Fittonia
Your Fittonia can tolerate a range of lighting conditions and like to be kept moist. Fittonias will thrive in a terrarium due to high moisture levels! They have a unique compact size combined with a striking leaf pattern.
Easy Care Facts:
Lighting:
bright, indirect light
Lower light can cause it to lose some of its vibrant color and growth will slow, but direct, full light can damage the leaves.
Water:

Fittonias will thrive in high humidity. Place a humidifier near or use a pebble tray. It is suggested to place near other high humidity loving plants near each other to create a micro-climate that they grown in naturally.

average room temperatures between 65-80 degrees; avoid cold drafts & heat vents
