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 Star' is a distinctive cultivar with narrow, jagged leaves marked in silvery white and edged with fine green margins. The foliage has a textured appearance from the ruffled edges, giving it a spiky outline uncommon among Fittonias, while the bright centres lend a luminous quality.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain leaf contrast.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not saturated.
Humidity: Requires consistently high humidity; thrives in terrariums.
Temperature: Best maintained between 18-24°C, away from cold draughts.
Fertiliser: Feed lightly with a diluted balanced fertiliser during active growth.
Repotting: Refresh the soil when roots become crowded or the plant loses vigour.
