Description
Fittonia albivenis 'White Tiger' is a striking Nerve Plant cultivar renowned for its bold white-veined leaves set against lush green foliage. This compact, evergreen plant is ideal for terrariums, tabletops, or as a unique addition to indoor plant collections. 'White Tiger' thrives in low-light environments, making it perfect for shaded areas in the home. Its intricate leaf patterns add a decorative touch, creating a vibrant, living artwork.
In Perth, 'White Tiger' performs best in humid indoor conditions or terrariums, as it is sensitive to dry air and extreme temperatures. Use a free-draining potting mix and keep the soil lightly moist, avoiding complete drying out between waterings. Regular misting and a gentle feed with diluted liquid fertiliser during active growth will keep the plant looking its best. Protect it from direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.
