Description

Its distinctively patterned leaves have earned Fittonia several names, including the nerve plant and the mosaic plant. Take special care when watering your Fittonia; distilled water, rainwater, or cooled boiling water from the kettle are all excellent options. Water it thoroughly and allow the pot to drain until no more water is dripping from the bottom. Overwatering is usually indicated by yellowing and falling of leaves. When the edges of leaves get brown and crispy, that means the air is too dry. If the plant begins to lose leaves, it could be because of insufficient light or a draughty environment.
