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 'Pink Forest Flame' produces rounded green leaves etched with vivid pink veins that branch in a flame-like pattern. The contrast between the deep leaf background and the bright venation gives the foliage a glowing appearance, with newer growth often showing lighter tones before deepening with age.
Care Tips:
Light: Grows best in moderate to bright indirect light.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist; avoid prolonged dryness.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity levels, making it well suited for terrariums.
Temperature: Maintain warmth between 18-24°C, away from cold drafts.
Fertiliser: Feed lightly with a diluted fertiliser during active growth.
Repotting: Refresh the potting mix when roots crowd the container or growth slows.
