The white-veined leaves are the most consistent identifier across all light conditions.

      Flower information for this cultivar is limited and unverified, so it's worth focusing on a few other confirmed traits. 'White Nerve Plant' is pet friendly, meaning cats and dogs can be around it without risk. It also wilts visibly when dry, then bounces back quickly after watering.

      Rotating 'White Nerve Plant' every few weeks keeps growth even on all sides. It works well in terrariums, where the enclosed humidity suits it naturally, and it also does well near kitchen moisture. Keep it away from air conditioning vents and heating units, and shelter it from rain if moved outside. Because it is sensitive to being moved between environments, it settles better when kept in a consistent spot.

  •   Fittonia 'White Nerve Plant' grows well under office fluorescent or LED lighting and in bright indirect light from north or east-facing windows.

      It wilts noticeably when the soil dries out, then recovers quickly once watered thoroughly every seven to ten days.

      'White Nerve Plant' does best in a moisture-retentive, well-draining mix such as peat or coco coir blended with perlite.

      It prefers temperatures between 60°F and 80°F and drops quickly when exposed to cold drafts or sudden temperature swings.

      'White Nerve Plant' is a slow to moderate grower and benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 11 and 12, where frost does not occur and temperatures stay above 40°F year-round. It grows outdoors in Hawaii and parts of southernmost Florida. Outside those zones, it performs best as a permanent indoor tropical houseplant.
  • Q: How do I know when Fittonia 'White Nerve Plant' needs water?
    A: It droops and wilts noticeably when dry. Once you water it thoroughly, it perks back up within an hour or two.

    Q: Does this plant do well in a terrarium?
    A: Fittonia 'White Nerve Plant' is one of the most natural fits for a terrarium setup. The enclosed environment holds the high humidity it needs without any extra effort.

    Q: Can 'White Nerve Plant' handle south-facing windows?
    A: South-facing windows produce too much direct sun and will scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window, or a spot a few feet back from a west window, works much better.

    Q: Is this plant safe for cats and dogs?
    A: 'White Nerve Plant' is non-toxic and pet friendly, so it is safe to keep in homes with cats and dogs.

    Q: Why does White Nerve Plant look stressed after I move it?
    A: It is sensitive to changes in environment and can droop or drop leaves after being relocated. Keeping it in a consistent spot with stable humidity helps it settle.

    Q: Can I grow White Nerve Plant in my kitchen?
    A: White Nerve Plant does well near kitchen moisture from cooking and washing, which raises the ambient humidity around its leaves naturally.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
