Plant Description
Description
Fittonia (Mixed Varieties), commonly known as the Nerve Plant, is a compact tropical houseplant loved for its colourful veined foliage in shades of white, pink, or red. Its low-growing habit makes it perfect for terrariums, desks, shelves, and smaller indoor spaces where it adds a bright splash of colour.
