Description
Fittonia albivenis 'Skeleton' is an eye-catching variety of Nerve Plant distinguished by its light, yellow-lime-green leaves accented with vibrant red veins. This striking contrast makes it a bold addition to indoor spaces or terrariums, where its unique colouring can shine. Its compact, low-growing form makes it an excellent choice for pots, terrariums, or as part of a mixed indoor plant display.
In Perth, Fittonia thrives indoors or in terrariums, as it requires high humidity and struggles in the dry outdoor conditions of the region. Plant it in a free-draining potting mix and place it in bright, indirect light. Keep the soil consistently moist without overwatering, and use misting or a pebble tray to maintain the humidity it needs. Occasional trimming helps promote a fuller, bushier growth.
