Fittonias are colourful rainforest creepers that love to mix things up. One batch of cuttings can throw white, yellow, pink, green and red, from fine netted veins to broad colour panels. They crawl and root as they travel, take pruning in stride, wilt dramatically when dry and bounce back after a proper soak. Keep light soft, moisture even and the air warm and humid to keep patterns crisp.
Fittonia 'Forest Flame' bears deep green foliage marked with bright red veins that spread in a flame-like pattern. The bold venation contrasts strongly with the darker background, giving the plant a vivid, fiery effect across its leaves.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers moderate to bright indirect light.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist; do not allow to dry out fully.
Humidity: High humidity is essential for maintaining healthy foliage.
Temperature: Maintain between 18-24°C, away from cold draughts.
Fertiliser: Use a diluted balanced fertiliser every 2-3 weeks in the growing season.
Repotting: Refresh the potting mix when roots crowd the container or growth slows.
