Description
Fittonia albivenis 'Red Flame' is a stunning indoor plant admired for its striking green leaves accented with bold red veins, creating a vibrant mosaic effect. Compact and low-growing, this variety is ideal for terrariums, small pots, or as a decorative accent in shaded indoor spaces, bringing a touch of natural beauty to your home.
In Perth, Fittonia thrives indoors where it can enjoy a warm, humid environment, as it is unsuited for long-term outdoor cultivation in the region's dry climate. Plant it in a free-draining potting mix, position it in bright, indirect light, and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular misting helps maintain humidity, and occasional pruning encourages fuller, healthier growth.
