Fittonia ‘Forest Flame’

Fittonia ‘Forest Flame’ is a vibrant foliage houseplant prized for its striking network of fiery red and pink veins that contrast beautifully against deep green leaves. Compact and colourful, it brings an instant splash of tropical colour to shelves, desks, terrariums and smaller spaces.

Commonly known as the Nerve Plant, Fittonia is native to the tropical rainforests of South America, where it grows beneath the forest canopy in warm, humid conditions. Its love of humidity makes it one of the best plants for terrariums, bottle gardens and humid rooms.

Unlike many houseplants, Fittonia will quickly let you know when it needs water by gently drooping its leaves. Fortunately, it usually recovers rapidly after watering. Keep the compost consistently moist, provide medium to bright indirect light and maintain good humidity for the healthiest growth and most vibrant leaf colour.
