Fittonia 'White Nerve Plant'

White Fittonia 🤍🌿 is loved for its deep green leaves traced with bright white veins, giving it a crisp, high-contrast look that stands out in smaller spaces. It does best in bright indirect light indoors with a bit of extra humidity, so it’s especially happy on desks, shelves, terrariums, or in bathrooms and kitchens away from harsh sun. This plant stays fairly compact, but it does like more consistent moisture than drought-tolerant houseplants. Pro tip: if it suddenly flops over, don’t panic 😅—Fittonia is famous for dramatic thirst signals and usually perks back up after a drink.
