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 'Paradisian Pink' features pointed leaves suffused with bright pink centres and sharply contrasting green margins. The venation radiates outward in deeper pink shades, producing a patterned, almost mosaic-like effect across the foliage.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; colour fades in heavy shade.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Humidity: High humidity is essential; suitable for terrarium culture.
Temperature: Maintain warmth between 18-24°C, avoid exposure to cold draughts.
Fertiliser: Apply a mild liquid fertiliser during the active growing season.
Repotting: Refresh the potting mix every 1-2 years to maintain vigour.
